Hi Group,

I am putting together a fairly big amp (4CX3000A) and I've gotten to 
the question 'What is a good way to connect to the terminals of the 
vacuum output relay?'  I'll use big coax up to within an inch or so of 
the relay, but then....?  Copper ribbon (1/8" or so) and the flexible 
shield taken from RG174 or similar have come to mind.  I'm 
concerned with reliability and noise.

What have you used, and how did you like it?

TIA ES VY 73,
