| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling UPDATE: - following @wig 's lead, regarding replacing the Mil-Spec neutral with Neotech wire on my power cables, I ordered some 12 gauge stranded Neotech UP-OCC wire, which finally finally arrived yesterday :-)l Without any break-in time there wa... | |
| Where is the weakest link? @jumia - ALL cables are important, not just IC's and speaker cables.But in order to hear the improvements I suggest tackling the cable issue in the following orderSpeaker cablesInterconnectsPower cablesThat way you will be able to hear exactly wh... | |
| Do Banana Plug Adaptors Degrade SQ? I use bananas from KLE Innovations - they are the very best I have found to date and make a noticeable improvements in dynamics, clarity details and image.But they are a little more fragile than most others, so if you cables are heavy (larger than... | |
| Another Node2i Question From what i have been able to gleen from friends and neighbors, if the WIFI router you are using is provided by the cable provider you NEED to get a better wireless router.My neighbors are using "extenders" to get reception all around their house ... | |
| Dazed and confused about streamer upgrade @cosmic_charlie - I have the Node 2i in my system and use the onboard DAC, but I took a very different approach to improving sound quality.I use very good cables i.e. both power and interconnect cables.The resolution of the Node 2i is exceptional ... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @willgolf - WRT the hum you experienced using the Helix Power Cables...Several years ago an acquaintance experienced a serious issue with his amp after installing a high quality power cable. It seemed that the more conventional power cables did no... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @wig ’s observations regarding his upgrade of the Neutral on his power cables got the old grey-matter going - once again...I just happened to have some 12 gauge bare Neotech UP-OCC laying around from one of my previous upgrades, so I decided to us... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @willgolf - You might want to take a look at Inakustik power cables. They are very good.I did converse with @aniwolfe about your Helix problem and I could not think of what might be causing that issue. It remains a mystery.If you are looking for a... | |
| Cartridge for Rega Planar 3? @metin - since the "generally accepted" audio range is 20Hz to 20kHz then the extended output above 20kHz would not be in the audible range of humans.Only young people can hear 17-18 kHz and even 20kHz is beyond their capabilityTannoy has a super ... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @aniwolfe - I had thought about that also. I’m just not "certain" how much benefit will be realized for a wire that costs more than twice the price of the Mil-Spec - would the benefits be marginal?Another more affordable option is he UP-OCC strand... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling So following on @wig 's experience with replacing the Mil-spec wire with the UP-OCC solid copper on his PC's, I decided to try the something similar by replacing the Mil-Spec neutral of my interconnects with a single strand of Neoteech16 gauge UP... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @pindac - I took a look at the details on the PC Triple C Power Cable from Furutech and the granular structure of the copper wire they use (as a result of their "forging process") looks very similar to the granular structure of the copper produ... | |
| Math + Logic + Science = something completely mad... @jerkface - You seem to have misinterpreted my postings somewhere along the way, since I have made NO mention about Skin effect in any of my postsAnd for the record - I do not consider skin effect to be an issue in the audio bandwidth of 20-20kHz.... | |
| Math + Logic + Science = something completely mad... @dietch2 - well I’ve just spent the better part of the last 4 years ACTUALLY TRYING all of the things I have mentioned and in that time I have found that EVERY one of the things I mentioned does actually make for a vastly superior cable - regardle... | |
| A few questions about the "Helix Image Interconnects" @jcny111 (Jeff) - once you have inserted the signal wires into the helix neutral then just tighten the coil around the signal wire by twisting the neutral until the RCA housing fits.It is a bit of a squeeze but I have also used 14 gauge in a doubl... |
