| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @jambajAs I said in one of the posts above, Unfortunately, component designers can push their designs very close to a "limit" to squeeze out every ounce of performancethey do not know what components and cables you will be using with their produc... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @jambaj - It’s likely the problem would have occurred at some point in time, even with the Morrow Power Cable because it sounds like the tube was on the brink of failingTubes can be problematic at the best of times, especially when used in designs... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @jambaj - since...the sound is still there even with the Morrow PC AND since it appears to be intermittent AND since changing the tubes did not fix the noiseI am starting to think that some other internal component, like a capacitor, is starting t... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Here's a video of one of the tube related issues Two Types of Tube Amplifier Hum and How to Determine the Source - YouTube Regards | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @jambaj I have read about (and observed on YouTube) noises (i.e. hum) that do not change volume when the volume control is adjusted on tube gear. It can be due to the design of a specific brand of tube.It is related to the actual "design" of the p... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling UPDATE: regarding Balanced Symetrical AmplifiersA few weeks ago I posted some updates to my web site identifying some amps that would not sound their best if a regular Helix cable were used with them.I have now posted an adaption to the helix des... | |
| Right angle wall plug on power cables You mean like these ones? Furutech FI-12L(R) Rhodium IEC - Furutech 15A/20A Plugs & IEC - (takefiveaudio.com) Furutech FI-12LM(R) Rhodium Wall Plug - Furutech 15A/20A Plugs & IEC - (takefiveaudio.com) A bit on the pricey side, but if ... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @diertiti - UP-OCC is a process and to be able to use that particular "code" i would have to guess that it is very tightly controlled and therefore the quality is consistent across all brands.I would also like to think that Parts Connecxion also h... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @mawe - try Parts Conenxion for "naked" UP-OCChttps://www.partsconnexion.com/occ6n-copper-hook-up-wire.html.They carry most gauges suited to the Helix CablesBut I am still not certain whether the "Air" adaption on the neutral is worth the effortRe... | |
| In term of construction, what's the difference between cheap vs. expensive power cables @harrypaul - RE: How does having space between conductors improve cable performance? Especially power cable? It’s called proximity effect - google "proximity effect in cables" and you’ll find this link Proximity effect (electromagnetism) - Wikipe... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @divertiti - RE: One thing I’m unclear on is how to coil the 16ga neutral if it is being created using the air tube method? If the bare wire is free floating inside the tube, how do you coil it with the drill? I’ve never made and "Air" neutral.Per... | |
| In term of construction, what's the difference between cheap vs. expensive power cables @andy2 - RE: In term of construction, what's the difference between cheap vs. expensive power cablesthe wire used - UP-OCC copper (or similar) is best for details and dynamics Solid wire is always better than Stranded wireInsulation on the wire -... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @in_shore - WRT...’ A question to anyone , has anyone tried Furutechs F1-50s NCF ends on their helix power cords ? I would have to guess that by the lack of responses to your question, nobody has "invested" in the Furutech connectors.I have tried ... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @divertiti - WRT: I only have 18ga unocc, do you think the shield/return needs to be thicker like 16ga? Unless you are specifically performing comparisons of wire you would not notice any difference there "might" be. Any difference would be m... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @divertiti - WRT; Cable length...Since many people on this forum have reported better results wit cables longer than 1.5 meters you migfht think it would be the case with all cables.However, we are talking about the Helix geometry with KLEI Harmon... |
