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.
DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
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.
- It takes a little time to load the PDF files - My apologies - but it is FREE
- HyperLinks within the test will not work - my apologies - but it is FREE
- You will see other files in the GitHub interface that were also derived from the Web Site, but they are not formatted correctly - my apologies - but it is FREE
- Please use the files below - they will serve as the new pont of reference going forward
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...
- the content will not be modified and serve as a base level design.
- I have no plans to develop these cables any further, since the materials I identify appear to provide the optimum performance i.e. for my ears
- If you want to run ideas by me then post them here
- if you wish to share your own modifications and benefits then please post them here.
- If you have any questions, then post them here
Below are the sections from the web site that applies to the Helix DIY cable designs
THE HELIX IMAGE Power Cable.pdf
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

@williewonka Thanks |
@nogaps , the first post of this thread contains links to the construction details.. Regards, steve |
@williewonka Thank you! for the reference to this thread. I did quite a bit of searching on this topic when I first ran across your helix design, but, for some reason, my searches (Audiogon & web) didn't hit on this thread. No clue why. This is the info I was looking for. Much appreciated. |
@williewonka did you experiment with parallel conductors? Not necessarily just with packing tape but maybe also other means to keep a defined distance between signal and ground |
