| Speaker Cable Suggestions @ - walnut - KLE Innovations gZero6 - best bang for the buck - even in their stableI have not found anything better to dateSee http://image99.net/blog/files/category-klei-gzero6-sc.htmlRegards - Steve | |
| Help me build speaker cables please! @toddverrone - for IC’s I use a ratio of 3.0 times the length of the signal wire.For the latest Power cable I increased that to 2.6 because I used a smaller gauge (14) neutral conductor and wanted maximum coverage to maximize the screening ability... | |
| Help me build speaker cables please! Todd - I was so pleased with the performance of a single run of the gZero2's on my Bi-wired Tannoys that I just put quality jumpers made from a similar gauge/type wire as the cable,s at the speaker endI'm guessing, but I think the Helix cables (us... | |
| Help me build speaker cables please! Todd, 6.5ft is pretty manageable with the helix geometry.It starts to get cumbersome around 8 ft. You just need a long room or hallway to keep the conducts from tangling.Regards | |
| What are you using to rip your cds to a hard drive? Kenrus - No need for a fancy new disk drive - the one in the PC is perfectly fine. After all it transfers data for large companies, so it's good enough for me :-)The drives in the various "vaults" are no different - but some like to believe they a... | |
| Help me build speaker cables please! Todd, that sounds like a very good plan. The CAT5 is a known entity for you and will let you hear the benefits of the Helix geometry. Replacing the signal cable at a later date will build on what is hopefully a very good speaker cable.This is very... | |
| Help me build speaker cables please! Todd - take a look at these conductors from DH Labshttp://www.silversonic.com/docs/products/hookup.htmlI like DH Labs wire a lot, as you know - best bang for the buck in my booksBTW the pricing on the AG- wires is incorrect - the price on their we... | |
| Power Cables and Power Conditioner @John_G - re: What are "MRI outlets"? Does it make a difference to have them in at every point on the circuit, or just where the audio equipment is plugged in? MRI Outlets are a step up from Hospital grade outlets - they have superior clamping an... | |
| Help me build speaker cables please! Todd - I have not "dismantled" either gzero2 or 6 cables, but the visible part of the gZero6 leads has two conductors twisted tightly together for the neutral - the signal conductors looked identical. The individual neutral conductors may have bee... | |
| Help me build speaker cables please! Todd - I know exactly where you are coming from - I was that way too - up until quite recently :-) I used to have 10 gauge Van den Hul D352 silver plated copper that I thought were terrific.Never found anything to better them. I started with VDH 1... | |
| Help me build speaker cables please! Todd - Without getting into the design specifics of your amps,,,From the web... Can I get a shock from the speaker connections on my Amp?YES! Amplifiers in the 400 plus watt per channel range are not uncommon today. Such an amplifier will put out... | |
| Proac Rake angle? +1 for Jperry's comment above - jumper bars are probably the worst thing to use - I always use speaker wire the same as the speaker cables.If you have store bought cables then get some quality wire from a company like Van den Hul or DH Labs. They ... | |
| Help me build speaker cables please! Todd - an 18 gauge twin lead mains cable is rated to handle 10 amps at mains voltagesee http://www.stayonline.com/reference-circuit-ampacity.aspxAnd - that is continuous power - it can handle much higher transient spikes - and music is just a seri... | |
| Power cable Luvrockin...RE: The other question is if I replaced the Furman power cable, is it necessary to replace and cords coming out of the Furman? Thoughts??? The answer is - replace all of your power cords, but the cable into the Furman can be the last ... |
