| My First DIY Power Cable I have a little experience with Viborg and it's not good. I know we're talking about power cords here, but this says a lot about the company. https://www.audioasylum.com/cgi/t.mpl?f=cables&m=181633 | |
| Listening impressions of two tonearm wires I don’t trust my soldering skills with AN wire… @lohanimal It’s really not that bad once you figure it out. A good soldering iron like a Hakko FX-888D will help. To tin it, melt a blob of solder on your soldering iron tip (I used the smallest I... | |
| KLE RCA plugs are the real deal!! How would you know if you bought a higher end model and got a lesser one? @brad1138 They all have different colored writing in the plugs. | |
| TONEARM REWIREE - DUMB QUESTION I am advised that the Kabusa wire is without doubt the most flexible. That stuff looks pretty good in terms of flexibility, but check out Audio Note AN-WIRE-300. It’s made from three strands of 0.0019" thick silver wire (half the thickness of t... | |
| TONEARM REWIREE - DUMB QUESTION You don't have to, but it probably depends. I just made a 2.9' long pair from cartridge clips to phono pre RCAs out of Audio Note AN-WIRE-300. The pairs were not twisted and I did not use any shielding and I only have the slightest hum if I cran... | |
| Why are people paying these stupid tube prices? We need American tubes. Any word on new production? Western Electric just started thinking about making something other than 300Bs, but we're probably years away from actual production. | |
| Why are people paying these stupid tube prices? It's not my fault that your single sentence post did not make sense and was riddled with grammatical errors. I mean, the second post was simply a question mark, so I'm not the only one. Try to make more coherent posts next time. But thanks for ... | |
| Why are people paying these stupid tube prices? There are reputable dealers that have had only modest increases Really? Who is selling KT120s between $50-100 each? I would love to know. | |
| Why are people paying these stupid tube prices? @music_is_life your post doesn't make sense. Did you pay $139 or $350 each? And then there's your question "why are people paying these stupid prices?" Perhaps you should ask yourself? | |
| Duelund/Mundorf Ultra Loudspeaker Purifiers Can these be burned in quickly on a cable cooker instead? | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling That's pretty much what I settled on, although I added a little time due to the gauge of the double/double. While building these cables, which is about the 4th set of cables I have made using KLE RCAs, I finally found a pretty good method of term... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Thanks again @williewonka. How long do these like to cook? | |
| Many higher end preamps are dated and ugly, why is this? Dated and ugly? I think you might mean simplistic with no frills, which I am just fine with. If Schiit is "pretty" to you, I have to seriously question your taste. | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Has anyone experimented with the distance between the signal wires and the coil for ICs? I just made a pair of double/double ICs, and with one layer of cotton sleeve around the signal wires, it's very tight in the coil. There is no movement what... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Thanks, @williewonka. This double/double helix cable will replace the IC between my DAC and preamp. The current cable is made from a twisted pair of Duelund DCA16GA and Pure Harmonies. The double/double helix will use Absolute Harmonies. I hop... |
