| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @williewonka Steve, just a comment on your proposal for power cords: According safety regulations in Europe you need to have the ground wire minimum the same size as the “life” and “neutral “ conductors. Something you might have to mention ... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling I support Steve's statements. Anything longer than 2m use XLR. Find out, if your components both sides are fully balanced internally and not using a chip to only convert input/output signal from single ended to balanced. However, I never experi... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @ ghettocowboymy favourite XLR plugs are in order of performance:Neutrik silver plated (better resolution than gold plated, best price/performance ratio)Vampire Gold plated ( if you prefer the warmer sound of gold plated, approx $12/pcs at soniccr... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @ williewonka & tennesseejedjust my understanding of purity of wires:xN - x equals number of N (nines)4N - 99.99%5N - 99.999%6N - 99.9999%May be I‘m wrong, then let me know.so the silver wire with .999 is a 5N silver.But I have compared 6N cop... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @ divertiti I have done the „outer“ coil as „airadotption“ using a 6mm Teflon tube on a 1.5sqmm wire on some power cords.For further protection I did use an additional 10mm PVC tube over the Teflon tube, (PC at 230V).It was easy to slide the wire ... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @ Steve,thx for your thoughts.I was surprised about the positive effect of the “shielded L” conductor, since the LPS only draws approx 60mA at 230VAC. This is a low current load on 2x 16 AWG wires and the induced EMI should be low. I would expect,... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Update on making a helix power cord:Wonder, if someone has done it and if so, what is your experience?What I did today:A 1m long 230V power cord tested on my DIY linear power supply for my streamer and DAC, which delivers 12VDC and 5VDC. The DAC u... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @ provstAre you using solid core or stranded wire from Neotech for the ground wires?yes, solid core. | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @ provst reg VH Audio balanced IChttp//www.venhaus1.com/diysilverinterconnects.html basically it is the above linked design.I use to buy a 6 mm twisted robe from home depot which consists of min 3 smaller robes twisted together. (1€/m). I than cov... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @ provst few comments to your topics:1.) PCs 230V AC I found no difference for neutral using 2x 1,3sqmm or 1x 2,5sqmm Jantzen wire.Be aware, being in 230V country, the PE (Ground-) wire must be minimum the size of the L/N conductors. With the doub... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @ willgolf your hum , it seams to me like you have a DC voltage on your mains, or picking up some sort of RFI or EMI.And it could be, that the helix design does not filter any. A power cord that does a kind of filtering could be a multi wire cable... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling SteveI think no 3. you meant UP-OFC ?? | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling In addition to my post above:With a „normal“ 230V AC power line the „life“+ is carrying +230V and „neutral“- is 0V. The outlet of a balanced power conditioner has +115VAC on „life“ and -115VAC on „neutral“ conductor.Therefore both conductor should... |
