| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @abolive - I have use the 'V' shape, but I generally tend to solder onto the flat spot. for solid wire I place a small 90 degree turn at the end of the wire and insert that into the 'V' I didn;t find it made any difference, from a sound pe... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @lewinskih01 - looks! Perhaps similar plugs from companies like Furutech use real carbon fiber, bur the plugs I have used simply use a small carbon fiber looking band. The benefit of these plugs is the housing has a more secure cable clamp... | |

| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @lemonhaze - at no point have I experienced brightness or any other sound changes in my system with the Helix geometry/wires - I did experience more details and improved clarity and improved venue acoustics (i.e. hall reverberations) using silver ... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @lemonhaze, 2 x 18 gauge occ silver is great for source components. I would use 1x14 gauge solid OCC copper for the neutral.

| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling This method has lead me to thinking there is the potential to have a Hard Wire connection for the Pre’s Out, with a Helix Design Cable concealed within the Power Amp.

| Zavfino prima mk2 speaker cables @carybryston - I have owned Kimber 8tc and went on to develop my own speaker cables, which were superior to the 8tc and even the 12 tc in every respect. I tend to read a lot about other cables to see what design approach they have taken. Zavf... | |
