lol... you're not alone
I'm worse... I unplug the speaker jack and connect them to my mp3 player without asking them XD
but then of course if I'm done with it I'll plug them back to where it suppose to be

Haha i thought i was only one~

Sometimes i always go off all other speaker to test the one i wanted to listen too....

Same here. No choice else I will not be able to test the speakers that I wanted.

Yeah, Tonight I'm going to grab a M3400 If price below RM160. Else I grab M1380 for RM129.

Just want to check with you guys. Is it alright if I mod my stock speaker cable to a 12 AWG cable for my soon to be Edifier S530D. Will be purchasing S530D soon and was thinking to change the speaker cable to a 12 AWG cable. Is it possible as I do not want to damage my speaker. Kindly advise me. Thanks!

I don't think there is a need to mod it..
Just change the speaker cable and it's done.
Why not try 2X AWG?

i m also gonna to change the speaker cable.. and now thinking the way to convert the 3.5mm to optical input

no mods required... just change... like plug n go

it is also recommended to change the provided 3.5mm to rca cable to a better one tho

Remember to report how do you feel about the speaker you buy

Speaker cable just to transfer signal from amplifier to your speaker, changing to a bigger size won't damage your speakers don't worry.
You can try change to a better cable quality with same gauge size as your stock speaker cable, either pure copper or silver coated pure copper something.

Planning to change my speaker cable to a better one and DIY my own 3.5mm to RCA cable soon. Will be dropping by Jalan Pasar one day. After that, thinking to buy a proper external soundcard from Jaben. Currently Ibasso Boa is in my mind. Hehe!

Thanks guys for clearing up my doubt. Am just worried since this is my first time investing so much in a speaker.

I guess that would be a dac instead of a soundcard..
Can consider a few more models..
Like Maverick D1,Ordnance .25 things like that.

many audiophile start from Edifier. I start with their H500.
Still sound awesome. Now my house got 2 set of C3.

Have fun modding and enjoy the potential of S530D.

I myself started from Altec Lansing.
Then go to Edifier.
Now in Acoustic Energy.

lol... I start with cap ayam speakers XD

Me too..But I started the counting with the speaker I really know..

Same here. My first speaker was some unknown speaker. Later got conned into purchasing a brand called Tsunami that cost me RM100 plus plus. Was really a noob during those time.

Edifier MP250 Sound bar Review

MP250 Sound Bar Review

my COBY cap ayam speakers cost me RM90 only... but honestly this speaker is ridiculously good compared to all cap ayam speakers available out there. it is also so much better than Sonic Gear XD

with only one fine tuning to the port,everything sounded ridiculously awesome for an RM90 speaker XD
the subwoofer sounded like an 8" subwoofer,just that the loudness is physically limited
