I would like to thank Roberto for his unbiased straight forward posts that are usually very well reinforced with facts and experience! He is a prolific poster who always has something useful to add to the conversation, and I've been reading his posts with reward since I first came to this...
My coworker and I talked this over today and I now understand.
Looks like I have some retro-fitting in my near future. I did buy the techflex today too, hopefully they wont be so fugly.
OK, I wasnt understanding your point....this is what I have done. I used a different color scheme for my plus/minus, but have done this exact process.
Bernard, I agree on spades vs bananas and didn't know ML recommended otherwise. There is a family owned and run electrical supply house in...
Thanks for all the help and fresh points of view. I finished them tonight, only to find out the spade connectors I have are to small on the amp end. I'll have to drive into Boulder on lunch and by a couple banana ends. I might spring for the techflex too while I'm there because they are...

That was my calculation as well, but thanks for the confirmation.
One thing is for sure, these might win an award for ugliest cables eva! I have them almost finished. I am excited to try them....
I used blue/blue white and green/green white for + and the brown/brown white + orange/orange white on the - side. any reason that is inferior to the strips and solid?
But yes I was wanting to reference the conductor size if Im using 6 equal lengths of cat3.
Dont forget Ken Kesey, Justin. He was the left coast's counterpart to Leary, just in a laid back Californian kind of way. :D
...and the Merry Pranksters claimed Leary was no fun to party with!
Well I started this project Saturday. I found out quickly that solid core wire isnt friendly to braiding. After trial and error (and a lot of waisted cat3) I decided it was impossible to work with 10' of 42 individual bare wires, so I left the middle 7' inside its original sheath. I need some...
Hello, welcome to the forum. This place is a wealth of information, have fun taking a look around.
So ML actually suggested the Emotiva gear? Which models have you purchased, and which did they suggest? Can you post pics?
Thanks
