    Recommend wire for building replacement headset cables?

    Hi all. I have two gaming headsets (so headphone + mic) that the cables have just worn out on over time and I'd like to build replacement cables. I realize I could just replace the headsets (they're cheap) but like the idea of building new cables. I can do basic soldering and it doesn't look...

    Digitally recording interviews?

    Hi all. I'm interested in making the transition from recording interviews on tape to recording them digitally and am wondering if anyone here has thoughts or experiences they'd like to share. What are my requirements? The unit needs to be portable (smaller is better) and have at least 1...
