In Reply to: RE: How to correctly lock WBT''s? posted by BenE on September 07, 2015 at 12:44:08
Turning the barrel counter clockwise is the correct way to tighten a WBT. I know it seems counter-intuitive that counter clockwise would tighten, but that is correct. Be sure to not over tighten...just snug.

Thanks much. Thought I was losing my mind...
The most expeditious method:
1. Loosen the locking barrel just a bit, but not enough for the barrel to become detached from the connector body.
2. Push the center pin of the connector into the rca jack slot until the connector is fully inserted into the jack.
3. Firmly grasp the back of the rca connector (the cable entry point of the connector body) with one hand, then with the other hand gently tighten the barrel counter-clockwise, just until the barrel does not *wiggle*.
Avoid tightening the barrel any more than this, since it's counter-productive to do so. Any more torque than that simple factor can actually degrade performance, IME.
Hi Duster,
Thanks very much. The instructions I had said clockwise, hence my confusion.
By the way this is the VH Audio v-twist cu 24. I'm just beginning to use it, however, I can say this far it has proved to be a nice combination of beauty and finesse without obscuring detail and muscularity when called upon. I'm impressed by what I'm hearing this far.
I'm glad to know you are pleased with the V-Twist. I can't detect any sonic weakness to find fault in. It's nothing but a good thing, to my ear.

You don't read that in the Asylum very often!

Hi Duster,
Yes I'm enjoying the VH ic thus far. My system is likely 'softer'' than yours, although, it's not mushy by any means. All tube amp and pre VTL. The only thing I have noticed is a very slight, and this is early on, lack of 'jump' in the drums on some recordings compared to a silver ic (clear day) that has a host of other issues compared to the VH. Other than that observation, that may be an early artifact, I am very impressed by the cable across the board. I am also happy with my experience with Chris.
I should add that my note regarding the drums puzzles me because overall this is a very dynamic cable.
In other news I wonder about the ChEla speaker cable. I have some Kimber 12tc and wonder if they are similar. In my system I prefer the Clear Day double shotgun...
Thanks again
