| Need recommendations for 20' speaker cable 20 feet is not too long a length for 12 gauge wire. No worries as it will sound great. | |
| Need recommendations for 20' speaker cable Get the Duelund 12 gauge wire. No reason to only consider the cotton version as the Polycast sounds fantastic and costs far less. It is a tad bit warmer and full bodied than the cotton. Very close overall. Here is the link. A set will cost yo... | |
| A few questions about the "Helix Image Interconnects" Like you I ordered 14 gauge by mistake! I like it a little better than the 16 gauge. | |
| A few questions about the "Helix Image Interconnects" I used both as I have built a great number of these. My favorite is two 14 gauge on the outer helix. You are all set! You just need some skills to solder the two 14 gauge wires together at the ends so they fit nicely inside the KLEI barrel. | |
| Burning in newly rebuilt crossover capacitors Timlub is spot on as usual. My findings exactly. More volume is better, but just having a signal is at least 80% of it :) | |
| Hapa Audio How long to burn in Wig? What changes in sound? Thanks. | |
| What about grannyring Helix interconnect cables and Helix power cords? Only had one set remaining and it is gone. Thanks. Bill | |
| Is it safe to use a higher amperage rating fuse? This company makes some good breakers as I have used 3A, 5A, and 10A in amps, preamps and DACs in the past. Tube Research Labs used to use these in their tube amps and preamps. Eaton Heinemann | |
| Is it safe to use a higher amperage rating fuse? Have you tried a nice breaker as an on/off in your builds? If not, you have no idea how much better they sound than a fuse. Some smart builders use them. I use them all the time. I have spend the time and effort to compare. | |
| Is it safe to use a higher amperage rating fuse? I have tested it. No fuse sounds best - bypassed. High end fuse sounds next best. Stock fuse the worst. So simple to hear anyone open minded enough can hear it. Build gear with high quality on/off breakers to avoid the whole fuse sonic bottleneck.... | |
| What about grannyring Helix interconnect cables and Helix power cords? I have two of my personal double helix ICs built as above that may be available in two weeks. Dismantling a second work studio system. If interested just let me know. | |
| Hapa Audio Wig, you seemed to like the Breathe C ICs over your helix builds....,correct? | |
| What about grannyring Helix interconnect cables and Helix power cords? The double helix design with two runs of 18 gauge solid core Neotech copper wire in Teflon on the positive and two runs of 16 gauge silver over copper stranded copper wire in Teflon on the outer helix (negative). KLEI Absolute Harmony plugs. Bes... | |
| Hapa Audio The reviews are from long time trusted and experienced Aphiles known in that audio community. I ordered a set based on the credibility of the posters and looking at the design. I will report back once I have a chance to hear them in my system. | |
| What about grannyring Helix interconnect cables and Helix power cords? Just so you know I never sold these here on the Gon except for a couple of my personal sets that were extra and lying around. Other than that I only made a couple of these cables for audio friends. I am no longer making cables. Never sold Helix po... |
