| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Chris at VH Audio marks the "pull end" of his wire with tape when he cuts a length off. Do you guys usually build your cables with the pull end at the source end of your ICs or do you put it at the other end? Has anyone ever even tested this? C... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling If anyone orders anything from Parts Connexion in Canada, make sure you select something other than USPS. I placed two orders there for some Absolute Harmony RCAs. The first one shipped USPS and I still don't have it 18 days later. A few days l... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Air Filter I see. You could always look in the tube at the outlet of the filter for evidence of moisture, but I have never seen any moisture anywhere in my system. I don't think it's an issue unless you're using high pressure. Even if trace amounts of moi... | |
| Distilled water rinse after ultrasonic cleaning My ultrasonic fluid contains some things other than water, so I definitely want to get all that stuff off. After the US cleaning, I give each record a spin on my Keith Monks-style vacuum machine and do a three part rinse with MFSL Wash, MFSL rins... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Air Filter There's no reason at all to see inside the filter. It won't do anything for you. A loss of pressure will indicate that it's time to change the filter. If you don't have a gauge after the filter, you really should think about getting one. If yo... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Air Filter Motor Guard D-12-2 is what I use. They're much more substantial than the factory filter as they remove moisture, too. The thread is 1/4" npt, so you'll just need to get some barbs from a hardware store to adapt it to your tubing.https://www.am... | |
| New silversmith fidelium cable Has anyone compared these to Goertz cables? They're essentially the same thing. | |
| DAC's Made in the USA Oops, I just noticed that you need an optical input a well as SPDIF. I'm not sure if Gary can add one to his Border Patrol DAC or not. | |

| Audiophile Grade RCA Input Suggestions? I would probably just install normal style RCAs and wire them to the PCB. I have been eying these up:https://www.partsconnexion.com/KLEI-86828.html | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Yes the cotton is smart. 7mm outer diameter works good. 5mm internal diameter. Great, thank you. I'll grab a bunch of extra in case I have to build it up as it will depend on what the ID of my return coil is. | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling I'd like to build a Double Double Helix cable. I'll probably go with 18 awg Airlok for the hot and 16 awg mil spec from TFA for the return. The only thing bothering me is how the hot and return can move in relation to each other. That can't be ... | |
| Squashed(?) LRS This doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. How exactly does the fabric come into contact with the panel during shipping? Does that mean that part of the packaging was pressing against the fabric that was in turn pressing on the panel? That d... | |
| sodium / tungsten / magnesium, aluminum, wire? I believe that lead is toxic so perhaps not a good idea? Most people don't eat their stereo components. | |
| Is Magnepan is coming out with it's own amplifier Not a good idea for a speaker manufacturer to put out their own amp. Other electronics manufacturers will stop recommending their speakers and may even bad mouth them. Acoustat made that mistake and look where it got them. Do you know how lo... |
