- I had to do it. Even WBT spades dont have the surface area contact patch that these VERASTARR custom spades do. Its to give honor to my favorite pure silver binding post !! MAXIMUM MIKEY !!
Mike will leave no stone unturned in his quest for the highest fidelity!
Im Cuckoo for coco puffs !!
You're a mad man my friend but in a good way!!!!!!
Coming from a guy thats rebuilding a Pantera..lol Rock on Bro !
That’s engineering. I like it.
Fun huh ? , this is my favorite career related thing to do.
Yeh that design make the spade to not be able to twist around the terminal.
Usually I use that phenomenon that I at tightening by only my fingers I turn the knob/nut and the spade the last ~10°-20° of a turn. That will make it a tighter grip on the spade that if I only tightening the knob/nut by "finger force".
Said that I see that the knob/nut in this example is bigger and it is easier to get a good hold on so that is not an issue. It is more a tip if you handle small knobs/nuts that is little bit harder to get a really good and tight lock down on.
LOL< so you area little OCD too I see.. Tee hee hee... I do the exact thing to get that last snug fit on regular posts, but you area perceptive one the large knurled nut on the WBT with its rubber washer around the outside of the pressure face of the nut make it so you can crank the piss out of it and its very solid .... cheers !
that is a great idea mike
more surface every little bit helps. ill check it out
i have those jacks The Cardas Duel goat one twist is a great idea also
Thanks man, Its just one of those things that is fun to create into existence from a thought. All of us can do this and I suggest everyone try it in some area with some thing. Just to let yourself know you are a conscious creator. ;-)
Are you not giving the electrons 2 different length paths (left and right vs middle) that would cause smearing of the signal?
LOL, youve got it too
How much for a set (2 speakers)?
4 pieces ? I dont know as I made them for fun not production. If we compared them to the WBT pure silver spades, I will guarantee you mine contain at the very least 5 times the silver content, and Im sure they could retail at half the cost of the WBT and Id be fine ... I'll do it if you guys will buy them.. probably would be somewhere around $30 each
I am willing to buy.
or you dont use nextgen crap, but a solid terminal so you have more surface area then this thing.....since bottom and top are touching....
Lol this. Ocd my ass.
Spade, banana or bare wire? What's best in your experience?
Bare wire for sure. as theres one less "thing" inthe signal path, but the gain is small, and for convenience and keeping things tidy like wire strands, then spades are second as you are in control of the clamping force, bananas are a necessary thing for certain things mainly not enough room type situations and is the easiest thing to do with one hand for sure. so, there ya have it . !
WOW
Will you sell those spades?
Yes, give me 90 days please
How do you keep your silver spade from tarnishing.?
I dont. I polish it after it tarnishes. what we call "oxidation" in electronics. Silver actually forms a sulfide and it is conductive and can give a certain sonic that some people love. Unlike Copper oxide which is non conductive and can cause big sonic losses.. Cheers !
@@OCDHIFiGuy And you want to keep them shiny and oxide free, a yearly dip in the old Tarn-X and you restore the oxide back to metal.
Thats actually the most OCD thing ever
Yyyyeah baaaby ! I love this kind of thing ... why do you think I call my site 11stereo ? Because my ass takes it beyond where everyone thinks it ends. Im one louder arent I ? lol Cheers !
