| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @dbass - I concur with what @wig said :-)Plus - in addition to stellar low level performance, I find I am able to listen to music at significantly louder levels without fatigue. e.g. Classical music can be a little overbearing at higher levels wi... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @stringreen - very similar, but only their IC's - they employ different geometries for speaker and power cablesRegards - Steve | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @roberttdid - yes it's infra red, but a pretty good one - for the amp I measured in two very specific places - on the faceplate near the heatsink and on the heatsink. Each time the music has been played for a similar length of time and at a simila... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @roberttdid - I have been advised by many in the past of the points you have posted above (and more) and have been "ridiculed" in my approach and design.Many people on the various forums where the helix design have been discussed would "appear" to... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @gregm - I use the 16 gauge Mil-spec as listed on my web site with the Mundorf wire and it works extremely well.If oyu use any thicker gauge then it would be difficult to attach the RCA housing because the finished cable is too thick.Regards - Steve | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @dbass - the solder you have chosen is very good, so it will provide great performance sonically.The main reason I specified WBT 4% silver on my web site was to get the point across that a "quality solder" should be used..When I first started usin... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @wig , @grannyring @dbass - I've just been listening to a pair of 1 meter IC's that now has a single strand of 18 gauge VH Audio Solid Copper, in place of the single strand of 1mm dia (17-18 gauge) Mundorf Solid Silver/gold wire. FYI: I did not ... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @hnnaum - that looks like a very good substituteGood Luck - Steve | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @hnnaum - that wire will NOT hold the coil shape.My self and others have tried different wires for the neutral and all have found that the silver plated Mil-Spec wire provides the best performance from a sound quality perspective, but also holds t... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @dbass - Got sidetracked by wonderful weather :-)No update as of today, but I will try it in the next couple of weeksRegards - Steve | |
| powercords @jw944ts - In-Akustic is a great choice. Resale is always a bonus :-)Even though I have never auditioned them, I like their geometry, design and construction methods, and I understand from other Agon members that have owned them, that they perform... | |
| powercords @jw944ts - My Source DIY cables are designed to perform to their very best abilities regardless of the type of source component.They use... - Insulation(s) on the live wire that have very low dielectric constant- a solid silver wire for the live c... | |
| powercords Sorry - unfortunately they all still have permanent homes :-)So far, the more recent upgrades only required that I change out the live conductor, so the neutral and ground wires are still the originals from a couple of years ago, so there are no o... | |
| powercords @jw944ts - If you know what to look for you can shorten the search a little. But so many times the various brands DO NOT publish the Geometry and metallurgy of their cables. In-akustik is one company that does publish this info simply because it w... | |
| powercords @jw944ts - Here’s what I have found over the last 12 years that I have been assessing/building power cables and power supplies...It is the power supply of the component that dictates how much "improvement" will be achieved by implementing a qualit... |
