| Anyone Having Problem With Cardas Clear Beyond XL Power Cables Falling Out Of Equipment HI Samgar- two things that should help.

| Biwire to single terminal Hi TS - This should work fine for the vast majority of speaker cables. My concerns would only be with a network cable like MIT or Transparent, which might NOT work well this way as the networks are "tuned" for bi-wire applications. Good Luck | |
