| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @celo - that looks the same as the one I have.I think it's about 5/16" diaRegards | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @celo - any hardware store has themThey are called a "reflective staff" at Home Depot Hillman 48 Inch Reflective Staff | The Home Depot Canada Perhaps they only sell them "up North", but not in the southern statesRegards | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @aniwolfe -The balanced power supply is not in the component. Think of them being similar to a power conditioner. They can be a separate unit between the outlet and the components, or attached to the breaker panel and provide power to your system ... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling IMPORTANT NOTICE: Regarding Helix Speaker Cables and Helix Power CablesIn the last little while I have been made aware of certain amplifier designs for which the Helix Geometry Speaker cables is NOT a good choice.These amplifiers adopt a completel... | |
| Brainstorm Thursday. Are we approaching the Audiophile Singularity? I’m not really a measurement guy because:I cannot afford the technology to investigate the measurementsI trust my ears But there are a couple of measurements that I have come across which allowed me to explain the why’s of a couple of aspects of t... | |
| My system....what and how will cabling impact? @lawmnsuu - take a look at Inakustik cables. They are extremely good and very articulate and open sounding.Nordost are another company, but you would have to look at their higher end cables to do justice to your components.Regards - Steve | |
| Moon 390/330a cables Moon gear will respond very well to the very best cables you can afford.I would recommend anything from the Nordost Line that fits your budgetI have the LP5.3 RS phono stage and using the very best cables (power and IC's) with it made this unit so... | |
| Why get a separate DAC I use excellent power and interconnect cables on my node 2 and I haven't bothered thinking about trying a separate DAC because it sounds so good.But my cables are extremely good and cost more than the Node 2, Regards - Steve | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @wig - Glad to hear that the benefits justified the expense :-) You are probably the first to report what sounds like a "significant improvement" as opposed to "marginal", by using better wire for the neutral, but then is is UP-OCC copper, which a... | |
| The Good, The Bad and the Ugly THE GOOD - my Bryston B135 Integrated amp - love it !!!not the best looking amp on the marketbut it is very functional, with lots of inputsexcellent sound, huge image, great bass, very articulatesuperb dynamics20 year warranty !!!Made in Canada :-... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @t_ramey - I would advise against "mixing metals" on the signal or live conductors of Helix cables.Back in time, I tried silver plated copper wires for the signal on IC’s and they impacted clarity.Since then I have use one OR the other, but never ... | |
| Isolation for Granite Surface Plate @oldskoolmark - I believe you can get MDF in different densities, but it is a special order from specialist outlets.I buy mine from Home depot - it works wellI wouldn't worry about it because using materials having different densities with some ... | |
| Isolation for Granite Surface Plate @oldskoolmark - An approach I use to prevent ringing is to employ a "sandwich" of differing materials.My rack has a steel frame. Between the frame and the MDF shelf is a thin layer of Sorbothane on the frame strutsbetween the MDF and the granite i... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @provst - Since the Double Shotgun approach will provide the very best sound quality I would use a double helix with a ratio of 3:1Regards | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @provst - I just looked back at the @grannyring post you mentioned and your understanding is correct.But saw no mention of the ratio in that post, so I think the ratio of the Helix coil should remain 3:1 Neutral to signalI generally reserve a high... |
