Cheater plug safety
In order to make my Dynaco st70 safe to use, I would need to have a three prong plug attached?  Easy to have done, but just asking if that is the solution?

Thank you for the explanation jea48.  Actually I have been zapped once by the unit, but it was my error.  I was setting the bias, which of course you do with the unit running, and touched the wrong part of the amp (i.e. the exposed parts around th...

kijanki, or anyone who cares to answer, does older equipment such as a Dynaco ST70 that has its original 2 prong plug have a greater shock potential?

Geoff, is it your basic premise that the drawing of the metal through a hole in a die or draw plate to form the wire imparts a directionality to it?  Not sure how this works.

geoff, I work for an electric utility.  There is no consideration given to wire directionality when putting up power lines.  Is the assumption that wire directionality matters in some situations, such as fuses and carrying a sound signal, but not ...

I am the caveman here, I don't believe in wire directionality of bare wire, as it relates to carrying a signal.

Simple logic:A person who likes the sound of their system leaves it alone.A person who does not like the sound of their system continues to try to improve it.No way around it.  If your in the latter category, better to spend more and change compon...

Yes, the SR is much different, according to their website they do this:Conditioned with a proprietary treatment that alters the conductor at the crystal structure and then treated with 2,000,000 volts of electricity which alters the conductor at t... 
Mogami 3104 Spade Lug Connector AWG Size
The canare I am using also has 4 wires per cable, but 14 vs 12 gauge. Seems manageable for the most part.

Hi tls, I am thinking you hit the nail on the head and its overkill.  I'm using a 35 wpc el34 amp.  But this wire has a great rep, is reasonably priced, and I was thinking of giving it a shot. Probably will just stick with my Blue Jeans canare.Hap...

Would someone explain why some preamps invert polarity?  Seems it would be just as easy to not wire them that way.  Thanks
