| High Capacitance Phono/Tonearm Cables? In general large gauge cables like Purist are the ones that will give you high capacitance. If you are into DIY you can simply choose a high capacitance cable of your choise and solder the plugs. You can also choose, lower capacitance starquad cab... | |
| Pure silver wire: solid, stranded or Litz wire? I am not an expert in metallurgy and I could not argue against someone elses findings regarding OCC silver. However, one silver can be very different in many aspects from another silver. My experience with OCC silver has been very satisfying but ... | |
| Pure silver wire: solid, stranded or Litz wire? Hi Guma15. Although I agree that high capacitance will most probably have negative results, I am afraid that I have to disagree with you on your account of the relation between Litz wire and capacitance. Litz wires are nothing but stranded wires w... | |
| Pure silver wire: solid, stranded or Litz wire? Hi Guma15,No actually I haven't since I was keen on sticking to pure silver so that I can make a more consistent comparison. However, after reading your message I did a small research on the Audio Tekne that (other then the good reviews about them... | |
| Pure silver wire: solid, stranded or Litz wire? Well, some time passed and I did experiment with lots and lots of Litz wires. I bought what I could afford for DIY and borrowed some Litz phono cables whenever possible. Without getting into too much detail, I was slightly disappointed by the resu... | |
| Pure silver wire: solid, stranded or Litz wire? I have just ordered some silver Litz wires by Audio Note at different sizes so next weekend I will attempt to built some interconnects and make a few comparissons. Some interesting information about their silver Litz wires can be found here: http:... | |
| Pure silver wire: solid, stranded or Litz wire? Regarding the enquiry about Tempo-electric. I do respect the fact that they have offered so much information on DIY. Their non-commercial partner (I think) website http://www.laventure.net/tourist/index.html is also a great source of information. ... | |
| Pure silver wire: solid, stranded or Litz wire? Regarding the suggestion about Mundorf's solid silver/gold wires, never tried them but I heard that they are very nice for DIY interconnects (at 0.5mm). The seller who sent me the samle actually sells some interconnects with Mundorf silver but whe... | |
| Pure silver wire: solid, stranded or Litz wire? Hi Rik, Thank you for the crarification. The description of D501 Silver by VDH does not specify that the conductors are litz but since you are the owner of one of them and you say so, this should be the case.What is your opinion on the cable? I ha... | |
| Pure silver wire: solid, stranded or Litz wire? Hi Okkie300, I might be wrong but I think that the VDH D-501 silver has bare stranded conductors and not Litz. The only VDH silver Litz that I know is the very thin wires used for internal tonearm wiring. | |
| Pure silver wire: solid, stranded or Litz wire? Well, I have finished making a very short pair of silver litz interconnect cables. They are 40cm long with a twisted pair of OCC silver Liz conductors of 24AWG. I have created the conductors as described above but with an overall cotton insulation... | |
| Pure silver wire: solid, stranded or Litz wire? Sorry for my mistake Metralla. His ebay name is back25beat10. I confused it with his email address. | |
| Tonearm Cable advice needed I use Cardas 33awg and Cardas 24AWG. Happy with both of them but the 24AWG seems tighter bottom and more authority. Either of them with good quality connectors would not cost you more than $200. | |
| Pure silver wire: solid, stranded or Litz wire? Well, I recently came across an ebay seller (back-promo) who sells handmade silver cables with Litz OCC silver conductors he makes himself. Although he does not supply these wires in bulk he was kind enough to send me a sample and give me its spec... | |
| Which tonearm cable? I am not sure if I would ever go with the option suggested by Stanwal. An entirely unshielded tonearm cable is a big risk (although it may end up performing perfectly fine in certain environments).There are quite a few well made cables on ebay at ... |
