Mini-Rant: Human Fingers
Are yours closer than the standard, for Five Way binding posts, which has been set for decades? Many have a hex built in, which makes it easy to tighten with a socket(or specialized) wrench. ie: https://www.amazon.com/AudioQuest-binding-post-wrenc...

Tru-Lift tonearm lifter for Technics
I’ve been using the Safety Raiser since 1980. My first lasted 30+ years. When it began lifting too quickly(6 years back), I bought a couple NOS/NIB pieces. Don’t need another, but- I’ve been wondering if the re-released version, is actually made i...

Can I use just half the biwire?
@boss302 - That’s why Lowrider and I, responded as we did(ie: 2 x 12 AWG = 9 AWG). 
Can I use just half the biwire?
What lowrider57 said, +1. There’s no reason, what-so-ever, to let that cabling go to waste.  Just be certain to get the polarities correct. 
Does my amp have enough juice to power my speakers?
@tomic601 - Purportedly, the world’s first all digital, Pop Music vinyl(1979/BTYD). It got A LOT of demo play, in my showroom.  Funny: I just spun it yesterday, and- that’s always been my favorite cut(SO apropos)! It’ll now be a double entendre, t... 
Does my amp have enough juice to power my speakers?
@tomic601 - Actually, I’ve been a High-SPL/Live-Music Universe dweller, in a variety of positions, since a teen. Who would be more conscious of the pitfalls? Still, I’m addicted to the real thing and realism at home. To me, it’s kinda like oxygen.... 
Where to test tubes?
Here's hoping for good results.  You're welcome and happy listening! 
Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period.
@prof- "It seems to have gone unnoticed by you that even from my first post I admitted the possibility that the OP was hearing something objectively changing in the cables. And I admitted your conjecture was interesting, and did not claim it to be... 
Vinyl***What If***
What whart said, +1. Are you anywhere around Indiana? I’d be up for bringing my older/retired vinyl rig(and a few records) over, for a demonstration. 
Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period.
@prof- AGAIN: Your initial question, to aniwolfe, " What do you think is happening within the cable over those 300 hours THAT WOULD ALTER THE SOUND?" That question presupposes that THE SOUND MIGHT BE ALTERED. Why would I have to establish whether ...

These guys are easy to deal with, honest and reliable(from personal experience).   http://tctubes.com/tube-testing-service.aspx 
Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period.
@prof- "I wouldn’t say that, because I’m not as confused as you are about this conversation." I’m not the least bit, "confused". YOU FIRST ASKED(of another), " What do you think is happening within the cable over those 300 hours that would alter t... 
Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period.
@prof-    1) That cable burn-in occurs, has been established by the manufacturers, as well as those multitudes, that have provided their empirical evidence. The, "dispute" is in your mind(et al). 2) The Scientific Process allows for/depends on emp...
