That audio equipment looks fun. Looks like a low mass (low weight) hdmi cable, nice.

Matt, have you ever tried this stuff? Just had my car CQuartz'd and asked the guy what he uses for interiors and this is what he "swears by"?

I decided to test cheap HDMI cables and haven't noticed any degradation.

Default BMC Filters

Since I have the bumper off the car awaiting my new FVD exhaust, I asked Rhonda at FVD to send me a set of BMC filters. The exhaust should be here from Germany on Monday or Tuesday! Hopefully in time for the Smokies trip.

haha surprise surprise, expensive cables are nothing but a rip off. especially for digital(hdmi). i mean, either the signal gets there or it doesnt.

and then 100's of dollars for audio cables when the music was originally recorded with $40 xlr cables.

I'm a notoriously cheap guy but definitely do not agree that different cables can not make a big difference in home audio. Now in car audio, I've never really done a comparison so I guess it is possible that in a more acoustically difficult environment you might not be able to hear differences.

Haha those ultra slim HDMI cables were actually an upgrade for me. Regular weight HDMI cables were destroying the HDMI ports on 2 of my laptops (too heavy).

Money. You know I'm a garage copycat, and have now hit the home stretch on mine. Very similar to yours, except I have 2 separate 2 car garages with 2 double doors. I used Swisstrax and also silver saber cabinets. Very pleased with all of it.

Now I have the same issues with light, or lack there of. Have bought new fixtures and now on to the tubes. I found your post on page 32 of this massive string. You went with Verilux, right ? Love to trade with a great poster on this forum, can't see that SATCO sells those from their website. Did you buy fron them or elsewhere?

Again, thanks much for all your posts and great info. Like your videos, just consider going a little more brief.

Matt, I figured you might have a clever solution to this:

After I wash and dry my car, even if I wait 2 hours or more - when I put the windows down and then back up there is a bunch of water on them (coming from inside the door).

What do you do to prevent that, if anything?

Thanks in advance,

Jeff

Hey Money!

Not stalking you or anything but am curious if you got your FVD package? Inquiring minds want to know

I have the same problem with no solution. It takes like a day or so to dry.
