Inspired by a bevy of recent events (plus the very kind gift of some wires from a visitor this weekend!), I am striving to rid the scourge of CAT5 cabling from the big-boy hifi upstairs once and for all.
This morning, the treble horns got they bu tts re-wired* with Belden 9497.
The supertweeters'll be a while because there's solder involved... but it will happen. It will.
Also coming up anon -- I actually purchased the pair of Goertz inductors I've been using in my crossovers from their rightful, legal owner this past weekend, so I will be pulling out my much beloved clipleads. I will. Honest.
I might be persuaded to karma a set of audiophile approved, SET/horn/high sensitivity-friendly clipleads afterwards. Maybe.
______________
* I realized after I took and uploaded these photos that the polarity was reversed on both of the flippin' 2441s The polarity of both treble horns' wiring has subsequently been corrected... not sure when I'll update the photos, though.
Bought some Wireworld RCAs, just waiting for them to come and replace some Monoprice crapola.

Last piece of the puzzle. Just got to get an electrician over here to scope the main panel as it is old. Should be an easy run as we have a ranch and have already dropped cables down.
Trading up. Losing the Niagara 1000 and Thunder power cable. Gaining the 5000 and a Hurricane power cable. Super power upgrade.
Congrats to you on what should be a very noticeable and across the board upgrade! How about that as I'm due to have a new power conditioner arrive here this afternoon to. That is if ups doesn't find a way to destroy it somehow. Yesterday's project was installing a 3rd 20 amp dedicated circuit so I'm hoping it'll be plug and play when it arrives
Mine arrived a little earlier than ups said it would all 83lbs of it very well packed and
completely unscathed. It makes the belkin unit it's replacing look and feel like a toy
