[mantis]

No one needs any wire....shit think about this........you can say you have "Mantis Wire"in your system...That alone would up the value..........waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa a

[RuSsMaN]

'Mantis Wire', I was about to order until you said that, I don't know that I could apply such a term to any of my precious rigs. ;)

Whatcha got for coax? Let me measure my S-vid cable now.

Also, what is #12, an rca pair?

Cheers,
Rooster

[mantis]

12 is audio analog.

Coax I got plenty.....

[RuSsMaN]

Well, I could use up to 5 coax cables, 1 or 2 need to be 6ft.

How about pairs (on the cheap) of analog rca cables? The garage rig and guest room rig could use an upgrade. I'm a die-hard signal cable fan, so I'm looking for $20/pair or so, otherwise, I'll go with what I know works, and works well.

Cheers,
Rooster

Cmon guys, here's the discount Monster sale you have been looking for. I know *some* of you are running generic video cables, man up.

[madmax]

From what I hear that Mantis wire will really wake up your system. It has been professionally burned in and nothing else compares...
madmax

[mantis]

Russ,
let me know exactly what you need and I'll put a package together for yeah.
I don't have 5 digital coax cables,but I do have a 6 footer you need in Monstercable.
Your looking for digital coax correct?Or do you want coax as in rg6?

[Dr. Spec]

Mantis - fix me up with some wire for my front end. I'll use whatever you recommend and send me. I have one pretty short run on the left and one 8 foot run on the right.

Doc

[RuSsMaN]

Rg6, cable tv.

[dorokusai]

Mantis - Interested in the 2m/4m M500v S-Video, and the M550i/950i. What are the lengths on the 550i/950i?

[mantis]

Russ,
I got several Monster Cable TV rg6 premade cables ready for yeah. IM me ,I can get them out to you when your ready.

dorokusai,
The length of the M950i's and the M550i's are all 1m.
M950i's are 60.00 each and the M550i's are 30.00.If you want them all,150.00 bags em and we can talk about shipping.We can meet on that,I'll chip in.

[mantis]

DOC,
Email me..Dmantis20@aol.com
Phuz wants the bi wires.But if he backs out,I will hook you up.There 15 feet long.I got Spade and banana ends.

[yoeddy]

Mantis,

I sent you an email regarding the M950i's.

Let me know.

[scottvamp]

Lot ol' cable Mantis - sounds like the 5 finger discount at the Tweeter store. ;)

[mantis]

Scottvamp,
no man I own all of my cables.I am switching out alot of my cables for KimberKable.I have alot of extra cables in the closet due to me trying out cables,I'm sure you know about my wire fetish.........LOL

yoeddy,
you got mail.

[scottvamp]

Just messing with ya BUT
only like a year ago those cables total value are more than your entire rig - the one I had to snipe you to take pics of and show.:confused:

[mantis]

ALl good man, fun is fun now what cables do you want???

[scottvamp]

Just bought $200 bucks worth the other day to revamp my living room rig. I do need speaker wire but fairly long runs.

[yoeddy]

You've got mail. I won't horn in on anyone else's buy. If you have bi-wire you think will go well with my speaks and AVR, then we can talk more. I'm willing to give wire a try and see if it really improves the sound. Thanks.

Sorry, missed this before I posted in the other section looking for an update.

Well, I've got a pretty decent ear for detail and I'll keep an open mind about whatever benefits high end wire can bring to my front end. I'll be honest in my assessment. If it sounds really better, I'll admit it. If I can't hear diddly of a difference, I'll admit that too. It can't hurt to try, and I know Dan will give me a killer deal on the stuff (right Dan?).

Doc

[stevew14]

Hey Mantis,
This is off on a bit of a related tangent, but are you still going with the heros? I just ordered one and was wondering how you like yours so far. I know you tried them out. I will be replacing a Monster 950 between my source and preamp. Do you think the change will be obvious?

Thanks for the time
Steve

[Dr. Spec]

Dan and I have exchanged private emails, and I am waiting to see if another member decides to bite on the bi-wire stuff. If not, I'm next in line.

If the bi-wire goes to another, then Dan has graciously offered to make up some substitute stuff.

We're currently in a holding pattern until the bi-wire is resolved. No hurry on my end. Dan's been great so far.

Doc

[mantis]

Doc,
you got mail...There yours Doc.


stevew14,
950i's from monstercable are good quality cables.I know I own pairs of them.
YES Kimber I own and Hero is the name.They are an amasing sounding cable.I couldn't believe how good they are.I wasn't ready for that....I picked them up due to all the hype and I have been dying to give Kimber a home demo.I'm cleaning out all my current wires as you can see by this thead.I have more wire but I'm holding on to some of my wire untill I'm fully KimberKable.
I have been intrugued to give the silver streaks a run.I have a co worker who uses them in his high end 2 channel system and he said there amazing.I told him about the Hero's and he said that alot of his friends picked them up and where blown away,he is now going to give them a run......He also said the PPj's are really good.
Speaker wire I'm going to use 8tc/8tc bi wires....effin killer expensive but it's worth it.......

As Russ pointed out awhile ago,Kimber is my flavor of the month....they sound like the flavor of the year or so.....
Dan

[Dr. Spec]

Mantis,

Got your email. I respond later today. Consider them sold. I'll send the money and you can ship them out after the check clears. Thanks and I'll post a full report/review after hook-up.

Doc

[mantis]

Doc,
you got mail returned.Here's alittle something to hold you over.

[mantis]

Something happened,no pic,that was strange.

[Dr. Spec]

In my best Homer Simpson voice "M1.4 bi-wire.....ugggghhhhggghhh".

I like the spades for the speaker end - nice. Definitely need plugs for the AVR end.

Doc

[mantis]

got em Doc,I have both for the speaker side.Bananas for the amp side.You can configure them any way you want.I'll send you mad tips.

[mantis]

Brett,
got your check today,soon as it clears ,wire will be on the way....

[F1nut]

Soon as it clears???? WTF, that isn't Scott you're dealing with.

[mantis]

Hey I gotta have it cleared.Then I send.Whats not fair about that?
He was cool with as everyone else I'm dealing with is cool with it?why aren't you?

[F1nut]

Whatever Dan, it just struck me wrong. I've sent stuff to people here before getting paid and will continue to do so. People, by nature, are honest (except Scott Trigg) and I believe in the Club Polk brotherhood.

[F1nut]

Mantis's new sig:

"SIMPLY BETTER CLUB MEMBER!"

It's time to get off your fantasy horse. You or I are no better than anyone else in here, however it seems that you need a reality check. Something like, "Most Full Of Himself Club Member" would be more appropriate. :rolleyes:

[faster100]

Boy this is really getting your goat huh, No disrespect just a comment.. Dan seems like a upfront guy, I would hold the check also but that's just me, No offense to members or you personally

[mantis]

F1nut,

Dude relax,this is my very first time selling anything online.I normally don't sell anything so I am new at it.I'm trying the best I can.So far everyone I have sold anything to aren't complaining about the way I am doing bussiness,which is none of your bussiness.
It was suggested to me that I wait untill the check clears to send product by one member so I just went with that Idea.I normally trust everyone untill I get done wrong.The internet if you haven't read makes me nervous.I hope you can understand that instead of biting my head off.

It's time to get off your fantasy horse. You or I are no better than anyone else in here, however it seems that you need a reality check. Something like, "Most Full Of Himself Club Member" would be more appropriate.
You don't read much in here do you.You have no idea what my sig means...Why don't you ask Russman or polkatese what it means........
Dan

[F1nut]

Oh, I read plenty and I know what you think it means. I'm just saying that it comes off wrong.

[F1nut]

"I hope you can understand that instead of biting my head off."

You're right Dan, sorry about jumping on you about this one.

F1

[Dr. Spec]

I usually head this off at the pass by asking up front how the seller wants to be paid.

If he wants a personal check, I always make the effort to tell him he doesn't have to ship until it clears. In fact, my last Polk transaction with Wallstreet went this way, and I emailed him the day the check posted (I have electronic checking). Then he shipped out the speaks.

I only think it's a big deal if the buyer and seller have different preconceived notions and there is a misunderstanding after the sale.

I bought Dan's M1.4 bi-wires for my mains, and a length of Monster 14-4 bulk for my center channel, and I have no problems waiting until the check clears because he mentioned it right up front before the sale.

I'm looking forward to seeing just how much of an improvement I will hear from the mains on critical 2 channel playback.

For what I paid for everything, it's not much of a risk and I remain open to the possibility my current selection of speaker wire is limiting the potential of my system. A full report is pending!

Doc

[mantis]

F1nut,
My sig was a joke with polkatese.The growing support for B&K is cool.I personally believe in B&K.

It's cool dude,I try to avoid fighting with members when ever possible.I turned over a new leaf awhile ago and I'm sticking to it.
Personally I think the forum is much better today then it has been in the past.I really enjoy talking with all you guys.It's alot of fun.Troy and Russ don't have the tag team thing going anymore,but if they do,you know we will be at it just like old times........like Brothers all arguing over nothing........all good.
Dan;)

[mantis]

Doc,
I am looking forward to you owning them as much as you are.I can't wait to read your review.I think you'll be floored on what they unlock in your system......

what joke, Dan? B&K is NO joke...it's a slice of heaven, ok, may be not that dramatic..but B&K (or Rotel) with Dave Brubeck, now we are talking serious audiophile grade reproduction! right, Tour? :D

[mantis]

I'm glad your diggin your B&K setup.Such a fantastic sounding piece.
polkatese

[F1nut]

You two need a room....jeez! :lol:

[madmax]

I had pretty much decided on being a little non-trusting of people due to my transaction with Scott but after dealing with a few others here I still tend to send without payment. I can see both sides though. The thing that always makes me wonder though is "why should the seller have the governing hand". I mean, with my bad transaction I was the buyer and the seller got one over. I guess as I'm typing here I'm realizing that the seller is normally more at risk. I guess once you offer something for sale a lot of the time the maggots come out of the woodwork. No point really, just thinking while I'm typing.

Dave Brubeck "Time Out" - got it playing as we speak. :-)

Whatever it was, I'm with mantis, he's buying us tee-shirts with the proceeds of the wire sale. :D

Seriously the Brubeck was very fine. Didn't even realize it was a Telarc disc until I pulled it out a couple days ago.

BTW mantis, may want to do a list update on what's left.

And polka, man every e-mail I've gotten from you has been blank. Are you using a white font color or what???

[mantis]

Agreed Tourma,
I'm gonna update the list here and maybe start a new thead.......
Thanks Bro

Tour,
I did mention that it was a Telarc production, even though it has Starbuck logo on it. I just sent you another email using my other address. Let me know if you still can't read it.....

Hey, we have Dr. Spec enjoying "Time Out"...ok, Doc, you can go take five after this...:D

[Tour2ma]

Received and replied to the latest e-mail, so I think we're caught up now.

And always remember with me, just because you tell me something, it doesn't mean I'll remember it.

[polkatese]

Tour,
gotcha! btw, here is another wonderful album recommendation, if you like Brubeck, try this one! Recording quality is awesome too, sultry, simply great music (Lionel on vibes, sample the track on this link, especially Time after Time with Ron Carter:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000001A9W/dealtime-damu/102-6542148-2277729

Sorry for hijacking your thread, Dan...can't resist recommending a great jazz album while we are on the topic..

[mantis]

We all should be used to the Hi Jacking ,..................................

It's cool

[Dr. Spec]

Mantis - I sent you an email on the wire shipment, but I can't access my home email from work. Did you get my address OK?

Doc

[mantis]

You good Doc,
package is coming your way tomarrow or Monday.
Dan

[mantis]

I had to put my 14-4 bi wires back into my system.What a system let down.I can't wait to move so I can move forward with my system.This waiting thing my wife is making me do is really getting old........

[reeltrouble1]

Dan--Wires came today just as you promised:D

Hooked up and subs are playing, now for the "moving" to find that perfect spot for them.

Thanks,

RT1

[mantis]
