| Anyone Using Voodoo Infinity Digital Power Cables Take look at Audio Envy or Zavfino - they would likely outperform the Voodoo products Both offer good value for money and great improvements in performance Also, labelling a power cable as "DIGITAL" is utter nonsense. doing that makes people ... | |
| An interesting experience with power cable. @samureyex - what you are experiencing is quite normal because generally speaking... Amps tend to have a more robust power supply capable of handling the dynamics of transient peak audio signals Source components tend to have have a lighter du... | |
| Oxidation on surface of cable under clear jacket I've had this a long time ago and I just tossed them the green is oxidation and it impacts the sound. it's because the insulation becomes porous over time once that happens there is no repairing them Replace them with Audio Envy cables t... | |
| Will increasing speaker cable AWG make a difference in sound quality? Whilst increasing the gauge of the wire invariably changes the sound in some way the original post talks about Improving Sound Quality... Increasing speaker cable size (for example w/AQ the cable sizes move up in size from 15AWG to 10AWG) improv... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Oooops - in my post above I wrote with the KLE Innovations spades you get almost 1 sq cm of contact area That should have been... with the KLE Innovations BANANAS you get almost 1 sq cm of contact area Apologies - Steve š Ā | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @donnylovely - Glad you are enjoying the Helix Speaker Cables RE:... I think I need to move my speakers to get the bass back in the new sound stage. I know what you mean - I had a similar experience. HOWEVER - before you go around moving you... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @tecknikĀ - see below For the live wire youāre stating live wire 2 x 14 solid and neutral wire 1 x 12 stranded. Why not 2 x 14 solid and 4 x the length rather then 2.5 donāt you want more coverage of the live wire. Shouldnāt live and neutral wire... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @tecknikĀ (Steve) - glad to hear the Helix Power cable is proving to be beneficial. You may hear some degraded quality around the 20 hour mark, but then it gets much better by around 50-60 hours For my source components (a Bluesound Node 2i and a... | |

| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @lemonhazeĀ - CCC copper isĀ preferred by some to OCC copper - I believe there is very little between them, so this wire should work well. The dielectric constant of theĀ Polyethylene insulation is comparable to Teflon Polyethylene 2.2... | |
| Are Cardas Parsec cables Overkill for Zen Stream? @lg1 - Audio Envy cables should outperform the Cardas because... they use OCC copper - for crisper dynamics Cardas use OFC they use a better dielectric insulation - for improved clarity Iāve had lots of experience using high perofrma... | |
| Should I upgrade my speaker cables? @mariobeniteziv... First - 1000 watts is the max output of your amp, so unless you are using it to drive speakers in a very large hall I doubt very much that you are coming anywhere close to using 1000 watts of power Second, Classe amps are a hi... | |
