@total111 , you can go up to 30ft with a single ended RCA cable.
The Helix would work well up to 30ft, but challenging to build

Apologies for the delay, but it’s been very difficult to find a FREE platform to host the Helix DIY AIR Cable content that works with minimal hassle.
The cost of running the original web site was getting expensive, so I had to pull the plug on it
The new content detailed below consists of a series of PDF files that are derived from the web site content.
A special Thanks to Mikhail for hosting the PDF files on GitHub - very much appreciated
Please feel free to copy the PDF files for your own use or distribute to others - OR - you can just access the content from the links below.
Going forward...
Below are the sections from the web site that applies to the Helix DIY cable designs

The HELIX IMAGE Interconnect RCA and XLR.pdf
The HELIX IMAGE Speaker Cable.pdf
Cable Science - Some Basics.pdf
The Significance of Cable Architectures.pdf
Hope this provides the information that people were looking for

My own personal take on such a interest, it to tread carefully and attempt to see what a system will look like down the line. I was very eager to purchase the basics in an ample quantity to do what I needed for producing Helix Design Cables. A hold off on the Cable Production and taking stock, showed the eagerness was a little too early. The Amp's being Single Ended were under discussion in a previous period to be changed to Balanced. The Room with Audio Equipment is not to be permanent, and the same layout will not be in place if I remain in the Home with the main audio system. A New Space to be created outside of the home, is looking likely to become the Audio Room/Entertainment Room. Today, the Amp's are Balanced, another Valve Power Amp is also in use as well, a selection of Speakers has materialised and the Planning for the changes to the home are close to being approved by the local authorities. If I were to produce Cables under eagerness to solely experience them in use, as a comparison to Cables already proven to be improved over other options used, I will have ended up with a selection of Cables that might not be usable as a Length in the upcoming set up for the audio system. Another important personal lesson learned over time, especially as a result of doing a fair amount of time doing investigation and follow up comparisons is that: "Comparison is the thief of joy" With the Outcome being only a little extra is a possible end result to be attained. I have over recent years, once the A/B Comparisons are done, encourages a slightly longer period of replays of an Album as the parameter for the A/B. The Outcome is nearly always the same, where the listener after having listened to the Album for a extra period of time, does not show too much care if the alternate is set up to be replayed. The extended listening allows one to relax and enjoy, why change that. Whether a Bass Note decays speedier or a Vocal has a little less sibilance is not a concern raised. Usually comments made are quite different, such as, "I forgot this Track was on this Album, it is a great Track". |
I hear you @pindac my situation is different. The system IS settled but the current cables are borrowed. I need to find a solution which sounds equal or better than the current one. |
