Hi StephenR,

Your input was appreciated. I see you built your own preamp, but use a Ear 509 amp on Tannoys in your main system. Had you been building your own amps on an ongoing and extensive basis, I believe you may develop a different set of wire-use experiences.

In a SE amp, for example, a single run of TCSS for ground will not cut the mustard - at all. Maybe a single run of Kimber TCX night do OKish, ( which is THREE TCSS runs in one bundle...15 gauge rather than 19 gauge.)

A 12 gauge lead of high quality would outperform TCX , however, that Siltec 12 gauge silver wire is COSTLY, and beyond my financial reach. Dennis uses lots of it in his SEer product I believe,

Cheers,

Jeff Medwin
