Thanks much @pindac very interesting.
Where can you buy PC-Triple C wire?
Which AWG do you use?
Do you use twisted pairs or star-quad or do you even "braid" twisted pairs or just single strands? (Mapleshade seems to use several designs..)

Hi @total111, Mapleshade is a twisted wire referred to as the Clearview Double Helix. It is this Wire that sparked an Interest in the Thread shown in the Links. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/diy-helix-geometry-cabling https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/duelund-conversion-to-diy-helix-geometry-cabling There is plenty going on within the Linked Thread to convince an individual expressing an interest in Speaker Cables, Umbilical Cable in the Signal Path or Power Cables, that a little experimentation can hit the right configuration for their purposes. I have been in a uncertain situation with my audio equipment, as a Home Overhaul is to change things and when complete will be quite different to what I have created to date for a set up for my audio. This has stopped me doing certain things with Cable. I have a large reserve of PC Triple C Wire in Stranded and Solid, with a PC CCC / EX Wire also awaiting its usage. Again my system in late 2024 / early 2025 has been converted to Balanced, when I am once more settled the Wires will be used to produce Cables as outlined in the Links. In the Links it is also able to found in the Original Thread, that I had encouraged a couple of individuals to use PC Triple C. On Page 16, it is possible to see the copy / pasted comments below, that area report by one builder with experience of other Wires used for same designs of Cable " I like the Triple C XLRs very much. I believe they out perform my previous OCC builds. Just sensing more clarity, better voicing, overall info that I haven't heard previously with my go to music. This is a 30" cable with AECO copper/silver XLRs. (2) 19awg bare Triple C conductors (+, -) inside teflon tubing. Neotech 16awg for ground (Helix wrap). May look at replacing some internal hookup wire with the Triple C. Good stuff..." In the UK there is commonly a reference made to using ZenMarket to get access to Vendors of the Wire.

@total111 Silver plated may be too spitty or sibilant for your speakers.

Thanks @noromance Do you have experience with Tocaros? |
@total111 Afraid not. They look interesting. Quad ESL57 with Neotech solid copper OCC. I run solid core silver on Spendors in a second rig. You really have to get the correct cable for the specific combination. For example I swapped mine between systems and they did not work at all. |
