@goose - all updates will be there next week - I was waiting for the upgrade to the IC's before making changes to the site update.
The content of the site is still relevant, it is just missing the Neotech wire. There are no changes to the fabrication approach, just the wire used for the signal or live conductors
Basically - I will now be including the Neotech wire on my site, in addition to the VH Audio and Mundorf wires.
The only difference in this thread - I mentioned that I removed the insulation on the power and speaker cables.
I will not be covering this approach because of the related tarnish/oxidation issues, which I am finding are too difficult to overcome for the average DIYer.
I believe leaving the insulation in place is not too detrimental to overall system performance and I do not want to recommend an approach if it means that the wire has to be changed in a couple of years after it has turned green and impacting performance
As @grannyring just posted above, we are now talking about very small personal preferences and system synergies...
- On my system I prefer the Neotech
- On his system he prefers the VH Audio
- and if we were able to listen to each others systems we would probably agree on the choices we have each made for those systems.
There is very little difference in performance between these two wires - they are both excellent choices.
Perhaps combining them throughout the system might be the right choice for your system.
@oldears - agreed, Furutech does make some very good solid core wires. I recently heard from a fellow DIYer about how pleased he was when he upgraded his power cables with a 12 gauge Furutech solid core wire.
There are just so many wires - and so little time :-)
Hope that helps - Steve
