| Speaker Cable Termination Opinions - Bananas or Spades @fuzztone - I’m not a fan of bare wire. @jjss49 - the amp is a Plinius SA -103 and speakers are either Dali Helicon 800 or TAD ME1. So the binding posts are durable. That’s the concern - I want to keep them that way. | |
| Speaker Cable Termination Opinions - Bananas or Spades Two more pieces of information. The cables will be set for biwire at the speaker end. There is a small challenge with swapping the amp end on the speaker cables in that the amp is suspended under the floor below the speakers due to restrictions in... | |

| Experience with Inakustik 3500P Power Conditioner?? Alex, one last thought. Check all six outlets before you call Bob, to be sure they are all reading the same. | |
| Experience with Inakustik 3500P Power Conditioner?? @rareace It’s probably as simple as the wires switched on the C20 connector inside the unit. I would contact Robert and see how he wants to handle it. | |
| Experience with Inakustik 3500P Power Conditioner??

| Experience with Inakustik 3500P Power Conditioner?? Do you have another C19 power cord you can test with? You will need to determine if it is the cord or the unit. It is just as possible the cord is miswired. | |
| If I just use a DAC, do I need a Pre-amp? I tested my system last year as you are considering. In my case I preferred the system with the preamp. In my case the DAC was a NAD M51 and the preamp is an Aesthetix Calypso. I was considering eliminating the Calypso. The Calypso has the bes... | |
| Does anyone collect something else other than music. Pinball Machines. Mostly EM (electro mechanical) from before about 1977. But some newer since then. Iron Man is the newest. It fills a real gearhead bent without the depreciation. | |
| seeking recommendations for a preamp Unfortunately it doesn’t come with a phono section but an Aesthetix Calypso is in your budget and stands right up there in sound quality. | |
| The quiet grid Finally got around to spending some time with my system this weekend and this week and have to agree that the quieter grid is one real benefit of the current unfortunate circumstances. My system has never sounded better with no changes whatsoever... | |
| Looking for Help with Speaker Jumper Cable Choice "But I lie awake at night worrying whether jumpers are directional." Agon needs a "like" tag option on posts like other forums offer. I like your comment. As for going for some JPS jumpers, I struggle with spending $400 on a set when the cables... | |
| Looking for Help with Speaker Jumper Cable Choice I went to solder the high frequency leads directly to the low frequency binding posts last night and found the wires are terminated with a female flat spade connector which slides onto the male spade tab that is clamped/nutted to each binding post... | |
