How to Attach Spade 10 AWG Solid Copper
I purchased one of these criming tools a couple of years ago. It is very handy to have around as it works great. After crimping I always solder the joint for strenght and durability.

I'd be interested in the ICs, especially if you have a balanced version. I have a set of xlr connectors waiting for a project. 
New system, need help on CD Player.

I'm beginning to wonder...
Would you correct a person's poor speech habits if you were face-to-face with them? I'd consider it presumptuous and rude. 
Overshadowed by bandmates
Leon Russell when he was with Joe Cocker on the Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour. Actually he was overshadowed by the "stars" on many of the projects he worked on throughout his career.
