By a happy coincidence, it was with solid-core that I wired a pair of speakons to link a pair of footlight monitors for our rehearsal. These cabs are cabled using the '2+/2-' speakon pins, so I needed a non-standard (for us...) cable to link 'em, and solid-core was on hand. One day I'll have to open the cabs to swap to 1+/1- cabling, like all our other cabs, but, for now, the solid-core works. Just sayin'.

To me, the original piece is a matter of timbre as much anything, which, despite the excellent technicity of the fellow, lacks wholly. I couldn't get far with it. Quite a 'Zappa' approach, and kudos for the enormous work involved, but I prefer the orchestral version, no contest.

For those unfamiliar with the work, here's a more 'traditional' version...

What, Dïck..? It's OK in context; 'Dïck Duvet and The Blankets' is not offensive.

Answer the question..! ...

Fixed.

The topic needs to kick the (wooden...) bucket..? ... or for 'metal' fans ...

Quite true, for avionic use, but for things like audio jack plugs or speakon cables, it's not a problem, especially if there's a compression plate system. If the cable is correctly restrained, there'll be no force on the connection at any time. In my experience it's fine. I'd rather the ends were tinned than have loose brins of multi-strand on the loose.

... and they all group together to smoke a Dove Tail Joint.

J'aime mieux 'Qui Sera Roi..?', mais tous les goûts sont dans la nature.

Corrigé.

Dépêche -toi..!

Un racine commun avec phlegmatique, non..? Sur l'web, pour flegme, phlegme ... B.− Au fig., cour., au sing. Caractère d'une personne calme et imperturbable, qui garde son sang-froid en toutes circonstances. Flegme imperturbable; ne pas se départir de son flegme; sortir de son flegme. C'est un homme qui a un grand flegme, qui est d'un grand flegme (Ac.1798-1932).Un ton de voix dont le flegme affecté cachoit la plus violente colère (Balzac, Annette,t. 2, 1824, p. 38).Impassibilité, qui peut aller de la douceur et de la maîtrise de soi à la froideur et au flegme (Mounier, Traité caract.,1946, p. 240).V. chiffre ex. 7 : 2. Il faut aussi convenir que dans la physionomie anglaise il y a un sang-froid, un flegme, qui est le caractère de la nation entière, et qu'on ne saurait rencontrer chez nous... Musset dsLe Temps,1831, p. 36. Edit : Oui, 'flemme' vient de la même racine, mais usage fait pencher plus vers 'laziness', qui sera plus à propos. Mille excuses, mea culpa.

Mon clavier n'a pas cette option, et j'ai la phlegme de chercher dans des caractères spéciaux. Ca ne fait que montrer des pièges à cons à rédiger dans une langue étrangère.

Ca, c'est pour les érudites. Je ne suis qu'un pauvre sot. (... mais t'as raison, bien sûr...)

On aura un peu plus de bon sens, peut-être.

OK, thanks for trying, just the same.

I've been doing connectors of all sorts for musical equipment and PA's for well over half a century now. My 5-year Avionics training with BEA gave me experience and theory as to the best connector for the job (crimps in much aircraft stuff...), and real-life experience in workshops, at home and in the field has shown to me what is best, for me, for jack plugs, speakons, RCA, XLR and much more (as well as my model aircraft...). A good solder joint, mechanically restrained, will not fail. A tinned multi-strand cable is fine (again, if restrained, but all connectors should be restrained, anyway, so...). Bare multi-strand is fine, too, if the strands are not so fine as to be ground away by screws, so tinning would be better there. Otherwise, no problem with bare cable. A spreader in much better in a screw connector. Crimping is excellent, with the right tools (not just any old pliers...). It's all good, if the technician knows what he/she is doing. I can't remember ever having a failure, whatever the method, except for abuse. I'd not advise any soldering, though, without the right gear and experience, and good wire strippers do not come cheap.

You are General de Gaulle and I claim my £5 ...

Guitar.co.uk have them as singles ...

From that site, the shipping to France is more than reasonable (3.36€, 1-3 weeks...), and payable with Paypal, so I've Done the Deed. @6feet7 : Thanks for the tip.

Sorry; was being flippant, really. I'll be ordering on-line from that link. Disclaimer : I'm a drummer; have never been capable of playing neither guitar nor bass with a plectrum, and these look to do the job, so I'll be giving the 'Starter Pack' a try. Maybe for nothing, but I'd like to have the option of pick playing (and have done for half a century..!). I doubt that I'd find a French supplier, and as a 'one off', hang the expense.

Here, maybe ..?

I agree (and don't go mentioning Nana Mouskouri, neither..! ).
