VANTAGE 'CJB' terminal box
There are many combinations of drain wire connection, but start by trying the following combinations:
Initially start with drain wires NOT connected. Keep the spade lug isolated by just loosely wrapping the drain wire around the cable, secure with a cable tie if necessary
******
Then try the second combination after you have had a good listen. In this case CONNECT the left channel drain wire(s) to one of the green terminals. CONNECT the right channel drain wire(s) to one of the other green terminals
At this stage DO NOT CONNECT anything to the green terminal marked with a green dot
******
Again after some extended listening try the third combination. In this case remove one channel of the drain wire(s) and re-connect to the green terminal marked with the green dot
******
Once again after a good listen try the fourth combination. Remove the drain wire(s) from the terminal marked with the green dot and replace on one of the other green terminals as before. CONNECT the supplied long coupling wire to the terminal marked with the green dot and your pre-amp signal ground terminal. CONNECT the supplied short coupling wire between the terminal marked with a green dot and any other terminal
******
Listen when trying these combination for changes in imaging and detail retrieval as well as soundstage width and depth. Do not try too many changes and combinations at once as this will only confuse and lead to a lot of head scratching..! Relax and take your time and make it an enjoyable experience, especially accompanied with a nice glass of wine..!

There is also an optional VANTAGE 'bShield' coupler block available which can further improve cable performance. Please ask your VANTAGE dealer for more information
New VANTAGE cables are given a partial "burn-in" at time of manufacture but will still continue to improve their performance as they "age"
