| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @williewonka Can you give examples of components that use Balanced Power Supplies? Any brand names that like to use this? Is it confirmed that Balanced power supplies do not sound good with Helix Powercords or is this just a thought? | |
| What Amp with Sonus Faber Olympica 3? @samzx12 You will not get the most out of those Woofers unless you use a High Current Amp. Tube amps are Volts...not High Current (Watts). An amp like the Pass Labs would be a great choice. But you being a ARC fanboy, it will take A LOT of convinc... | |
| What Amp with Sonus Faber Olympica 3? Simaudio Celeste :PI think I saw a dealer on Audiogon selling a ARC REF 150 in Silver...but the binding posts and screws looked worn with some rust....hopefully the circuit board is in good shape....maybe you can get a good deal and talk him down?... | |

| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @whacky I used a wood rod on a drill and no issues. I put all 3 12 gauge wires on the rod at the same time and coiled it up that way. I used duct tape to hold the 3 wires in place. So much easier and so much time saved. The coil looked much cleaner. | |

| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @mawe I have all 3...Gold, Silver and Rhodium Sonar Quest. I prefer the Rhodium the most in my system. The right amount of detail and more dynamic sound. The Gold will give you a slightly warmer sound and detail will still be present, just not qui... | |

| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling The Duelunds weren't harsh sounding cables...just in comparison to more expensive cables, they were. :) | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Not disagreeing with Grannyring, because cables, rooms and components have to agree with each other.
