Mogami - Quad 12 ga. in the house!

I recently (the past month+) attempted to purchase Canare 411S from Performance Audio and their "purchase" function did not work (for me) on their website.

I sent them an email regarding such, but did not receive a reply.

I then purchased the same cable online from Markertek and had the product in hand within 7 days (ground delivery) even though they were being hammered by extremely bad weather @ the time.

Not a big purchase (just 50'), but still.

My Markertech box showed up yesterday.
It was maybe 7 months, but some odd Neutrik connectors were likely the delay reason.

It is likely around my 5th order from them.

I have gotten such a knee jerk responses, when people see the current zip cord in the avatar, that I almost hate to change them out.

The Mogami interconnect wire is also worth a mention, and the Neutrik ProFi RCAs and the Neutrik XLRs…

I've never had any issues purchasing cable and connectors from Performance Audio. Better pricing on the same products, shipped to East Coast within a week. Spend 2 dollars more per foot at your vendor of choice.....makes cents to me.

Yeah performance has worked for me...mogami was one of first diy speaker cable efforts...You must cut this wire after initial length cut...strands dont survive stripping.Fwiw.

(for anybody interested..3103,3104 in 7ft lengths)?

digs:

I ended up using my basic Miller 100 stripper for Canare 4S11.

Borrowed a multiple hole stripper (somehow that just doesn't sound right) from neighbor, but it was too long cumbersome to maintain a 90 degree angle when pulling/pushing off the PVC jacket (lost many strands).

The compact Miller worked well, though I had to don leather work gloves as the jacket is difficult to remove.

Out of 16 strips I only lost a couple of strands (not a big deal).

I was going to keep this simple... but it isn't.

First, my cable is too thick for basic pants.  So need more / bigger heat shrink.

Decided to go ahead and add a PET jacket. Well, my solder gun / heat knife got thrown away a couple of moves ago.  Considering this may be the last time I ever put together speaker cables it's really getting expensive. 😁
