Mogami - Quad 12 ga. in the house!

I recently (the past month+) attempted to purchase Canare 411S from Performance Audio and their "purchase" function did not work (for me) on their website.

I sent them an email regarding such, but did not receive a reply.

I then purchased the same cable online from Markertek and had the product in hand within 7 days (ground delivery) even though they were being hammered by extremely bad weather @ the time.

Not a big purchase (just 50'), but still.

digs:

I ended up using my basic Miller 100 stripper for Canare 4S11.

Borrowed a multiple hole stripper (somehow that just doesn't sound right) from neighbor, but it was too long cumbersome to maintain a 90 degree angle when pulling/pushing off the PVC jacket (lost many strands).

The compact Miller worked well, though I had to don leather work gloves as the jacket is difficult to remove.

Out of 16 strips I only lost a couple of strands (not a big deal).

Erik:

What are the "pants" you refer to?

After my stripper post, that's as far as this/my query goes on the matter.

I found stripping the Canare painful/tedious, but I have mild arthritis in a few finger joints.

Ordered the copper spades you suggested, so will have to go through the process again as the binding posts mucked up the wire /copper strands.

Looks like I may need to rough up/mat out the finish on the spades (per reviews being that they are too slick), but figure that if really needed I'll just lightly clamp them (mini vise) with medium particulate sand paper.

I didn't want to "pop" for your Mogami cable as the Canare may only end up in two Sharp based mini systems, but I would have popped for Canare 4S11G (if I could have found it for sale in the USA).

Interesting,  never seen (probably didn't notice) those before.
