| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @debjit_g - I believe @grannyring prefers the Silver VH Audio over the VH Audio copper.I tried the silver on power cables for source components and preferred it over the VH Audio copperBut if you are planning to use a "naked" signal wire in teflon... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @ketchup - it is the best wire of the many wires I have tried over the past 6 years of Helix development, specifically for the neutral wire of the Helix CablesPerhaps it's more the silver plating, but the thickness of the Teflon, thickness of the ... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling I just found this place - they have 10, 12 and 16 gauge and sell by the foot - it’s NOT mil-spec, but it is stranded silver plated copper that should hold the helix shape quite well FEP Teflon Silver Plated Copper Wire (Cu/Ag 16AWG) MDY-FEP16 (p... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @debjit_g - here are your answers..NAKED means without insulation.I inserted the naked wire into a larger diameter teflon tube and sealed the ends using adhesive lined heat shrink available from many places on the webTwo runs of 18 gauge eqauals 1... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @debjit_g - I tried a full Duelund Signal and Duelund neutral interconnect probablby last year and it was identical to the same cable with the Mil-spec neutral.Others in Europe have tried some very good wires for the Neutral on speaker and interco... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @duffyd - definitely food for thought for sure So in my case I used s twisted pair, so I might take this approach...I would apply this coating after the wires were twisted, because the twisting could remove the coatingkeep the coats very thin by w... | |
| Bulk power cables suggestions @abolive - RE:... There is DIY and DIY. I guess making a cable from scratch implies a lot of trials and costly errors for an incertain result in the end, but choosing bulk cables and connectors can perhaps ensure a certain level of quality at a f... | |
| Bulk power cables suggestions @abolive - if you are adept at DIY you might want to look at my site...http://www.image99.net/blog/files/category-002a002athe-helix-image-power-cable.htmlIt is a little more "DIY" than many people might consider tackling, but it is well worth the ... | |

I have the Audiomods Series III with the bead-blast finish and the micrometer VTA featureJeff has some great new arms that perform even better and are longer (10.5") than the more "regular" length arms www.audiomods.co.uk Jeff is a great guy and... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling So I do appreciate the penchant for "Natural Fibers" but here is why I chose Teflon tube...if you took a cross section view of the wire inside the tube it appears as a small circle inside a large circle, so the point of contact is extremely small ... | |
| What xlr cable to choose @pauljenkins - the phrase "A healthy budget" tells us nothing really. But if you want a cables that will perform very well take a look at KLE Innovations. Or take a look at Nordost.Both brands command a "healthy price" so they should fit the bill.... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @nwres - that's good for US customers. Unfortunately the do not export - not even to Canada - shame :-(From their web site... Exportation PolicySorry, no international sales. We are not an exporting company. We have no exporting license, and, bec... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Chris - when I first started building the cables I found that having a neutral wire that was thicker than the signal wire provided sonic improvements, so I adopted an approach to use a gauge that was twice the gauge of the signal wire across all ... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @basillus - RE: You twist the 2 bare wires together and put them together in one teflon tube That is correct. Although I did consider using two tubes in my thought process, I decided to go with the single tube option for simplicity. Personally, I ... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @grannyring ...RE: Hot Glue the heat shrink seems to work, the adhesive inside the Heat Shrink sealed the end very nicely.But hot glue does not make the tube any wider like the Heat Shrink did - better for inserting into the coil.There is very lit... |
