Of course. Because Mapleshade misses the one key ingredient, the importance of having the two ribbons extremely close together. They have them far apart and not even consistent, just two separate ribbons. The configuration that tests the absolute worst of all!
Has anyone made interconnects using Duelund 2.0 Silver Foil?
Years ago, I made a pair of 1/8 width silver foil interconnects, for my home built tube preamp and 300B PP tube amps. 4 Nines silver from Myron Toback in NYC, individually wrapped in Teflon tape, then wrapped together. Sounds good, but I just broke one, so I am looking for for maybe something a little different.
How would the Duelund foil work out, either lightly twisted together, or placed in sheathing, or wrapped together in teflon tape.
Or is the Helix design a better option, could that be used with foil or is the round wire a better option. Since the Duelund foil is so expensive, I am looking for more of a proven design. I will be using the KLEI Absolute Harmony RCA plugs.
Thanks,

How about the DH Labs pure silver, shielded IC cable in bulk? Not nearly as fancy as home made foil with cotton insulator, but I like them, so much I stopped really trying to get better. https://www.partsconnexion.com/DHLABS-57225.html |
@jcny111... +1 for the Helix - but then I do have a little bit of a bias :-) Seriously - give the Helix a try. A few members use them and love them You might be able to use the silver foil as the signal conductor if you can insulate it. But the UP-OCC solid silver wire is probably the best conductor on the market right now If you haven't read this thread yet... https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/duelund-conversion-to-diy-helix-geometry-cabling Just focus on the last 2-3 pages I'm using 2 x 18 gauge bare UP-OCC copper (Neotec) inside a teflon tube for the signal conductor and the results are stunning Regards - Steve |
