  I have built a few Bottlehead products over the years, and I always want to put a little 'stamp' on my work making it stand out in some way. This time around, I have thought of buying some decent square shaped wire for the ground bus. Trouble is, no one seems to have any around. What I do find is craft or jewelry wire, that I doubt is the best choice for electrical applications. Is there a source out there for square or even flat conductors?

I bought some from tubes and more at one point.

  Thanks. Even after a search, the closest that I got was small buss bar copper. I will give your advice a try.

I, too, have been giving the ground bus some thought.
I want to make the circuit a true star-ground using one.
I will be following your journey - keep us posted.

 Veery nice.  Thanks a lot, and it's not priced in the stratosphere.
