    Ok. I’ve ordered a tape measure. Check out the 1970’s remaster from another Aussie classic band .
    Sounds extraordinary on SDA’s

    From the Luminu2x -to the Soon to be replaced Jlti oppo205 ! New dac will be a ???
    This SInope SE cable is replacing an Audioquest diamond .75

    After ten hours I’m very impressed,sounds more dynamic with very Airy highs , tighter deeper textured bass and the midrange is very holographic becoming effortless ,Liquid almost
    I’m finding the more upgrades I’m doing ,the better control the Monoliths bottom end has , it feels like more energy and control is focusing into the midrange and top end.

    The Audioquest is no slouch though ,I feel it’s a bit more analytical and in my face than the SInope,I loved the AQ for the 6 weeks I had it and highly recommend it !

    Will .75 be long enough for your printer?

    Lol. My printer needs an audio grade USB so it can make the annoying sound clearer. :D

    Updated the design to omit one of the pointed detents. This will let the other end self-align perpendicular while pressure is increased. Will make install a breeze....

    Hey Sean, version 2 can be accomplished by machining the large bolt head flat. A 9/16-18 bolt head would have same contact area as 1" round dowel....

    Plan on using 7075 alloy and Grade 8 zinc plated bolts and nyloc nuts with copper anti-sieze.
    you'll just need a 13/16" (21mm for you Blokes) wrench to install after a good dab of Loctite Powergrab or Liquid Nails.

    A spring-loaded punch will make for pinpoint placement accuracy as well.

    Im looking into using 1.25-1.5 Dia. Black Delrin too for damping and resonant characteristics vs. sand filled alloy.

    You given up on this idea Xschop?

    The point would be pointless as it wouldn't penetrate the particle board under compression. Would be a smudgey affair I'm afraid.

    Think I'll go the extra trouble to butyl wrap the alloy rods just for good measure. B)
