Which is why I neglected to include a brand name on the wire I sent ya..(actually, it never occurred to me to stamp the stuff..:-( )Did you receive the package of wire? I made the assumption that "ribbon wire" as a descriptor would satisfy customs..and you haven't answered my e-mail query..
Now the beginning of a likely even longer delay. Patience!

Sheesh, that took forever. What happened, did customs rip the box open or sumptin?? Perhaps a sticker from australia or hawaii?Cool.
Be careful when separating the ribbons, I do not know if the tape I used is prone to rip. I hope there is not too much difficulty pulling the tape off the wire where the lugs will be soldered.
What am I, chopped liver?
If the wire ever gets to bjh, he'll still have to have terminations soldered to them, like lugs..I recommended he not go crazy with the lugs, just a good joint. That way, if he doesn't care for them for whatever reason, he could ship em out to somebody else for a try.
I leave that up to him..
The cost to him is a post detailing what he did, and his impression of the wire. If he does so, and doesn't want them, I requested he pass them on..and I'll eat the cost of manufacture...40 cents per meter..
Yeah, I'd like to check 'em out. What did you send bjh? Lengths etc.
I sent you a pic. It was 12 foot give or take, of a four ribbon construct. bjh will cut to size.. a valhalla clone, albeit slightly wimpy in the resistance aspect as a main, better as a biwire top.. I am considering doubling or tripling the copper to get to valhalla levels of "quoted" resistance..I say quoted, as I've never measured them for a check of the vendor's claim.Cheers, John
