| DIY Helix Geometry Cabling I hear you @pindac my situation is different. The system IS settled but the current cables are borrowed. I need to find a solution which sounds equal or better than the current one. | |
| Looking for Solid Core Speaker cables @noromance take the speed and smoothness and beauty of your quads and combine it with the oomph and authority of your spendors and you get an idea of the tocaros | |
| DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @williewonka no, they dont. XLR would not be an issue obviously. I'll ask the brain behind the amps and pre-amp what he thinks...maybe there is even a way to add balanced inputs.... | |
| DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Ah, very interesting idea, just the amps around the speakers....hmmm...let me think about that idea ;-) This room, while fantastic and large is however also a living room (with a wife and she does not really like this whole thing...). But yes, I... | |
| Looking for Solid Core Speaker cables Thanks @noromance Do you have experience with Tocaros? | |
| DIY Helix Geometry Cabling I had an idea how to secure all cable runs in my situation using a half round wood moulding and using a router to cut grooves for the strands. Red is signal, black is neutral. Width is 2" and height is 1" | |
| DIY Helix Geometry Cabling thanks @pindac for the links Does only Acoustic Revive offer them? Neither link contains a single wire for DYI. The first AV cable could be separated but not the ideal starting point. | |
| DIY Helix Geometry Cabling thanks much @williewonka I need try-wiring as I am tri-amping my speakers and on top the cables will likely cross a walking path in the living room. I know that sounds crazy.... see here... https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/finally-arrived... | |
| DIY Helix Geometry Cabling ok, I could use something like this to attach/glue the wires with constant spacing of 0.4" https://www.ebay.com/itm/114786508621?_skw=HDPE+Bar+%28Polyetylene%29+Strips+White+.031%22+x+2.0%22+x+25+Ft+Roll&itmmeta=01JWSSGPKP7MKES9MCY45F3SGK&... | |
| DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Thanks much @williewonka you use use a twisted pair for the signal or just one wire? | |
| DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Also, still could not find a source for PC triple C wire.... | |
| DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Thanks much @pindac for referring this thread. @williewonka looks everything extremely interesting. For speaker cables: - Why would you prefer a stranded neutral over solid core? - Do you have a picture of a final speaker cable with two twiste... | |
| Looking for Solid Core Speaker cables Thanks much @pindac very interesting. Where can you buy PC-Triple C wire? Which AWG do you use? Do you use twisted pairs or star-quad or do you even "braid" twisted pairs or just single strands? (Mapleshade seems to use several designs..) | |
| Looking for Solid Core Speaker cables Tocaro 40F (single driver, 98db sensitivity, 40watts at 8 ohm) and Tocaro 50F (3 drivers, hence tri-amping, no crossover, 103dB sensitivity and 3x 40watt at 8ohm) They are the informal heirs of the (in)famous Rehdeko, which in my mind where a st... | |
| Looking for Solid Core Speaker cables Solid state, but again super high efficiency speakers, so while the amps have plenty of reserves, typically I would stay within one watt.... DNM has two cables, one is ~16awg and one is ~18awg. Only one conductor. So 2x20awg could work .... howev... |
