A few questions about the "Helix Image Interconnects"


I ordered VH Audio 18 awg silver wire and  mil spec 16 awg silver plated wire to make a double/ double interconnect for my tube gear.  Unfortunately, I ordered 14 awg for the neutral wire.
Would you:
Order again?
Use the 14 awg as a double/ single?
Use the 14 awg as a double/ double?
Will it even fit in KLEI Absolute Harmony RCA connector?
What is the latest feeling about twisting the naked silver in one teflon tube or two individual tubes?
Thank you so much for this,

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

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

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
