RE: Tangram Le' Journey Continues...

Thank you. You nailed the main goal of Acme. Offer a decent product at a reasonable price. I was offended by the outrageous prices being charged by many manufactures.
A bit more info. I had access back then to a friends testing device that could tell the plating thickness and composition. One of the many things I found was the nickel plating on the commercial products I used was altered by the use of plating baths contaminated by what we guessed was extremely high use of the baths. The analyzer often called it stainless steel rather than nickel. Eliminating that from parts alone made a noticeable improvement . Also plating thickness of silver at least 200 u inch was important. 300 or greater even better. Some of the stuff we measured was less that 50 on supposed audiophile connectors.
Keep up your positive contributions.
