DIY Helix Geometry Cabling


Apologies for the delay, but it’s been very difficult to find a FREE platform to host the Helix DIY AIR Cable content that works with minimal hassle.

The cost of running the original web site was getting expensive, so I had to pull the plug on it

The new content detailed below consists of a series of PDF files that are derived from the web site content.

  • It takes a little time to load the PDF files - My apologies - but it is FREE smiley
  • HyperLinks within the test will not work - my apologies - but it is FREE smiley
  • You will see other files in the GitHub interface that were also derived from the Web Site, but they are not formatted correctly - my apologies - but it is FREEsmiley
  • Please use the files below - they will serve as the new pont of reference going forward yes

A special Thanks to Mikhail for hosting the PDF files on GitHub - very much appreciated

Please feel free to copy the PDF files for your own use or distribute to others - OR - you can just access the content from the links below.

Going forward...

  • the content will not be modified and serve as a base level design.
    • I have no plans to develop these cables any further, since the materials I identify appear to provide the optimum performance i.e. for my ears
    • If you want to run ideas by me then post them here
  • if you wish to share your own modifications and benefits then please post them here.yes
  • If you have any questions, then post them hereyes

Below are the sections from the web site that applies to the Helix DIY cable designs

Thanks Steve, I have enjoyed making these and experimenting with different wires and dielectric's. Your efforts in keeping the knowledge base accessible is appreciated.

Thanks for posting. I assume the helix acts as a shield and that there is good noise rejection when used as interconnects. 

One thing I forgot to mention - the Audiogon Private Messaging feature...

  • for some reason, when I try to use this feature the following message is displayed
    • You must have a verified phone number and payment method to send messages.
  • Since I am extremely guarded in my use of my "payment informtation", this is not going to happen
  • so for the time being please DO NOT use private messaging to contact me
  • I will monitor this thread for any questions

Many Thanks - Steve
