It is a long story, but basically one of my friends used to have an email account on hotmail using that name, when he stopped using it I took it over for a screen name. I've been thinking about changing it since it sounds like I'm a psycho. \:\)

Well heck Warrant, why didn't you tell me before I spent money on cables and got into this long conversation based on years of reading junk science? Thanks for the information. I still find it strange that corrosion would not impact the quality of the electrical connection, as was my original point, but I'm glad to know it. Does that mean that the cheap gold-plated tin they sell as speaker wire is just as good as solid copper wire? Given the price of copper on the market I did not think lamp cord actually had much copper in it and thus would cause audible issues.

Glad to be wrong on this, now I can return the wire I just bought from Axiom and get some tin lamp cord. ;\) Thanks for the info Warrant, I'm sure you have had to dispel the misunderstanding often.

So Warrant is Mr Russell? I had no idea, what an honor to have him stop by now and then on our little Axiom forum. \:\) Mr. Russell, I have referred to your wire table for years, and have a link on my articles website page, hope that is ok with you..

Is that what he meant? I thought that warrant had indicated in earlier posts that he was a relative newcomer to audio. I took it that the "who am I" format of the post was a playful way of bringing out Mr. Russell's qualifications.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

JohnK, thanks for the welcome. I apologize if the nonsense offended you. With all the science that goes into the thousands we spend on audio and video, it was not hard for me to believe a corroded old lamp cord may not compare to quality solid copper cable with circuits to “balance the loads,” etc., etc. Of course, my original question was simply whether or not I could use a banana plug on the QS8, but no matter at this point.

I always thought the k in kcarlile stood for Klein. Or sat down for Klein, since it's lowercase.

That's the way I perceived his statement also John.

I know you are being light-hearted here, but, still, given the attention to detail that most forum members exhibit, I am surprised that no one has yet pointed out that Appetite for Destruction came out in 1987.
