Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling

@mbolek The Threads been quiet for a while, I have a question for you.

Did you receive your PC CCC  Wire Order?

If yes, has it been used and you have formed an assessment of it.

I have now been able to have been demonstrated the wire in use, from Source to Speaker on a friends system who I introduced to the wire.

The Vinyl LP as a Source on my friends system, now has developed to the wire being in use as an internal Tonearm Cable, Interconnects with Selected Low Eddy Connections on the Cables and Phonostage Chassis, Internal Phonostage Hook Up wire and the Power Cord, the Speaker Cables are also using the same wire.

This is a system I am very familiar with, and when presented as the system owner had wanted it to be heard, it was without doubt, the best I have ever heard this system.

I was gobsmacked at how a Cable that sounded very good when demonstrated, was shown to be presenting as quite inferior when compared to the same Cable ng with a different RCA Connector, especially a RCA selected for the Low Eddy Properties. This is indescribable and is needed to be experienced.

When the exchanges were carried out, the Low Eddy Signal Path was able to present Notes and Vocals with a Envelope Shaping, in a manner I don't ever recall being able to perceive.

The system owner has also made it known, the wire has created such a positive impression, if the wire could be discovered to be purchased in a gauge to suit a MC Coil, they would send a Ortofon Cart' away as a Donor Cart', to a rebuild service, to have the Aucurum Wire replaced with it. That is quite a serious move toward this wire type in anybody's assessment. 

The wire is available in very fine gauge 0.03mm as a Screening Mesh, but is only found in assembled cables, a 0.18mm is the finest I know of in a stranded wire. 

Let's say you're using double solid core hot leads and double stranded grounds.  What direction should the hot pairs be twisted and what direction should the grounds be twisted around them?

I have not received my AR CCC bulk wire.  I ordered fromjapan.  We'll see if it ever shows up.

As an EE, I do like some of your terminology (Eddy properties).  Not an analog/vinyl person, so my only interest in these cables will be an XLR connection from a streamer to amp.  Maybe a speaker cable...

@williewonka 

I recently listened to a Buchardt WiSA system.  No cables...sounded awesome.

The days are numbered...

@ketchup 

good question...I would say that the positive/line conductor should be twisted in the opposite direction of the negative/return conductors.  Basic current flow...

@williewonka 

I have tried many cables with this orientation and really never could tell a difference.

@mbolek It took almost six months for a package to arrive that I purchased from Australia, there may be a pleasant surprise turn up.

I do believe that a XLR is a low mass connector and the Eddy Effect is reduced due to this.

As you are an EE, the discussion seen in an old thread I have seen, where a method is proposed for producing connections that are said to be Low Mass.

The Link will show the discussions and selected parts for producing the method from the era, there may be a variant as an option today.

I am without doubt the improved impact on what I was experiencing is due to the choices made for the connection.

This was not a veil had been lifted moment, each Cable was appearing equal in Soundstage Depth and Width, and how a insight to a recording was being perceived, each Cable was able to deliver with a very similar presentation for the overall performance.

The difference was how the Note and Vocal took on a Shaping of the Envelope, the Cable with the Low Eddy RCA Termination, when connected to the Low Eddy RCA chassis mount connector showed a substantial and notable improvement in this area of the presentation. 

Does having the CCC Wire running through the Analogue Source Signal Path contribute to the effect, I can not say, but it does contribute to the perceived purity that is present in comparison to other used signal wires.
