RE: Any Advice for Black Mamba / MPS Hercules Build?

Posted by Duster on July 23, 2020 at 21:57:47:

Hi, Rob. I meant to add this before the site went down this afternoon:

I recommend that you terminate one of the power cords with a set of unplated copper Viborg VM502+VF502 AC connectors.

Try the Oyaide Black Mamba V2 with Viborg VM502+VF502 for the power amplifier first. Then try it for the network player/source component, and let me know about your findings.

Try Furez FZ124AS 12/4 bulk speaker cable wired with a cross-connected geometry (Star Quad) instead of the Duelund wire:

Choose HQ speaker cable connectors such as Furez SP8-SB60NP bare copper spades, carefully terminated with copper crimp sleeves:
