Your 2 cents are worth a lot. Thank you

Been a while, eh? Happy New year.

RE: banana's: That sounds very good, but I have two worries..

1. Cost. as of now, I have been considering 3 trials of 3 pairs, that's 36 banana's.

2. Resistance. For the lower guage wires, I really am worried about total resistance. If a load is 4 ohms, 1% loop total is 40 milliohms..2.5 per foot means #14 exceeds what I'd like, #12 gives me 12.8 milliohms over 4 connections, #10 gives me 22 milliohms over 4 connections. I'm not sure banana's can do that repeatedly.

Since I hate the concept of rapid switched testing, I want people to take a week or two..too long, and we all die of old age, too short, I simply do not like.

I hope spade lugs are not too much of an inconvienience.

Duster: ""
If spades were selected, a universal fit type should be selected to accommodate 1/4'' or 5/16'' binding posts at either end of the cable.""

That information is very useful. Thank you.

Re: reports..I think a generic report form should be devised, and it should be posted online. I have no desire to moderate or otherwise affect the reports. But that brings up an interesting point...feedback on the wires must not be able to specify which wire does what, as that could contaminate results further down the road. I gotta think about that..

Cheers, John
