Hello Fellow Inmates; My system consist of a Sansui au317 integrated amp, a Sansui tu 217 tuner, a Technics mash cd carousel, a Akai Gx-280D-SS reel to reel, and finally a set of Utah 8" coaxial speakers in custom ported boxes, "white lightning speaker cables, also custom interconnects (DYI),the BGT from the tweak forum and finally isolation blocks. Call me crazy..... This system is on the cheap, less than $250 total. I have been tweaking this stuff for years, I recently decided to wire directly from the amp to the speakers without any terminals or splices. Now the only weak link that I see is the aforementioned Spring loaded Speaker connections on the amp. I was thinking of removing these clips and install a nice set of real speaker terminals that I can actually get a good mechanical connection with. I am looking for tips and suggestions of what you would do if this was your project. What about wiring from the amp straight thru to the speaker terminals with one straight shot of wire? Or what type of termination would be best if I keep these spring clip terminals? thanks for your input.... |
