Duelund Tinned Copper Speaker Cables
@mdrone - The main feature of the Duelund wire is their insulation, which gives them their clarity. The combination of the stranded wire with tinned coating and the nice copper they use gives them their more mellow musical sound. They are good a... 
Zafvino Silver Dart Graphene vs. ?
@macg19 - take a look at the Hijiri thread Someone there might have ued Zavfino previously and can provide an opinion Regards - Steve  
which cables to I need for my NAIM NAP 250 DR ?
@audiocanada - Naim exists in their own universe of cables. They do not promote connections to other brands It would appear that they use a single 3 pin XLR connector with L/R/Neutral wiring see this link NAP-250 scoll down to the back panel ... 
Interesting video on cables
@jastralfu - Interesting technology and to some extent would help in discering the different cable geometries used. Unforunately it does not address the metal use in the wire e.g. OFC, vs. OCC ot Copper vs silver or the type of insulation Many of... 
Anyone with similar equipment
@derfman66 - re" Looking for cabling upgrade ideas from my current cables. The cables you have are pretty good because they use OCC copper. but their weak point would seem to be thsir insulation and their connectors. I would look at Audio Env... 
Flat copper speaker cables
@ortodox - take a look at Audio Envy - great perofrmance and affordable Not strictly a "Ribbon" but they are flat and will provide great dynmic perofrmance and details because they use OCC copper and excellent insulation Regards - Steve  
Speaker cables recomendation for Luxman L509X / Dynaudio Contour 30i
@densen17 - I woud steer slear of high capacitance cables, e.g. like TOTL Cardas cables, because they tend to have a very high capacitance. An aquaintance used them on a Gryphon amp and blew some components due to internal oscilation issues Depe... 
Yes, another audiophile at a crossroads story and request for advice
@ezstreams - your Morrow cables are actually quite good from a design perspective, but they are still using OFC, which is little dated compared to OCC copper, but you should be able to sell them quite easily because they have a good reputation for... 
Yes, another audiophile at a crossroads story and request for advice
@ezstreams - cable science has advanced considerably in the last few years and it is very difficult without knowing the science, to determine which cables may be affective. You are probably due for an upgrade, so it might be good to familiarize y... 
Yes, another audiophile at a crossroads story and request for advice
@ezstreams - You said your Power and Interconncet cables are "mid Level" What are you speaker cables? My own system has been elevated to amazing levels of details with the introduction of highly detailed cables that consist of... Advanced cab... 
Speaker Cable Recommendation to upgrade Tribuataries in Wall UL rated cable
Take a look at this neaotech cable... Neotech bulk OCC cables The OCC copper should imrpove dynamics and the geometry should improve clarity and imaging Regards - Steve  
Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
@ketchup - I was looking for bare OCC wire I can find Neotech insulated wires on Parts Connexion, but they used to have their own PC brand of bare wire in thicker gauges - They onlt have the thinner gauges right now Cheers  
Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
I haven't had cause to buy and bare OCC copper wire in a while and I'm now finding that it appears to be scarce. Does anyone know a supplier for 12/14/16 gauge bare OCC solid copper wire? Parts Connexion, my goto store,  only has 18 gauge oe sma... 
Synergistic element copper good for power amp?
I;ve seen tungston mentioned in a few high end acables and it puzzles me because copper is a better conductor - OCC copper even better using a metal that does not conduct as well as copper would degrade dymanic performance degrade clarit... 
Phono cable (RCA-RCA) from TT to Phono Pre Question
@mmcgill829 - while zavfino does not post values, several reviews state that all their cables are described as low capacitance in several reviewse. I would think they would b lower than 38 pf per meter, probably closer to Nordost cables.   Hope ...
