If you haven't seen the August issue yet, take my advice and, when you get it, turn immediately to page 55 and be prepared to enjoy yourself. Jeff Wong, whose writing is good is at his best when he draws and paints. Great stuff, Jeff, and the caricatures of the editorial staff are priceless.

If the decision were mine, I wouldn't wait until the next show to provide an excuse, I'd think of ways to get some of Jeff's art into the mag as frequently as he was willing to provide it.

Jan, excellent clear instructions that you put together in the thread you link.

Have you tried other gauges of magnet wire? Any reason why not? It occurs to me that the little bit thicker versions would have the same expected benefits of 30 AWG but would be a tad bit more sturdy.

Your enthusiasm is making me want to try the magnet wire version with solderless RCA's. Maybe they would be better sounding than the 100% silver thin wire interconnects I made. Only about $10.00 to try.

Cool drawings Jeff. I like the one like the last supper, with all the holy men lined up at the table. Drawings remind me of the MAD MAgazine look. Neat, good job.
