steve - use whatever you like, as long as you don't misrepresent me, which i'm 99.99% sure you won't.. feel free to correct bad grammar ("..they did superb!" i swear i graduated college!). i'm fine with audiogon member toddverrone. though that doesn't protect my anonymity very well.. take a wild guess what my name is. ha! ICs - signal wire: OCC solid silver 24awg in cotton. 3' per cable https://www.vhaudio.com/wire.html neutral: OCC solid copper 20awg magnet wire. 2 x 9' per cable http://www.ebay.com/itm/112418636937?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT connectors: KLE pure harmony solid silver https://www.vhaudio.com/harmony-rca.html the white tube is a foamed teflon flexible tube that i ran the signal through. it's pretty amazing. it doesn't kink at all. it's called hyperflex tubing from vh audio https://www.vhaudio.com/wire.html this has been great fun, i'm very happy with both my ICs and SCs. thanks so much for rolling up your sleeves and getting dirty with me! your helix design is quite the accomplishment. thank you for sharing your knowledge. |
Todd - thanks for the info on the IC's. If you should get currrrrious - I would recommend putting the Absolute Harmony on your IC's Once the new Bad-Ass Bi-Wire's are fully burned in and your ears get acclimated to the wonderful clean, dynamically crisp sounds you won't have any trouble hearing the improvements those RCA's will make :-) Agreed - It's been a great experience - thanks for all the feedback Until next time - Cheers |
@twoch - I’ve finally come to that realisation within the last 8 months or so. I don’t look at the cat 5 or THHN experiments as a waste of money though. I learned a lot building those cables with materials I could afford to screw up with. Also, I began the cable journey as a curious sceptic; there was no way I was going to buy solid silver wire for $10/ft. After all my experiments, I’m no longer a sceptic, but there’s no way I’d be here if I didn’t get to mess around with the cheaper materials. Now I’m constantly looking for high performance to price materials and, thankfully, there are many good, inexpensive suppliers with quality materials. I can’t wait until I get to build a DIY graphene cable of some sort..! @williewonka I was torn between the pure and absolute Harmony when purchasing RCAs.. one day I may go after the absolute. But then I think I'd be building those solid silver SCs at the same time.. ha! |
