My old computer speakers went kaput a few months ago and I spent some time choosing a new set of Altec Lansing speakers. These little things sound great with their separate subwoofer.
I have some really nice speakers as my main audio monitors for work, but the little ones suffice when I want to just listen to MP3′s or quicktime movies, or hear the bleaps and blurts that the computer makes.
But when I cleaned off my desk tonight I accidentally dragged the top section of the desk over the main audio cable, completely stripping the insulation off and thoroughly messing up the wires. I know from my limited experience that I probably won’t be able to repair it since it’s a shielded cable and getting it all back right is a pain. Suckage.
