| DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @pindac , you are welcome. I hope more DIYers get to know the benefits of the Heilx geometry. Its not perfect, but it's a lot better than most others Thanks for your support :-) | |
| DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @gregm , never tried it Any differences would probably be due to Increased cross sectional area Increased dielectric impact of the larger surface area of square wire I would not use it because of this Regards | |
| DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @total111 , paper is better from a dielectric perspective. But that tape should be OK . | |
| DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @total111 , i use a twisted pair of wires for the signal and a larger gauge for the neutral e.g. 2 x 17 gauge solid wire for the signal = 14 gauge 1 x 12 gauge solid wire for the neutral OR 1 x 10 gauge stranded wire for the neutral Regards | |
| DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @total111 - the answers to your question... i preferred the sound of the silver plated stranded copper for speaker cables. Using OCC as the neutral sounded too clinical 20 and 14 ft is too long for the Helix design. I did make a 12ft cable onc... | |

| Powered Speaker Approach @gdaddy1 , you are correct, they lack the really deep bass from about 45 hz, down to 20 hz, but everything down to 45-50hz is very detailed. But they don’t rattle the china I played Peter Gabriel’s So and was amazed by the bass ability of these... | |
| Powered Speaker Approach A couple of things I forgot to mention in my post above... while these speakers are manufactured in China (what isn't these days), they are designed, engineered and quality controlled right here in Canada as well as having a master volume cont... | |
| Im going to regret my cable question @neversatisfied - Take a look at Zavfino cables. Excellent performance at a reasonable cost Regards, Steve | |
| New to Turntables @shelly40, I would opt for the Music Hall, because I prefer the sound of hefty plinth designs and their other design features are exceptional also I can highly recommend Simmaudio Moon phono stages, they are exceptional and configurable to most a... | |
| And the biggest influence on sound quality is... So my system had reasonable components and cables and I had albums that sounded very good and others that sounded less than stellar. Some pressings sounded well engineered and pressed whilst others seemed to lack the same amount of finesse. I em... | |
