Glad to hear you are enjoying the benefits of the Helix Geometry cables.Nice to hear people are trying their own variants on the basic Helix geometry as posted on the web site, because there are simply far ... | |
| Are these Duelund wires good for interconnects- Forgot to add - for my very best IC's I use a bare Mundorf Solid Silver + 1% Gold and add a cotton sleeve for the insulation.I'm yet to find a wire that provides the same clarity, dynamics and details as this Mundorf wire. I get mine from HiFi Col... | |
| Are these Duelund wires good for interconnects- Whilst I have found that Duelund wire with cotton/oil insulation is very good for interconnects I now prefer to use Solid Copper with AirLok insulation from VH Audio for many of my DIY cables. It provides more details and better dynamic perofrmanc... | |

| Pure Audio Project open baffle speakers Thanks for everybody’s input - there are certainly a few options to think about and investigate@kenjit wrote...You need to know what your goal is. Otherwise you are just going down the rabbit hole. Agreed - as I said - I had a friend who tried OB ... | |
| Pure Audio Project open baffle speakers @mijostyn - your statement about very low bass - are you thinking about "LFE style" low bass (below 20 Hz) or the bass produced by stringed instruments e.g. low A on a concert piano is around 27 Hz.Thanks | |

| Grado/Rega Hum @atmasphere - thanks for providing another possibilityI had tried for many years to solve this issue and the only solution I could find was the arm grounding solution, which in my case was unsuccessful.So in the end I just resorted to the more com... | |
| Lifespan of amps and preamps? Scott - I have a 20 year old Denon and a friend still has a 30 year old Yamaha I gave here and they are still sounding fine.I just sold my NAIM amp that had to have the power supply caps replaced after 10 years - apparently it’s "a thing" with NAI... | |
| Grado/Rega Hum Grado/Rega hum is well known & documented. I tried a Grado 25 years ago (before the Internet as we know it) and ended up selling the cartridge.Changing cartridges is the only sure fire way to eliminate the hum.Almost any other cartridge works ... | |
| What 4 subwoofers to buy? Imo the advantage of four subs over two subs is, smoother in-room response. And "smooth bass" = "fast bass". As a ballpark rule of thumb, the more intelligently-distributed bass sources in a room, the smoother the in-room bass. So two subs are pot... | |
| What 4 subwoofers to buy? What is your definition of a "lower end sub"?- Is it based on price point?, or performance?Are you looking to augment music or LFE’sWhat do you hope to gain with 4 subs? why not just two subs?I see the SVS SB1000s have a 12" driver and cost $599 e... |
