Help me build speaker cables please!
Well, I've already purchased everything for the biwire.. But yeah, I hear you, it would be great to be able to test all these designs. It wouldn't​ be too expensive to do in regular copper, I just lack the time. So, you really think the twisted si...

Wilson Audio Haters
Kosst_amojan - I couldn’t agree more. The room is one of the biggest challenges in audio. It’s hard enough assembling a system that plays well together. But getting the placement and room acoustics right is like naked blindfolded voodoo. And not i...

I'm leaning towards two separate cables, but I'm also drawn to the epicness of the kinky signals with the counter rotating helixes. That just sounds so bad@ss.

Spot on. And your explanation is very clear.. I'll have to think a bit while I wait for the take five box. Thanks for all your input! 
Oh man, I broke my class D amp. Make fun of me. Then help.
Happy to have provided some comic relief. Especially with the outcome!Happy Friday everyone. 
Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs
That’s great to hear! (See what I did there?) It really is quite amazing that these tiny little things actually make a difference.. thanks for starting this thread. I was interested in DIY HFTs, but couldn’t find anything on the web. Then this lov...

Pop albums with an opening overture?
The Gorillaz - Plastic Beach has an opening track appropriately named 'Orchestral Intro'.  
Class D is just Dandy!
So, a lovely resolution and a mystery have presented themselves..My amp, after barely functioning the morning after my screw up, works perfectly now. I put it back in, just to triple check that it is the amp, not the pre, and it's back to normal. ...

Steve - my amp has risen from the dead! And the new ICs sound great! Full story - I was making the helix ICs at 1 am and accidentally soldered the ground to the signal and the signal to the ground. It wasn’t an accidental short in terms of a stay ...

Also profound, on second reading..A miraculous thing has happened. After unplugging and reseating all the connectors to the board then taking out the fuse, checking it for continuity and reinstalling it, I hooked up the amp to double check I didn’...

That was great, Jerry. I actually chuckled out loud!

Jerry - that's good to hear. Your wife sounds like a good one too. Patience and understanding in a marriage are rare, one thing I love about the people on here is they recognize that. I've been on far too many forums where there's plenty of denigr...

Ha! Yeah, I do have the​ pink vinyl. It's the only one they did. You should be able to find their stuff on Bandcamp in a variety of download formats including alac and wav. I love Bandcamp for that.Unfortunately I miswired one of the helix RCAs I ...
