Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

RE: "Where the heck did the guy get such a thing?"

One of the guys in our audio club was a silver dealer. I believe John (the guy who made them) got the wire (or rather, tube) from him. He used a translucent Teflon tube over the silver, and Odyssey non-magnetic RCA plugs.

Here's one link, but I don't see sliver. I'm betting someone has it, if you're interested.

Now that I think about it more, two of the DIY wires in our experiment were Mogami microphone cable. One with two conductors (which I made) and another with a spiraled four conductors. The consensus was that the four sounded better than the two. That could have been attributable to better shielding, or less resistance.

I'm a skeptic about much of the magic mojo, I will admit. I know my post doesn't imply that, but I do try and keep an open mind. Start telling me that you put crystals inside your breaker box though, and you're going to see my eyes roll. Sorry.
