I had a good friend sign up here, he's not posted once and not sure he's been back since as this place was far to tame for the likes of a union organizer like himself.

I think some of us have a lot of respect for some here on the board. Even if we are worlds apart in our beliefs (not many really are. As normal, if we were in the same room having a few drinks common ground would come rather quickly after the initial pissing match)

Stick around Boba...it's a good time if nothing else

I remember when I was on a local political BBS (For youngsters, BBS does not mean Better Bullshit) forum. We fought like hell and then one day someone suggested we all meet for pizza and beer. It was interesting putting faces with the political positions. We kept periodically meeting for several years until the internet destroyed BBS systems.

PC is surprisingly mild and rational relative to a lot of political forums. It seems that usually they get completely dominated by one particular position or just devolve into simple shouting matches. Here, I think there is a nice balance. I find it much more interesting and fun than debating the finer points of speaker wire.

Sometimes it's nice to have the clearly identified + and - cables, but I have found that a circuit tester and some red nail polish solves that problem too. And banana plugs on both ends also helps. Unless one is ADD, like this poster, and constantly shifts around components and speakers, the easy polarity identification is not that big a deal either.

Regards,

D-Ray

I did the 500 miles of cat5 braiding too, I still use them. I biwire simply because I won some cables last AK fest (you guys ARE going, right??).

After I had a loose banana plug fry my old Marantz I switched to locking bananas.

One thing I noticed, I placed a little pebble on top of my amp. As I move it around it changes the sound!

Amazing. If anyone wants one let me know, I think I can reproduce them for $1,397.31 each.

Plus shipping and handling.

It depends on what gauge you order.
