| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @ aniwolfea balanced power conditioner is a kind of isolating Trafo with the addition to create from the one phase inlet (in Europe 230V AC) a symmetrical output of +115V AC and -115V AC. All DC, which could be on the 230V input line is eliminated... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @ markus87I have always connected the “spacer-wire” at the mains plugs side together with the GND wire.If there is a EM field inducted from the “life” conductor to the spacer, this will be fed to ground.Main reasons I do this are, more equal spaci... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @ marcus87living in Europe, I have made my low powered pc's with 2x 16 AWG OCC Neo unstriped like this:Life = 2x 16 AWG OCC Neo in PTFE twisted 1x every inch clockwise.Spacer = 1 x 15 AWG (1,5sqmm) solid core groundwire (green-yellow) from home de... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @ abolive""RE: RCA to XLR...OK - so there is no real great solution for this setup. You can create a cable with RCA at one end and XLR at the other. The Helix geometry is probably one of the better geometries for this because of the lack of noise ... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling BTW,this „skin effect“ together with the insulation material is responsible for high frequency performance of the cables.PVC coated conductors sound more „muffled“ since PVC has a high dielectrics and „ restricts“ or „ interacts“ with the electron... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @divertitithere is more than resistance...electrons travelling on a conductor...there is an effect, called skin effect, which basically means, that higher frequency are manly travelling on the outer surface of a conductor and lower frequency more ... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling XLR ?smooth and cheap - Vampire gold platedhigh resolution and neutral - ETI Kyrocheap but a bit edgy - Neutrik silver platedI‘m not a big fan of 18g for IC cables.There is a reason why all high end cable manufacturers use a multiple of 24gjust my... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @ grannyring - regarding USB cable?I have not fully understood how you build the USB cable. Can you explain a bit in more detail please?The 2 data lines (d+ and d-) habe been twisted together. But how did you do the +5V line? The 3 ground lines (1... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @duffyd,I’m using the ETI pure copper spades with heavy gauge speaker wires.This had been a recommendation from Nick at Hificollective.uk for the Duelund wire.I’m totally happy with these spades, best “sounding” connectors. Better than the hollowe... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @ketchup I think it doesn’t matter as long as your orientation for both (+ & - / grd) is the same.That’s how I do it 👍🏼 | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @ Steve (williewonka) : ?????Your last post:OK - Just did some math on the Neotech 12 gauge wire (Teflon)- Sonic Craft - $7.66 US/foot- Hifi Collective - £4.39+vat/Meterwhere did you see these prices from Hi-Fi Collective???when I look up their pa... | |
| Do pure copper banana plugs make a difference in the quality of the speaker sound. I tried many different connections, but by far the most natural and real sounding speaker cable connector is the ETI Research pure copper spade. I always solder and use Wondersolder with very good results.These ETI bare copper spades are better so... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling My experience in general with cables, but more on ICs than PCs is, that the lower the dielectric of the insulation, the more “open” and “dynamic” it sounds.Could be the reason, why you “hear” more dynamic after replacing the cable with cotton sle... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @ Bruno,an alternative to the Milspec wire would be the Jantzen Audio 2x2,5sqmm or 3x 1,3sqmm copper silverplated PTFE wire, which you can order from audiophonics.fr.There you can order as well the Neotech solid core OCC 18AWG in PTFE. Much more c... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @ Bruno I also live in EU and still think you should use min 2x 18awg for the hot/life and 2x 16awg for the neutral + ground. I use this even for my low power LPS Shanti for my AlloUSBridge Signature. If you’re using a high power amp it could be b... |
