prodj101 Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 well after I got sick of dealing with those old fasion screws on the output that all old amps have, I decided it was time for something better, so I started looking. I posted on the forum, and got this pointer. it works great! now it can accept any cable. I just got some mini spades, and soldered them to some full size binding posts, works quite well!

tpg Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Is that amp tube or SS? Well, that is certainly one way of connecting wires. hehe I got some of those binding posts with no hole in them the other day for an amp i built... I never knew how much hassle it could be to rap the wire around the bolt, screw the thing on it, then have it fall off... repeatedly.

There has to be a better (and cleaner looking) way to do that. For now I'll stick with the original Mac solution that came with the amp. Tony B.

Nothing weak at all about a vintage Mac amp and vintage Klipsch speakers. I was very fortunate as I only paid roughly $1400 for both the La Scalas and Mac amp. Very fortunate. Although I have the 5.1 promedias I've listened only to the Mc\Klipsch setup since their arrival 2 months ago. Outstanding sound. Call me blessed, Tony B.

Tony B. ---------------- well, mine is the MC-2105, and the back is facing away from me (like most peoples amps) so it really doesn't matter anyway. as for a BETTER way, , you could always do a major overhaul of your amp and redo the panel that has the output jacks, or buy some of those rip off things from the website that cost 20 bucks a set and don't work any better.

sunnysal Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 craig, I bought those adaptors as well, I just hate to use banana plugs (all my cables have spades) so I have not gotten the most out of them yet. I wish someone would make and item like that that took spades...hey craig, small cottage industry? like that Spealunker guy? tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Tony, That would be a cool idea ! But like the Spealunker I bet I would end up charging about the same once I paid the high cost to have it tooled up to recoup my investment. So why not just let my buddy Paul (spealunker guy) have that business ! He really is a great guy ! Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnysal Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 craig, yeah I know what you mean. I was never able to purchase from paul because we were not able to come to an agreement about how I could pay. since I live overseas my options are limited to bidpay and yahoo payments, he takes neither (though bidpay is western union) so maybe you could serve a niche market, expat buyers? LOL! some day I will find something that fits my needs AND I can buy on-line...warm regards, tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Sunny, Paul offered to sell me quantities at a discount for resale. I just never pursued it because the discount wasn't enough to make it worth while for the investment.By the way he does actually assemble these himself because he told me at the time only 50 were built and he would need a week to construct the rest so those are not something that is manufactured somewhere complete and then he buys them. I searched High and low to try and find them LOL !! Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnysal Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 craig if you ever decide to sell them I would buy about 4 pair from ya...that is of course if you would take yahoo payments. ; ) regardsm tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Well send me the money now and I will get you them as soon as a start selling them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
