Best interconnects for Velodyne DD series


Athough frequency spektra is narrow for a sub I´m sure there
are better and worse IC:s., questions is how much.
Is silver better than copper considering reproduction of signals origin.
What about overtones (although less distinguishable than midrange), how much impact on soundstage, details etc. (not talking about placement of sub).
Anyone with experience I´d really apreciate your thoughts.

Many Thanks!

I needed 2 cables for my setup and my guess is that you probably do as well, but I would make 2 calls.

First 1 to Velodyne - there is a tech guy in Arizona that is very good. Depending on what he says after you describe your setup and what you are trying to achieve, if you DO need a 2nd cable, I would call either Ted or Elliott at Synergistic. All three of these are good guys and will be happy to help you solve your situation.
If you're thinking of expensive ICs then go the distance and replace the stock internal speaker wire between the plate amp and the woofer. For my DD-15 I used a DIY silver litz braid, but any high-quality speaker wire will be an improvement. Replace the cheap connectors on the plate amp with directly soldered connections. Also, if you have a balanced preamp and a long cable run you can try a LF Jensen Isomax transformer at the sub for XLR/RCA conversion and galvanic isolation. Finally, if you're handy, for a big improvement replace the 4-pin rectifier bridge on the plate amp with a bridge made of Cree Schottky SiC diodes.
Hi Dgarretson!
I´ve already followed the advice on sub You gave a while back changing rectifier/internal cable. It was improvement with better distinct bas. But there might be a "missing link" between pre and sub. Maybe exaggerating but I´m willing to give it a try.
(Glad to hear that you´re happy with Dueluns resistors for your Merlins)

Many thanks for all advice.

Happy Listening!
Clabe, Woops, I had forgotten. I guess it's time for me to try some fresh ideas rather than recycle. Thanks for recommending those Duelund resistors!
Hi friends!
I´ve just tested my Velodyne DD10 with Acoustic Zen Silver Reference II. I noticed a more fleshy/pronounced and distinct bass from 50 Hz and downwards compared to my previous copper cables, Truth Link among others. I believe silver can improve bass response. On the other hand I´m shure some copper cables will improve over others and even silver ones, it all depends on design/quality and of course price. In general terms my opinion is that conductivity for lower bass frequency is improved with silver.
If You have a high quality system try for yourself, might be surprised.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year/Ear!
