As I'm sure you've noticed Celander, and why you posted this, there is an abundance of lack of regard for others on Audiogon. I have no idea why on a high end audio forum low end, intentionally rude and hurtful interactions are tolerated.My soluti...

Shkong, I went ahead and ordered the silver adapters you recommended. That seemed like the simplest and most straight forward solution. Thank you for the links, and appreciate your assistance.Mike

I did hear back from Magico today. The A3’s do not have an extra hole on the binding post you could a place a second banana plug into, or a bare wire for that matter. So back to square one.I’ll most likely re-terminate one banana plug on each cabl... 
Which courier do you prefer?
UPS has deilvered our packages to various neighbors, putting them in our next door neighbors garage one time when they were on an extended vacation. They leave packages on our lawn, out in the rain, in or around our garage, or in plastic bags tied...

Creekmaster, thanks for offering to send a pic, but I'm good. I emailed Magico asking if they had a similar binding post setup to what you describe, but got no response. I'll just have to wait until the A3's arrive to see if they have the extra ho...

Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers
Thanks Elizabeth. It’s been a long wait since October 3, but I’m excited the day is close at hand. Every time the phone rings I think it’s the shipping company trying to schedule delivery. They’re over a hundred pounds each, so you and Jafant shou...

What to do with my old equipment being replaced?
firstnot, Flame Linears is a similar name I’ve heard applied to them. That amp is the most reliable piece of equipment I’ve ever had. I’m surprised it didn’t burst into flames though when I purchased a Luxman integratd amp to replace it. The Phase...

audiorustty and folkfreak. thanks for your suggestions. They may just solve this problem at zero cost with no rewiring necessary. I’ve yet to receive shipment of the A3’s, so don’t know exactly what the binding posts look like to confirm if I can ...

markalarsen and dill, I purchased them from a guy in California whose been selling on Ebay for five years and has a 100% rating, so I think I’m okay. But you never know. Appreciate your concern.millercarbon, the guys not likely a dealer, so a refu...

I have to disagree with you there Bob. These Rocket 88’s are supposedly brand new in the box. I haven’t received them yet to be sure. It’s my mistake I bought the bi-wires instead of the full range, and I didn’t ask Audioquest for any favors or re...
