What is the absolute best interconnects? i am using pure copper connections right now. But i have Tsunami brass terminals that are nickle coated that i could use. and also i am using normal 250 amp anl fuses on a brass block that's nickle coated. am i hurting my self enough to see any kind of DB gain or voltage drop?

Also using a pure copper stock distribution block i made myself with steel bolts holding the copper terminals to the copper distribution block. Steel bolts hurting me? need copper bolts?

I thought about scraping the distribution blocks and just making copper ones but you think its hurting me that much?

good luck finding copper bolts...without having them custom machined.

I don't think you would ever see a difference. from brass to copper or even aluminum. Unless you had enough money to run pure platinum thick enough I doubt you'd ever see a difference.

Best interconnects--look at Kimber Kable, MIT, Audioquest.

There are more out there, but the price tag on those should scare you enough.

I also doubt you will notice a difference in your SPL between them and what you are currently using.
