ANY weight from a Cable plugged in to a connector is going to have an impact on the terminals inside that connector. It is not MY way that i showed you. This is how NASA does all their cabling. Nothing hangs without support. I used to work at the Johnson Space Center and learned a lot about Cabling, Harnessing, Routing etc there. Do what the Hell you want to do. That cable and speaker shown has endured that method since I found out about it in 1981. Never a problem. Didn't yours work fine at the beginning? Now you put another connector inside that may be a bit snug because it is new and physical tolerances may make it a tad larger. Only a matter of time before it fails you again. What if it is the worst possible time?
All you did was apply an extension and added more weight to the inside conductors. Only other thing that changed is the angle!. But go right ahead and do your thing. This your way my way attitude that you all talk about is.................
Speakon Cables do not have that problem with the inside connectors as they lock in and have a physical collar to brace them. However, the entry point where the cable goes in to the speakon can be compromised without proper strain relief etc.
Did anyone here ever do Physics in School?
