Yeah, me two. Up in Toronto there were all manor of specialty wiring and connectors. I used Radio Shack banana plugs and/or RCA plugs. I did buy 14 gauge wire for my speakers. Citation 16 for power and Dynaco Pas-5 Preamp, Thorens TT and Mayware arm w/Signet(?) cartridge to B&O speakers. All to mat well with my listening room. How old am I? ;-)

@auxonic@ottawa.place Do you not realize that The Globe And Mail is the ONLY Canadian owned newspaper in Canada. All the rest are us owned. Even if you disagree (and you are well entititled to) there is no need for such a vehement reaction. Even I do not always agree with their perspective.
