    Ron I Found Your Amphibian sounds like it could have been the working title for the follow-up to REM's What's the Frequency, Kenneth?

    Have you guys ever seen this lazy way of bending back the shielding wires on a coax cable and sandwiching the wires under the clamp like this in order to create/make the ground connection on an RCA cable?

    Would it really have been that much harder to just twist those wires up and solder them directly to the inside lip ground plane area of the connector? What the hell is going on here.

    I'd be more concerned about the center core connection on the pic

    It's a little off centered, but looks like it's soldered properly.

    I bet that off centered part is really going to get to you over time. It's going to eat at you from now until eternity.

    It doesn't bother me, and the cable is functional. I guess this is just the quality level that you get for $10 these days. This was the cheapest 6 inch RCA to RCA cable I could find.

    I planted the seed, Drew. It's going to bring back nightmares in your sleep of the VTI rack. You'll be trying to make love to your woman, but that center core connection will consume your thoughts and create performance issues. You'll be watching a movie and realize for the last ten minutes you haven't been paying attention because you are worrying that today is the day that connection is going to come loose. You're going to lose your appetite. You are going to come unhinged.

    I am OCD and it even bothers me.
    2 channel: Anthem 225 Integrated amp; Parasound Ztuner; TechnicsTT SL1350; Vincent PHO-8 phono pre; Marantz CD6005 spinner; Polk SDA2BTL's; LAT International speaker cables, ZU Mission IC's and power cables all into a PS Audio Dectet Power center.

    Other; M10 series II, M7C's, Hafler XL600 amp, RB-980BX, Parasound HCA-1500 amp , P5 preamp, all in storage. All vintage Polk have had crossover rebuilds and tweeter upgrades.

    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    That's actually the standard practice for RF coaxial cable shields -- or at least it was back when I learned to do it (1970s).

    Upgraded my 4 year old phone today, I bleed things dry before I replace them. :D

    Testing the much newer camera.

    Pixel 4a. I'm done with $800+ flagships. Phones have gotten good enough in all respects that I feel like it's just a waste anymore to be spending sometimes over $1,000
