    Amp replacement for Edifier C2 2.1 speakers

    While possible to identify damaged capacitors (electrolytics) visually - by looking for bulges, ruptures, etc., they can be tricky to troubleshoot. Also, you cannot usually test them in-place, without removing them. And electrolytics deteriorate with time, so it is sometimes a good idea to...

    Amp replacement for Edifier C2 2.1 speakers

    Have multimeters with capacitance function. Still, capacitors can be really difficult to test and testing for capacitance alone is seldom enough. You'll need LCR and/or ESR meters to truly weed out the bad ones.

    Amp replacement for Edifier C2 2.1 speakers

    Thank you for tagging me - would have missed this otherwise. About my own C2, not long after my last update, I decided to go ahead and replace all the through-hole capacitors on the board. My (not totally scientific) reasoning being, if one cap went bad there could be others. Was able to...

    Amazon India lightning deals

    For anyone looking to avail this "Buy 2, get 5% off" offer, just realised (unfortunately a bit too late, in my case) that adding 3 items from this grouping actually gets you a 7% discount. If looking to buy a high-value item from this list, you could potentially save thousands by adding a couple...

    WTB 4TB 3.5" HDDs

    Curious also about this. If the warranty is only valid with the HDDs and NAS unseparated, are you not permitted to upgrade/downgrade drives?

    WTB 4TB 3.5" HDDs

    Would have bought the WD NAS, if not for the fact that the Reds inside are likely SMR variants (definitely not Red Plus drives, from any of the photos I could see). Would still risk and buy this if someone could buy the box alone for 20K. Any takers?

    Credit card discussions

    Thank you. The Amazon ICICI card took less than a day to obtain, and serves my purpose perfectly. Regret not getting this earlier - could have saved myself a ton of payment headaches.

    Credit card discussions

    Have basically never used a CC (at least in the past decade) and finally looking to get one. My only requirement is for the card to work on international websites (mainly ebay.com, amazon.com) where I order occassionally. My SBI "global" debit cards had worked fine for this purpose till a few...

    Received the guitar on Saturday. Huge thanks to @terence_fdes for taking so much care with the packaging (merely retrieving the guitar from the packing was exhausting) and also for agreeing to ship this, considering the risk, time and effort. He had to battle Delhivery to even agree to ship...

    "Do you have XYZ Credit Card?" Thread

    Took @chetansha 's advice, set up a Google Pay account and also got in touch with Ebay who responded with a checkout URL that had the Google Pay payment option. Surprised to find that Google Pay has a web-based interface whereby they accept card payments (had mistakenly thought that Google Pay...

    "Do you have XYZ Credit Card?" Thread

    Have indeed used it at an ATM and have enabled it for international transactions (both via SMS and netbanking). Have contacted the bank and will probably need to visit them to sort this out.
