Magnet plug thingies

I thought I would try to make these magnet/plug things as it seamed rather simple to do. I did make a few changes. I didn't like the idea of using wood as the interior insulators since the magnets are carrying a live AC load, and knew a plastic would be better. After rumbling through boxes of plastic salvaged stuff I came up with using cheap thin funny-pipe. I used some Wattgate plugs that I had extras of and then inserted some cut nails into them to make contact.
Used hot melt glue to hold it all together.
Most folks will not be able to make these, and I think they probably should not unless they know what they are doing around live AC current ! For instance, wood is never allowed anywhere for AC insulators. Wood contains moisture and catches fire easily.

After having made two of these, I can say, Wow !!!

I had a nice system that I was very happy with since I had just completed making new frames for my Magnaplanar MGIIIa's, but thought I would give a try at making these since I had most of the parts already and had the skill.
The improvement in sound was incredible, a much more realistic presentation, literally like having musicians in my room.

Just go out and buy these pre-made things, they are amazing. Like buying a new $10,000 piece of equipment !
I think they come with a money back guarantee.
