Help me build speaker cables please!
Just looked at the pics you posted - that’s great - to loose helix you’ve used will prevent any noise interference and the counter rotation looks as though it will prevent contamination between the neutrals very well I think they look great and sh... 
Help me build speaker cables please!
@toddverrone - that's great to hear - awsome!RE:... One thing that I keep thinking about in regards to the signal.. if it was one run of cable, wouldn’t the worries over noise be the same? Or would that not be an issue because it’s full signa... 
Help me build speaker cables please!
@toddverrone - re... So, you really think the twisted signals and combined neutrals could contaminate one another, even though they’re carrying the same signal? Well let me explain my thinking...- the voltage applied to the two sets of terminals ...

@toddverrone - "Bad-Ass" - I likes it! Maybe I’ll post a new cable on my blog - "The Bad-Ass Helix" (LOL)If it were me, the decision would be down to - bi-wiring or bi-amp-ing?For the former... - I would elect for the simple approach and forget ab...

@toddverrone - re... I’ll twist the signals together I am assuming you are twisting the two bi-wire signal conductors - one 12 gauge (for LF) and one 14 gauge (for HF) and then wrapping two sets of neutral conductors around the twisted signals?P... 
Help me build speaker cables please!
@toddverrone - that’s very interesting - sounds as though pushing the signal onto the neutral rail of the amp caused some issue - normally it only causes an out of phase condition - i.e. bad image and poor bass.Anyhow, glad to hear nothing in the ... 
Help me build speaker cables please!
@toddverrone  - Ouch! - how did incorrect wiring  an IC kill your amp?That's interesting - did it short the input to the amp ? most amps can handle that. Unless you shorted the pre-amp output?Also, doesn't sound as though you were using a Harmon... 
High Output MC Cartridge recommendations?
Why not send your existing cartridge into Soundsmith and have them replace the cantilever?I had a Denon DL103 which I liked a lot and heard about the Soundsmith option. I actually bought a new DL103 from them that had the ruby cantilever treatment... 
Low-voltage wiring
@John_g - unfortunately power cables on low voltage devices seldom get the "treatment" their power supplies deserve and I have in the past replaced those skinny little wires with something more appropriate with great results.I’ve since replaced th...

Moon neo 310lp combined AT art 9
Ooops - forgot to answer your question - what will the differences be?Other than the enhanced settings you will likely experience a larger image, deeper bass with improved bass control, improved clarity.But it all depends on your cartridge. Good l... 
I would like to get into Turntables but ......... HELP!
RSA - I would recommend the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC Esprit SB http://www.needledoctor.com/Pro-Ject-Debut-Carbon-Esprit-DC-Black_5?sc=2&category=352For the money you get some advanced technology like the acrylic platter and the DC motor - the ... 
Moon neo 310lp combined AT art 9
P.S I just noticed there is also the 320S power supply for the 310,But as stated above - with a good power cord the 310 performs extremely well and there is no second box to take up additional roomRegards... 
Moon neo 310lp combined AT art 9
I have the Simaudio MOON LP5.3 RS Phono Stage and it is superb. The 310 looks identical (internally) from the photos I’ve looked atThe card in the 350p shares the power supply - the 310 has it’s own excellent power on-board supply and the circuitr...
