| High quality "locking" IEC connectors? The quail retainer clips might not be what you're looking for, but they've given me an idea for a clip that I may be able to fashion from ebony for the same purpose. | |
| High quality "locking" IEC connectors? IeGO makes an IEC receptacle that has a support. You can find it on the CryoParts list. I haven't listen to the the IeGO connectors, but they've been building a good reputation and they're base is either pure silver or Furukawa copper. | |
| Nordost Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma? Interesting stuff here... Mbump, you must have a lot of patience. Moving Elrod cables around is a very time consuming task to say the least. I've done it a bit and I know how much they change when they get unplugged. The last time I did some compa... | |
