Mains Power Cable DIY

Does dose anyone see these speakers in real?
Looks to be a tannoy 8 inch concentric, from their older ceiling speakers as well as studio monitors, System 800, plastic cone. Get a used pair for 500 bucks. Save a few million, what a deal!

Types of speakers to create nightclub style sound?
For any kind of electronic music party you cannot count on dual 10" woofers for bass. Real bass with impact and low distortion needs to be produced by a sub or a pair of subs. Pair of 15" should do. But also you need midbass with impact == big hor... 
Types of speakers to create nightclub style sound?
That would be a kick butt system to throw parties. A bit overkill in a 28m2 room. So... if you need to save money or need to make it work on a smaller budget, get a pair of Tannoy V12  ($600)+ Lab Gruppen E amp+ pair of powered subs+ an analogue a...

DIY phono interconnect -- need some advice

DIY phono interconnect -- need some advice
Don't think I will use any silver, copper is good enough for me. What's a "tiffany style" rca connector?The  Switchcraft 3502 is nickel plated.
