| Looking for really fine cables at really low price This is a progress report on the V-Twist wire. The V-Twist is a new DIY interconnect cable designed and distributed by Chris VenHaus of VH Audio. It is a twin lead cable where each conductor is a high purity 24 gauge solid copper wire with Teflon ... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Maxima, I haven't forgotten! I was away for a while so the V-Twist cables are still a way from being fully broken in. I now have a little over 250 hours on them but Chris VH says they need 400 to 500 hours before settling down. Apparently this is ... | |
| where to get schematic for Artemis Lab PH-1 You are certainly welcome. I hope you are successful in getting rid of the hum. | |
| where to get schematic for Artemis Lab PH-1 No Regrets, I sent you an email. Let me know if you have any questions. | |
| where to get schematic for Artemis Lab PH-1 I drew out a schematic back when I had one. I am traveling for a few days but could send it to you in a week after I return. Send me a pm if you still need it by then, and I will scan it. | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Maxima95, the V-Twist only has 60 hours so it's too early to draw conclusions, but so far I like it. A lot! I will report back in another week or two. | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price In re-reading those older posts on Jeff's blog, I noticed that the RCA plugs recommended by Mr. Yazaki-san were actually Canare F-10 plugs. The Switchcraft plugs that came with Jeff's cables were recommended by Jonathan Halpern, not by Yazaki-san.... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Ps,You may be recalling a comment I made on Jeff Day's blog with tips on assembling the Belden cables. See my comment #7 at the link below. It's dated April 18, 2015. Hard to believe it's been that long.http://jeffsplace.me/wordpress/?p=7325#comments | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price I used Switchcraft 3502AAU RCA plugs on the V-Twist so I can do an apples-to-apples comparison to a pair of Belden interconnects which has the same Switchcraft plugs. I also have another pair of Belden interconnects with WBT 0102 Ag plugs. | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price I haven't tried WE as interconnects yet but tonight I wired up a pair of 1M cables using VH Audio V-Twist which is a twin-lead somewhat similar to the Belden 8402 but using modern materials. It also doesn't have a shield. It should make an interes... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price I wonder what "twisting the cable right-handed" means (per Siedy comment above). Wouldn't this change depending on which way you were looking at the cable? | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Mikirob, if YOU had read this thread more carefully, you would know that I am not the one who compared cables to Tara Labs or Siltech. I was quoting the reviewer in Positive Feedback. I have never heard either brand at least not in my system. Than... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Mikirob, it would help if you listed the equipment in your system. This would give some context to your comments. Perhaps you did this earlier in the thread; it's hard to keep track of all the details in a long thread. That's why many of us have p... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price My "new" WE 16g wires (the ones from the 1980s or so) started out as bright and thin, but after a few hours, maybe 5 or 6, became very warm in the lower mids and bass and rather dark and closed in on top. I haven't used them since.The older WE 16g... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price No conclusions on WE yet. Even though my initial reactions were not all that favorable, I bought some more WE 16g "just in case" and those are the wires I am breaking in right now on my video setup. These are older WE cables supposedly from the 19... |
