Yup.

I'm playing in the same sandbox.

I need to upgrade my crimping technique.

I love the Cardas Litz hook up wire for speaker/XO cabling. Kind of pricey and no shielding but my XO sits right next to my speakers.

I also use Cardas speaker binding post but am thinking they are a little thick and have been ogling WBT posts which are more minimalists. After removing all brass and non-copper connections from the chain, I'm thinking that less is more and removing all excess and unnecessary chunky copper from the path. I read on the intrwaweb (which means it must be true!) that thick copper adds smearing.

Anyway, here's a picture of my "diy quick release" method. Thoughts?
