George et al,
When you use those screw-down terminals, are you able to securely grip several wires of differing gauges simultaneously? I have not tried your idea, preferring tack-soldering for a secure connection, because I was concerned that while one wire might be securely clamped, another might pull out. But maybe I should reconsider if it works well for you.

Hi Dmason,
I'm not West End or wevtt , the outfit you are referring to is a licensee of some of my designs and has a storefront on eBay. (No separate website)
My site is: www.kta-hifi.net
I do have all of my old books available through the wonders of lulu.com, but other than some consulting work I do from time to time and the articles I write for PFO I have pretty much ceased all commercial activity.

Multiple wires of similar size have not been a problem (solid or stranded). Multiple stranded wires of different sizes have not been a problem either. A fat stranded wire with several component leads works OK too. A fat solid wire with a thin solid wire can cause the thin one to come loose on some strips.
Look carefully into the end of the strip with the screw tight. Is there room for a wire to get in between the screw and the side of the hole. This is a problem with some surplus strips that I got. This is also why I use the smallest ones that I can find.
