| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @sasho - please use this wire calculator in furure to calculate wire diameter Wire Gause Calculator As yu can see the diameter of the 14 gague wire wil be 1.6277 mm so the inside diameter of the tube should bs around 25% larger, which is 2.034m... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @norco74 and @pindac - gentlemen, thank you for your posts above. They contain excellent information, in that they provide alternate thoughts/products/feedback for other readers to ponder and try out. As I have said many time throughout this thre... | |
| Older Power Cables @joscow - As mentioned above there have been significant improvements metalurgy - e.g. UP-OCC copper - that improve details and dynamics Insulations - low dielectric constant insulations that improve clarity Cable Geometry - lowers noise floo... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @lemonhaze - actually, that ratio is what is posted on my website.👍 If required you could reduce it to 2:1, because unlike interconnects, where the signal and any induced noise would be amplified, making that noise an issue, whereas any induced r... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @abolive - that is correct @lemonhaze - the ratio, 2.5:1, will work well .regards, Steve | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @abolive, double signal wires for sure, but I found doubling the neutral on the single ended RCA cable only made a marginal improvement. For me, the amount of improvement did not justify the additional effort, complexity and expence. If you are ... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @lemonhaze - the 16 gauge signal would be fine, but I would double up on the neutral. The Helix works best if the neutral is a heavier gauge than the signal conductor. or buy some 14 gauge from TFA regards | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @pindac - I took a look at the QED low eddy plug and it is very similar, in priciple, to the KLEI RCA... The neutral contact design is very small the signal contact design is tubular So I believe a low mass style of RCA, like the KLEI RCA, ... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @abolive - I have use the 'V' shape, but I generally tend to solder onto the flat spot. for solid wire I place a small 90 degree turn at the end of the wire and insert that into the 'V' I didn;t find it made any difference, from a sound pe... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @lewinskih01 - looks! Perhaps similar plugs from companies like Furutech use real carbon fiber, bur the plugs I have used simply use a small carbon fiber looking band. The benefit of these plugs is the housing has a more secure cable clamp... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @pindac, what brands confirm to low eddy design RCA plugs? Many Thanks | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @lemonhaze - at no point have I experienced brightness or any other sound changes in my system with the Helix geometry/wires - I did experience more details and improved clarity and improved venue acoustics (i.e. hall reverberations) using silver ... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @lemonhaze, 2 x 18 gauge occ silver is great for source components. I would use 1x14 gauge solid OCC copper for the neutral. The silver plated copper from TFA is not quite as good but very good if you are on a budget The sonarqusest are my first... | |
| AI (Audiogon Intelligence) @mapman - the responses to a question on AG are tempered by peoples personal experience or preferences - not to mention the various tangents people go off on. Factor in Gear combinations, room acoustics etc..and I think the AI response could end ... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @lemonhaze -Apologies for the fragmented response. I still like the following silver plated copper mains connector products - in order of preference... SonarQuest Viborg Vanguard - on Ebay I also like the Carbon fiber look and they clamp b... |
