| Vibration isolation or absorption? absolute mechanical isolation and decoupling cannot exist in the presence of gravity You throw this out there to further your self-serving post, intimating that because absolute decoupling is impossible, your way is the only way. Absolute deco... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @williewonka, I will heed your advice, add the extra signal wire and allow it to accumulate some hours before doing anything else. I think that the single strand of wire should not take as long to settle down as the full build did. Yes the OCC i... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @pindac, yes the CCC wire is impressive as is the OCC Ag. As most of us realise systems differ and mine which is border line over-analytical requires, I think a mix of these two types. I will modify the 'skinny' IC and allow many more hours play... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @williewonka, hey Steve I'm glad you responded to this confirming my doubt about Cu. and Ag. in parallel. The 20 AWG and 24AWG Ag. I have are all P/Connex solid bare and if I add the #20 to the mix will result in about 17.5AWG. As the interconne... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Yes, I agree. At the price of silver wire I will not be making premature decisions. The first helix I built was with PC Triple C Cu. which I left in its insulation and has had now about 220 hrs. It appears to have stabilised but will not disturb i... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Hi guys, I have just received an email back from Stephanie at Parts Connexion that the 14AWG bare Connex solid Cu. wire is out of stock and that the business that supplies it has closed down !&^%# Any ideas for a substitute? I have 70 hrs pl... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @toolbox149, I am hearing what you described and believe it or not, after last nights session, considered adding a third 24AWG AG strand which would end up about 19AWG and easy enough to do. Steve has tried, I think, 4 strands in parallel and c... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @williewonka, Some kit arrived earlier than expected, for a change, so I made up an IC using 2 x 24AWG solid AG in separate ptfe tubes with SOCT-18 for a 3.5:1 neutral with KLE Absolutes. My previous build used the twin 19AWG CCC that pindac int... | |
| Absorption, Diffusion or a combination of it all? I see advice all over the map here yet nobody condsiders the size of the room? It's not one size fits all! OP, diffusion is great but unfortunately not of much use in a small room simply because you need to be seated a minimum distance away for t... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @pindac, thanks for bringing the CCC cable to our attention. It's the best IC in my collection by far. Will be able to compare it to the proven IC recipe in about 10 days or so. | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @williewonka, many obstacles and delay when ordering from UK or Europe. Strikes and protests severely disrupting my cable building exercise. A word of caution against using dienadel.de for components. Fighting to get a refund after returning some ... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @williewonka, I have abandoned the idea of using the Furutech cable for neutral. After stripping back enough of the two sheaths to expose the 3 inner wires I found that they would definitely not hold their shape 🙄 I am shopping for price which is... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @williewonka, Thanks for the prompt reply. Yes this will be the start of my Helix journey. Giving more thought to this I will now build 3 interconnects. One for digital as per your 'Ultimate' recipe and two for analogue, both using solid silver... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @williewonka, Hi Steve, I have some parts ordered and about to order the bare solid silver which is fairly pricey. Have you any experience using the next size thinner? I am considering using 22AWG instead of the 20AWG for signal that you recommen... | |
| Looking For 18awg Audiophile Power Cable Options Hey OP, what you describe does not make much sense. Sounds like you may need some mains clean up and there are many products that will help. You are under the mistaken impression that heavier/ thicker cables will swamp the system with massive amou... |
