| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? That does sound interesting. I can’t really picture it in my mind’s eye though. @playpen you’ll have to post the pics on your system page and let us know. There’s no way to put pics in these discussions.Also, if you added weight, that would be dam... | |
| Help me build speaker cables please! @williewonka I bought the materials to make some silver helix ICs. Pure Harmony and solid silver with the OCC copper that @steakster posted for the neutral. I'm excited!Did you open up the helix at all after you wound it on the fiberglass dowel? I... | |
| Help me build speaker cables please! @williewonka you like them enough to get rid of the gZero?! Man, I need to build mine! The neutral came in the mail yesterday. | |
| Speaker jumpers At the least I would use the same cables as your speaker cables, just buy an extra length or cut some off the ends of your current cables. Anything fancier doesn't seem like it would offer a benefit. I did notice an improvement when I replaced my ... | |
| Help me build speaker cables please! Just took another look at signal cables.. they actually look like very good cables, especially for the money. I'm sure you've seen that their silver cables are half stranded silver and half stranded copper, I believe the idea is to help keep the s... | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... Maybe different gods will provide different sound.. dedicate your PC to Mars for powerful, fast, aggressive sound. Venus will provide lush, sweet sound. Avalokiteshvara will provide the sound you need to hear, not what you want. The judeo-christia... | |
| Help me build speaker cables please! Still waiting for wire. I'm going to experiment without connectors at first, then add them once I've settled on a design. Once my neutrals burn in I can listen to each iteration without waiting for burn in since I'll be using an older set of cat 5... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! One thing I do not agree with Putzeys on is that reality is logical. Reality IS. We can understand it logically, emotionally, sexually, spiritually, intuitively.. or, hopefully, all of the above and more. | |
| Help me build speaker cables please! @tsugury that's funny. That was one of the first articles I read on DIY speaker cables when I first started making them about a year ago... Never tried them though. I doubt that same extension cord is still available. I like fancier designs anyway... | |
| Help me build speaker cables please! Interesting. With all the cables I've built, the most challenging and fun part is figuring out how to finish them so they look good, are sturdy, and the geometry isn't compromised.I ordered 50' of 12awg silver plated copper in Teflon. I am going t... | |
| Help me build speaker cables please! Steve - great minds! My current cat 5 speaker cables are terminated with those exact same bananas. I bought some copper crimp sleeves from Lowes to put over the bananas, as I prefer a crimp connection to a solder when dealing with many individuall... | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... @nonoise , @schubert thank you. Being the reasonable one can be lonely. | |
| Help me build speaker cables please! I was thinking of actually doing the math and calculating how much neutral I'll need. I'll be assuming a radius of 1" for the helix.. and yeah, I was thinking of just make jumpers out of whatever wire I end up using in the end, since biwire is not... | |
| Help me build speaker cables please! My helix PCs are all 6', so I'm not worried. With regards to the neutral, you've suggested it's not necessary to wind it as closely spaced as for the PC. What do you think, 4 wraps per foot? Or shall I space them closer, like every inch?Thanks for... | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... @shadorne "Yup. For example, the whole global warming scare has demonized CO2 from what it actually is - a totally harmless trace gas and extremely minor infra-red absorber of which projected increases will only help green the planet at an absolut... |
