Speaker wire... Diy?
Well, shut my mouth and call me corn pone, it finally happened! Someone didn’t like Goertz cables. It was bound to happen soon or later. Whatever it is, eventually somebody out there will report he didn’t like it. It could be speakers, it could be cables, it could be fuses. It could be the alien. But it’s going to happen. 😛 The expression I’ve got 40 years of experience is almost always a tip off. 🙄 |
@ddjr - don’t let the "nay-sayers" in this thread put you off trying DIY cables - especially the Helix Cables. Granted, many DIYer’s fail because they simply opt for the bulk cable with some expensive connectors. Few actually try anything out of "the norm" and as a result the cables do sound mediocre. Many of the latest developments in cables have all been about cable geometry, i.e. how the live/signal conductor are placed with respect to the other conductors, whether it be braided, ribbon or helix variants. All of which offer better perofrmance than your standard bulk wire from companies like Beldon, Van den Hul etc... So give it a whirl and see how they perform. If I had listened, I would not be enjoying the superb imaging, clarity, dynamics and realism that my system now conveys. If you would like to contact me via the Dashboard - Messaging offered by Audiogon please do - I’m always willing to discuss DIY with others of a similar mindset :-) Regards - Steve |
dave_b Careful GK...there is also a lot of well educated imbeciles babbling in institutions. Just because there are a few still lurking about who haven’t been committed yet doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be 😉 It would have been correct to say, “there are also a lot of well educated imbeciles babbling in institutions.” |
