| Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking... I would not say there is a loss in bass... the bass has a different quality, less punch but more texture. Also, I have a subwoofer for the bass from 11 to 60 Hz that operates as before.But you are right, I need to optimize the set up stilll. I am ... | |
| Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking... Actually, I did it: hanging the loudspeakers from the ceiling! Before, I used bedrock stands from Mapleshade. Loudspeakers were close to the floor and tilted upwards. Now, they are not tilted anymore and positioned higher, the tweeter is now at 11... | |
| Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking... Hi mahgisterThank you very much for your inspiration. I am following your suggestions. Bought shungite, ataxite, tourmaline, malachite, chrysocolla, Herkimer crystals, and other stones, also copper foil... I used shungite with HD on my SR and on t... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling I have settled on an AC cable design, where I use Duelund silver 3 mm cable for the hot wire (I know with its silk/oil insulation it is not officially approved for high voltage) and 2 runs of Jantzen copper/silver 12 awg runs for neutral and one r... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling I ordered a LessLoss c-Marc power cable and will compare it to my Helix cable (4 runs VH 18g a, neutral and ground with 3 and 2 runs Duelung 16 ga).The LessLoss has implemented a helix geometry at multiple levels, so this will be interesting. | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Hi SteveThank you for posting European alternatives to the MilSpec wire, very much appreciated.I believe you are not alone with your observation that short pieces of different metals inserted to a longer wire change the overall sound. For example,... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @mawe Thank you very much, that is excellent advice. I will get wire from that french site you indicated.I just had an idea - how about using ferrites snugly fitting along the LIVE wires? They could serve dual purposes, removing RFI and keeping th... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Thank you very much for your answers, mawe and Steve. @Steve, actually I got this idea of using opposite helix directions for neutral and ground from you website. http://www.image99.net/blog/files/b4d5249616a56bdabfd28b5580db6cec-79.htmlHowever, ... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Thank you so much for all your work in this matter - I got inspired and decided to join the bandwagon. I will build power chord with Viborg plugs, Chris VenHaus Airlok copper 18ga wire and Duelund 600VA wire.Now, I live in Europe with 230V mains. ... | |
| Duelund RCA interconnects...opinions I have been making the double ic using Duelund's 20awg wire with Duelund connectors using Mundorf silver/gold solder. Very nice sounding cables. I have now received the LessLoss C-Marc RCA cables at 850$ and these are definitively better: more tex... | |
| Used PreAmp around 1000 I thought even with tubes there is no gain. However, it seems one has to take care of the grounding (ground to case connection). | |
| Graphite for shelves, loudspeaker cases? All right, thank you. I was wondering whether I should replace the wooden shelf supporting my turntable with a graphite version. I believe some lacquer would help against the abrasion. Size is 400x450x25 mm, costs are 300 $ | |
| Used PreAmp around 1000 Well, I'll go for the Schiit saga. I do not need balanced. I do not mind coarser volume control compared to the Freya, neither do I need gain (Job225 has already 35 dB). Probably will get that 6SN7 CV-181-TII PSVANE upgrade tube with it | |
| Used PreAmp around 1000 Thank you very much. Wow, looks good! Even two outputs! Ordered. | |
