I bent a big strong paper clip, made it easy to get in/out without a tool.
Weight/strain relief
Hooking up some new speaker cables and I can’t seem to wrangle them to the back of my amp without causing too much strain and/or risking the spade coming off from the weight. Thinking of attaching something to the back of my rack shelf that could act as a weight relief via zip ties or similar. Any ideas on what will work well before I ramble through Home Depot for an hour?
Edit: I was able to find some 1/2” conduit 2-hole clamp which I could screw into the back of the shelf. This holds most of the weight and makes it quite secure

Hopefully your amp is on the bottom shelf. You can use cable risers https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649424376-cable-elevators-set-of-10-black/ |
The important thing is reducing strain without transferring any vibration to cable. Clamps, zipties, etc will convey micro vibration. Find surgical tubing at your local hardware. Suspend this under said cable and connect to something above that position. This rubber/material is strong yet so flabby it dampens any residual interference. I've used it everywhere. Holds up why longer than rubber bands and isolates better than solid lifters. |
