RE: Solder or Nut-Tighten / Copper & Aluminum

Hi Craig,

I'm a regular at the Planar Asylum. My MG3.6Rs used tinned copper wire. I replaced the wire with Goertz MI1 and replaced the speaker wire terminals with Vampire BP-HEX binding posts. Using Goertz MI1 let me cut spades directly out of the wire using a 5/16" hole punch. I plan on applying a thin coat of Silclear to prevent the bare copper from oxidizing.

If you don't want to use different wiring, I think you should replace the binding posts (Vampire BP-HEX posts work with the stock punchouts) and wrap the solid core jumper wire around the internal post (clockwise) and TIGHTEN down. :)

Hope that helps,
Nils
