Here is something worth knowing: Geoffrey Owens of Helius Designs (U.K. pick-up arm designer/maker) offers his arms wired with copper, silver, and cryo-treated silver. He told me the cryo treatment not only improves the sound of the silver wire, but relaxes it's physical properties, making it more limp and flexible, a very desirable characteristic for the internal wire of an arm to have.
sleeving AudioNote tonearm wiring
Hello,
Recently tried newly purchased AudioNote silver tonearm wires on a couple of my arms (Ortofon RS-212D and Sumiko MDC800), I should say I was impressed in a positive way. Now I need to finish the project, I am going to install it into Sumiko. What I am looking for is some advise. I am planning to put either cotton or silk sleeve outside, if somebody can share a good distributor for cotton/silk sleeving material. Also, would be nice to read up / hear any thoughts on the procedure. In particular would love to hear opinion whether or not I should apply any extra insulation before it is put into the sleeve. The wire itself is already insulated of course it is not a bare wire but I was not sure.
Thank you,
Anatoliy
