RE: Got some herbies spike decoupling gliders...jury is still out.




If you are willing to use premium wire and connectors, here's what I suggest. An 8 foot length of red wire, and an 8 foot length of black wire should be enough to build a 1m pair. Make sure the two Neotech Solid UPOCC Copper in Teflon 18 AWG wires are evenly/consistently wound around each other along the entire length of the twisted pair assembly. Firmly wrap the twisted pair with a layer of Oatey FASTape PTFE Thread Seal Tape, a dark gray thick-mil product available at Home Depot. Rather than rely on a damage-prone bare wire connection of small 18 AWG solid core wire with poor contact surface area, solder terminate the wires with Xhadow XH-SPD Spades and firmly secure the spades with high torque to the binding posts for minimal resistance. As an option, you can cover the twisted pair with Techflex sleeving of your choice for protection and appearance.
