I am going to try an 8 way Speakon connector for the power connector on my next tube mixer project. I have about 12 amps of heater current so I plan to use four pins for these. I have a 12 way 1.5mm cable to use so I thought of doubling up wires on the heaters. This will us 8 wires and the remaining four will carry HT and phantom. This means fitting two wires into each of the four heater pins. I have tried this with one connector and it just about works. You can get 2 x 1.5mm wires in there and hold them while you tighten the tiny screw. But it is very awkward with a dozen chunky wires to fit and I do not feel confident that the mechanical method will continue to retain the wires. So I was toying with the idea of soldering them in. What experiences do people have of wiring up Speakons?
