| 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... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @pindac, thanks for the Monosaudio suggestion but unfortunately their BNC connectors are multi-plated which I am trying to avoid. They claim: 4 Layer Plated Process : 1. Oxygen Free Copper Plated 2. Silver Plated 3. Palladium Plated 4. Rhodiu... | |
| Under my tower speakers -- Isoacoustics Gaia, other options? @hilde45, if you do get the Towshend units please share your findings here. @tonywinga, I ordered a set of nobsound to compare with IsoAcoustics Oreas I have had in place under my Wadia DAC and an Oppo for a year, so am now familiar with the e... | |
| Under my tower speakers -- Isoacoustics Gaia, other options? @tonywinga, good post. May I ask what you use under your components and speakers. I'm hoping you'll say rubber pads that cost $1 each on amazon 😀 | |
| Under my tower speakers -- Isoacoustics Gaia, other options? @hilde45, Hey OP: "Beyond that, the audiophile world has been misled as to their purpose" Yes because as in most areas of commerce where there is a buck to be made it's climb on the bandwagon. I understand your reluctance to spend on som... | |
| Under my tower speakers -- Isoacoustics Gaia, other options? @OP, you've been around long enough to know that everything matters. This includes vibration. The link below should be required reading for anyone after good sound. This article is informative and debunks all the hooha about spikes. A novice read... | |
| diffuser or absorption panels, which would you choose? As you see, lots of contradictory advice making a basic understanding difficult to grasp. The solution is to educate yourself by reading the science and then proceed with some confidence. It is a science but you can start by addressing the most i... |
