| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Double is always better. Double on both positive and helix. It just is. Is it day and night better? No. Just a tad better and if you want the most out of your build, then go for it! If you are going through the work and effort, then make it the be... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling That’s what I did! Thanks for be more precise Steve. | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling The helix ground on your xlr is never a twisted pair, but always a coiled helix. It is not a huge sonic degrade if you just use one conductor as the helix. However, two sound a tad better. If using two wires on the helix, then just coil them up si... | |
| Who makes super quiet XLRs around $1k? It’s all about how the cable is shielded without hurting the sound. Most shielding closes in the sound even though it makes for less noise. Shielding is there to reduce noise and make a cable “quiet”. The quietest cable one can hear, based on my e... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @divertiti, The idea here is to build two individual XLR cables into one. If you do that, then this is the build. * Two twisted pairs with each individual twisted pair going to pins 2 and 3. Be careful not to mix up the wires when soldering to pin... | |
| Lifetime of Auricap capacitors ? I have your answer, but cannot share based on the truth of how those other realities matter as much as your need for an answer. | |
| If Steve Got You Last Week... Thanks Pete! | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Yes the cotton is smart. 7mm outer diameter works good. 5mm internal diameter. | |
| Uptone EtherRegen I can see why. It does increase the apparent amount of detail and inner detail of your system. Brings you closer into the recording and performers for sure. Will you and your system like this? Depends as usual. | |
| If Steve Got You Last Week... Thanks Facten! | |
| Uptone EtherRegen Will do! I use SABLON and SOTM ethernet cables. | |
| Uptone EtherRegen Update. I unboxed my Regen which was headed back to give it another try. I changed the power cord in it, plugged it into a conditioner, and changed the order of various ethernet csbles I have. I like the sound better now and will give it more da... | |
| If Steve Got You Last Week... I have a Mojo Audio Evo dac and only need a transport. The Mojo is wonderful sounding using the usb input. Comes down to one’s system as to wether streaming or cd will sound the same, better, worse etc... No universal best as in anything audio. A... | |
| If Steve Got You Last Week... What transports are you CD spinners using that sounds better than a great server? Love to know. My PS Audio memory player did not sound as good as my Innuos Zenith 3 with mods and several other ethernet tweaks and gadgets. I guess it would depend... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Agree that all silver VH is too much in a system. I like it as the digital source cable only, USB or SPDIF etc...I have always liked Neotech silver/gold stranded and would love to try the solid core in Teflon. |
