Had to reterminate some speaker cables today. I wanted to use something like the wbt-0610 type but they are stupid money so I bought a set of these from Amazon for £18

Tertullus 4 Pcs High End Stackable Angled Banana Plug Gold/Rhodium Plated Banana Connector Accommodate Speaker Inner Cable Up To 7mm (Rhodium) : Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo

Really impressed with them. Much sturdier than I was expecting and they easily accommodated the 8TC type cable that I’m using.

One complete rebuild of a phono stage later, turning it on and seeing how it breaks will be for another day.

It is a fair reflection of how things are going generally that another day is actually now. But…

No explosions and music on both channels which is a definite step up on the last 2+ years, and of utmost importance we have a proper LED.

However, I might now build the SUTs (top box) into the stage itself as I have deliberately left space there and swap the output caps (Mundorf standard Supremes for a fairly tasty pair of ClarityCap PURs…)

Well done, but

@MrKettle

proper LED

It appears to be both blue and bright enough to cause lasting retinal damage!

TUT!

Specifically requested by MrsKettle though, in keeping with other stuff.

TUT! I say!
