yeah, and another thing i love is all this gold plated stuff

most components have tin interconnects (at least the ones i've owned) and in theory gold on tin is a bad mix

the component makers use tin to keep costs down and the cable guys use gold to jack the prices up...or is it because gold is a superior conductor...just listen to the difference!

my 3805 has tin binding posts, so i tried finding the old fashioned banana plugs at a radio shack the other day and had to go through the process of elimination with the (nice) kid working there
finally, i said, "maybe they're by the multi-meters"...they were. only problem...the posts aren't spaced the same...doh!
it's back to the shack for the gold ones...or i could just break the bananas in half


If I were truly plastered, could I do this?
