A few questions about the "Helix Image Interconnects"

Well Jeff from Brooklyn, I'll give it to you straight. It's your design, you will have to tell us how it works out. Even something that seems like a simple design can have complex interactions and mechanical issues. Look at the stuff when you get it and see if it will work for you. 

I used both as I have built a great number of these.  My favorite is two 14 gauge on the outer helix.  You are all set! You just need some skills to solder the two 14 gauge wires together at the ends so they fit nicely inside the KLEI barrel. 

Like you I ordered 14 gauge by mistake! I like it a little better than the  16 gauge. 

@jcny111 (Jeff) - once you have inserted the signal wires into the helix neutral then just tighten the coil around the signal wire by twisting the neutral until the RCA housing fits.

It is a bit of a squeeze but I have also used 14 gauge in a double single approach - for some reason one of my components sound better with the double/single as opposed to the double/double.

But I did not find the 14 gauge provided tangible benefits compared to the same cable with 16 gauge neutral in my system

Strange but true :-)

This is a question for helix image speaker cables, I hope someone can help me.

How can I tell if this the output of an amplifier is symmetrical?

"Helix Speaker Cables should NOT be used with amplifiers employ a Symmetrical, Complimentary, or Balanced outputs."

 

Thank you!

Keep the spirit alive Jeff while you're at it you think it's fun you just have to spend so much more money to realize it's nothing but a waste of money

It means your amplifier has two pairs of 'identical' binding posts connecting to a pair of speakers but obviously the author is not an electrical engineer specialized in cable/wire electronics nor in analog circuits... so ignore
