edited April 2019 in The Clubhouse
Club Polk members have been a huge help to me, my Son and Grandson, and It's time for a Karma! We just got a bunch of our older Alpha cables back that have been used in many shows over the last 6 years. These cables are in pretty good condition, given that they have been treated like show cables and have been connected and disconnected many times. These cables are all OCC Copper and have the best Furutech CF series connectors on them. See photos below.

This Karma includes these cables:
1 Alpha 11 Power Cable 2 meter length. New Retail Value $997.95
1 pair 10 ft. Alpha 12 Speaker Cables. New Retail Value $1830
1 pair 10 ft. Alpha XLR Balanced Interconnect Cables New Retail value $1026
1 pair 6 ft. Alpha RCA Analog Interconnect Cables. New Retail Value $652

RULES:
Must have at least 250 posts.
Free shipping for winner if you live in the Continental United States.
If the winner lives outside the CONUS must be willing to pay shipping. If you live outside the USA you must be willing to pay shipping and any import duties or fees.
Winner will be picked on Sunday Evening 5 May 2019.

HOW TO WIN:
Guess the number of Vampire Pin 1 connectors in the photo below.
THEN
Guess the number of Vampire Wire BAR small spade connectors in the photo below.
THEN
Add those two numbers together and the total is your entry number.
The winner will be the entry that has the closest number to the actual total number of both connectors in this photo. (Yes I have carefully counted them and know the number)

Here is what you will win if you have the closest number:

    Just another testament to the kind of guy you are Doug. You are an exceptional human being and I am proud to call you a friend. Not in, but a beautiful gesture just the same.

    Still praying for you, your boy and the entire clan.
