![]() ![]() The foil I got is 3mil wide by 0.05 mil thick 4 nines silver and (I'm told) is the exact same foil used in the AW design. I've ordered a couple of sets just to try them. Seems that a Japanese designer called Ken Shindo uses nothing else. The guy I bought the foil from recommends Switchcraft plugs. One thing I don't like about them is the strain relief for the cable, which is almost nonexistant. They are great plugs, but I don't think they would be suitable for the silver foil. Like DaveC113 I don't like the ground connection on the Eichmann Bullets. I'll try the side by side Thanks for the advice on the cheapo plugs. ![]() Sounds as though two flat silver foils pressed tight against each other, separated by a very thin insulation is just like one big film capacitor. Thanks everyone, some interesting points Thanks, that's what I thought. Just throwing this in to stir things up a bit. Just because RCA is the standard doesn't mean it's the best. Takes the "thin concept" through the connector rather than chucking in a big unwieldy RCA. If you're serious and make your own gear with money no object, why RCA? How about Lemo as used by Mark Levinson and recommended by Allen Wright, ? He even suggests BNC are a better connector than RCA! He goes further to suggest that the sub miniature SMB is hard to beat and cheap too. it sounds noticebly cleaner and less distorted" Not my research, just a quote from the VSE Tube Preamp Cookbook again! If you start this path there is no stopping until the whole system is done this way!"Īpparently from research carried out, "Thin cable bypasses the bandwith restrictions and time smearing caused by thicker cables. The material is not as critical as the thinness, thin copper is better than thick silver.Ĥ. This solid core must be as thin as possible.ģ. It's connected directly to Eichmann posts and sounds good, although that's my subjective opinion.įrom the late Allen Wright's cookbook, (Vacuum State Electronics)Ģ. That's 1.93mm2 or equivalent to 1.57mm diameter cable. My speaker cables use 0.076mm thick (thin) x 25.4mm 4n silver. The general consensus seems to be that the improvements come from the thickness of the cable and/or connector rather than the mass. ![]()
