Copper foil

I am using very short (18") copper foil for my speakers. The performance is simply astounding. Rewards including, surprising depth, detail, separation, and extension extremes are beyond expectation.

I gave my ribbons baggy insulation by wrapping the ribbon with Saran Wrap. It has been proven to me dielectrics are the signal's worst enemy.

My ribbon is .003" and 12 gauge. I just unwind what I need from a ribbon inductor.

Excellent, Regalma1.

Mrtennis, I use silver rhodium spades sourced from Home Grown. To start the narrowing of the ends, I gently curve the edges into a U. I snip the last three centimeters into strips for intertwining. The spades have two allen bolts that secure the intwined copper.

My amps have to be carefully guarded against shorts. That is why I use clean spades. Bare ending the copper to the speaker terminals may be advantageous.

Ghosthouse does 2130 H mean anything to you?

This is the easiest DIY in audio. The returns are way and above any justifiable
expectation.

Hey guys, for kicks, try your kitchen drawer aluminum foil for the return leg. Just cut it into wide ribbons. See if you hear a difference. I bet you won't.

I thought your moniker evokes interests in ghosts. Sorry if I was presumptuous.

A major component change is not normally considered a tweak. This particular change is like what LA45 reported. What's cool in it to me is how cheap it is to make this change.

Boy, have I gone daffy. The address to look up is 2131 H. I remembered it wrongly.

I went from solid cord to ribbon. There is no looking back. Dynamics, depth, detail, and separation have never been better.

Dgad, yours is a thoughtful, and educated response. Thank you.

My ribbons dangle in the air. Having never heard them lying on the floor, I will take your word it isn't recommended. I know Speltz warns of the same thing on his almost naked wires.

I had a Tesla on my system for an audition. We were comparing it to a Speltz IC. There was a difference, albeit small. The Tesla either sounded a bit cleaner, or it masked a bit of detail. If we had more time...

I have heard MIT on lots of systems. My prejudice tells me the systems sounded good despite the MITs.
