I think we are seeing the early stages of a new breed of educated consumer. There is a feeling of fraternity here that is reminiscent of the HAM radio days and the golden age of HiFi when amateur building was widespread. I'm not suggesting that everyone is going to start covering their kitchen tables with kits and DIY projects but forums like this one are starting to bring back an enthusiasm and thirst for knowledge that I find refreshing and contagious. A knowledgable consumer base is critical in these times when the home theater market is becoming more and more technically complicated. We need to share what we know with each other or we will end up being force fed by the large corporate producers of consumer grade electronics. And in that instance ignorance is definitely not bliss. Thanks again to the folks at Outlaw for giving us this space to share. I hope I don't hurt my leg getting down off this soapbox now.


Hey great fedback on how to terminate the MOGAMI 2534 cable with RCA interconnects. One small question. In your wording you mention,
"The overall shield wire is also soldered to the ground terminal but only at one end of the cable...trim it back and leave it unterminated at the other, etc..."
Ok when you mention trim it back and leave it unterminated at the other end what end are you trimming back? It appears that you are leaving one end unterminated and the other end terminated and trimmed back or is it the other way around?
Thank you
