| Would silver cables beat UP-OCC copper? @dave_72 RE:... Would silver cables beat UP-OCC copper? The answer is - it depends on the silver wire you are using and - the resolution of your systemFor example - I have used Mundorf Solid Silver with 1% gold inside cotton sleeve in my IC’s and ... | |
| Speaker Cables @jjss49 - I experienced problem using a heavy gauge (i.e. thicker than 18 gauge) solid Hookup wire for my speakers.I do realize that solid is better than stranded wire, but if your crossover is mounted on PCB like mine, there is the possibility th... | |

| Interesting 2x2 grid to describe what a component sounds like ... do you agree this particular unit was plotted as highly vivid and somewhat euphonic To me, the term "plotted" infers some sort of measurement had taken place.But I believe this is an assessment made by "a listener" and as we all know all listeners are very dif... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @in_shore - RE: not connecting the ground...My personal view...if there is a ground pin on the IEC socket of a component then the component has been designed in such a way that in the event of some kind of internal failure then the user will be pr... | |
| What equipment should I invest in next? @ssmaudio - you might want to take a look at the following...Avantgarde Uno or Duo speakersInakustik Cables - all of themThe Avantgarde are the best speaker I have heard to date, because they are extremely articulate and natural sounding - and I h... | |
| VTI audio rack, any good? I just purchased a 4 leg VTI rack and I am very happy with it.But I did not think the little "dent" in the top of the leg, where the spike of the rack above "locks into", was deep enough - one good nudge might dislodge it, sending the whole system... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @wig - did you use bare wire inside the teflon tube?I found that using the bare wire in Teflon tubes did not require anywhere near as much burn in as the wire with insulation, but then the connectors and neutral wires were already well used, so t... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @wig - nice looking cables - but how do they sound???Better than you previous Helix Cables ? How much better?What changed?Don't just leave us in suspense - LOLThanks for the update :-) | |

| Has anyone made interconnects using Duelund 2.0 Silver Foil? @jcny111 - I used Mundorf Solid silver bare wire with 1% gold, But some prefer the VH Audio UP-OCC solid silver.However - when I tried the UP-OCC solid copper from VH Audio it outperformed the Mundorf Silver/gold by a noticeable margin, I then tri... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @Luisma31 - From what I have read the Atma-Shere amps appear to be Balanced Differential Design, which means the HELIX Speaker cables WILL NOT perform their best when connected to these amps.As suggest in an earlier post for another member, you ... | |
| Has anyone made interconnects using Duelund 2.0 Silver Foil? @jcny111...+1 for the Helix - but then I do have a little bit of a bias :-)Seriously - give the Helix a try. A few members use them and love themYou might be able to use the silver foil as the signal conductor if you can insulate it.But the UP-OCC... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @mawe - #3 is correct - BUT #1 should be UP-OCC Silver - thanks for brining it to my attention :-)Here’s the correct list - and I’ve deleted the post with the mistake---------------------------------------------------------------------------------... | |
