| 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... | |
| Math + Logic + Science = something completely mad... @jerkface - Unfortunately I do not make cables for others - for various reasons.But there are members that willHowever, the parts are a little expensive + time/effort to build - the price gets up there.Let me know if interested and I'll put you in... | |
| Math + Logic + Science = something completely mad... @jerkface - have you considered wire type, wire material, insulation?.Wire type: solid wire is far superior to stranded wireWire Material: UP-OCC solid Silver is best, but to keep it reasonable then use UP-OCC solid copperInsulation has an impact ... | |
| Initial disappointment with 1st set of “expensive’ IC’s... I've had cables that continue to improve up to 400 hours of playingTypically I put them on my streamer 24/7 for at least 150 hours before any serious assessment.The burn-in process is different from cable to cable- some save their best performance... | |
| Favorite cable brand. In order...Inakustik,Nordost KLE Innovations | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @wig - did you try the cables with the UP-OCC copper neutral on your main rig yet?And the verdict?I am very interested to hear if there were noticeable improvements over the silver coated Mil-Spec neutral versionCheers - Steve |
