Then you obviously have a good 'house ground', unlike some of my Italian and Belgian customers.

No, that would be considered bad practice imo. There are several factors that could preclude that from having a reliable outcome. A good anaelogy would be to say that you take your car to be wheel-aligned by a known, decent and calibrated alignment system, then use the car to verify whether or...

Great to hear Bob! :)

Cable ends and connectors oxidise and degrade over time. Electrons flow over the surface of connectors and cables as well as through them. You might notice an improvement by re-terminating those 30+ year old cables using new connectors or thoroughly cleaning the old ones. Chop the existing...

You just have to make sure that the un-grounded component (powered by an un-grounded C15 connector is grounded via a different, connected and grounded component. Otherwise you're isolated from ground and will potentially end up with some 'issues'. I'm never really comfortable with it and I...

I facilitate that only when it's asked for as it contravenes the IEC directive and CE safety guidlelines. It's easy enough to configure for a C15 connector - you just don't connect the pin, but the mains plug ground pin is always connected in order to ground the cable. For a C7 connector there's...

Launched today on Marktplaats. Won't be on my Etsy as their fees will just evaporate a big chunk of the margin, but I'll be selling direct via my website soon, when it goes live. https://link.marktplaats.nl/m2180341091 €95 for a 2m pair, plus €20 for every additional metre, which I think is...

OK, good to hear, thx. I'm going to place a 1m set at €75 and then €20/m for each additional 1m length. Getting a 2m set out for under €100 ($107.8) was the primary objective. I can still make an acceptable, if lower margin than I'd prefer depending on if I can achieve the volume I'm expecting...

How does bi-amping pilfered wire get pricey? Surely it's win, win.... without any price? :D

..and I should add: 'These magic beans' 'Nothing, you should be giving them away for free' 'Would you entertain a part-exchange for these old but genuine antique copies of Playboy?' 'A ride on my donkey' 'A ride on my camel' 'A ride on my wife' ...will not be considered as valuable responses...

Canvassing your opinion to establish a decent/fair price-point for a new speaker-cable model intended to complete my 'Core Function' budget-oriented range of cables. Description: Single-wire configuration only. Sommer 'SPM240' 2x4mm² (AWG11) OFC copper twin-axial (twisted-pair) conductors...

Now are you really sure about that '70's date Mr Chips? Sure it wasn't earlier? lol Even in the 90's when I was at uni we were using ppt files and projectors. Were you packing a slide-rule aswell? hehe :p

Good luck! I couldn't imagine going back to school for anything these days. I scraped 2:1 pass with my Product Design & Engineering BSc. Maths was a big part of gaining the pass and I hated going back to things like differentiation and stats but it had to be done. gah

Sounds like he was a real 'Mr. Charisma' through and through.

I use the Amphenol KS3PC TRS connector for people who need a bit of a stand-off to compensate for thick phone/DAP cases. It has a 3.1mm length 'collar' with a 6mm diameter between the Sleeve-section and cylinder to facilitate a stand-off. If you have a pair of calipers you could use those...

Great compilation of the dark madness that spills from his un-filtered brain and out into the medium of youtube. e.g. 'Whoever owned this car probably had a collection of severed feet'

Thanks! Most 3.5mm connectors take phone covers etc into account these days and there are extended connectors available for anything with a more extreme requirement. I use these super-offset Meze 109 (TS) connectors a lot for those who have earthquake-proof phone connectors. Theyre also...

10% discount for Phoenix members @mclucitt! I developed a cable especially for the Sennheiser 2-pin headphones. Uses heavier gauge OFC copper than the stock Senn cables (The Sennheiser stock cable is actually a decent cable in my view). Mine uses SC 'Square' cable with twisted pair geometry...
