If you want neutrality and unbelievable sound quality, look no further than Inakustik… I’m using a full loom and they are leaps above the 20+ brands I have tried.

@ pmboyd Audio Envy Digital Cable fits your criteria easily and saves you $175; I compared against Black Cat Mk 2, Snake River Boomslang and Revelation and it beat them handily... I prefer the sound of copper by a good margin but AE copper design is more transparent than several silver cables I tried but just more musical. Wig |
Guys, I have just finished soldering some KLE Silver Harmony RCA to williewonka Advanced Helix Digital Cable Design and with just 2 hours of burn-in, they are sounding fantastic! Amazing clarity, vibrant sounding, excellent width and depth and a very quiet cable... Can’t wait to hear them after burn-in as they are published (KLE) to require 200+ hours. I’m expediting this and they are now back on my Audiodharma Cable cooker for the next 4 days and from there to my soundbar for a few more days to settle. Will follow back up in another 8-9 days on their progression. I’m also looking at trying a Pulsar Cu II digital Cable from Vh Audio with KLE Silver Harmony RCA as well. Wig |
Guys, I don't know all of the technical and configuration aspects but I have evaluated 7-8 digital coax utilizing both RCA and BNC; I was able to distinguish differences in all of them easily. It must be the 3:1 ratio of the helix coil/signal cable that's making a difference. There is No brightness, bloat but an enveloping sound that appears to have nothing obstructing the components ability to convey the data being transmitted. I will be removing from cooker tonight and placing on soundbar for a few days and see what a DIY Helix sounds like compared to a professionally built German Helix Cable. I can tell you that I'm quite impressed already with this DIY Helix 👍 Wig |
My DIY advance Digital Helix cable has been settling into my system now for 2 days and they are Staying...Outstanding results on my 25 year old Dac as my reference Dac is currently being modified with new Caps, more filtering, better wiring and a DHT rectifier. I was considering Vh Audio Cu Coax but really have no desire as the Oyaide DB 510 is a similar typology and I’ve already tried and evaluated that cable which is good but no where near this Helix Cable. Here are a few Coax that I have owned and evaluated within the last 6 months; Oyaide DB 510, Empirical Audio Reference, Black Cat Silver Star Mk II, Digit 75 Mk II, Snake River Boomslang, Audio Revelation, Inakustik 2404 Air Helix and a few others that I can’t recall but none of these can approach the performance of the Helix. Here’s what the Helix does so well; No bright or warm sound signature, a larger soundstage with much more width and depth, life-like sound that appears to have no obstructions which allows the music to flow in a you-are-there fashion. Removing the Helix sounds as if I’m listening to a recording in mono verses having a real instrument occupying a space within your listening environment. I recommend you guys give these a try to see what you think but my eyes have been opened and a pair of DIY Helix interconnects are next on the horizon! Kudos to Steve for his research and implementation which makes it a breeze for DIYers : ) Wig |
