Hi Bas....

Bas,

That is a $12.07 7.8 Ohm choke he is modding, so, its not " mid fi " ( above 20 Ohms DCR, but rather.. " ultra hi fi " ( under 10 Ohms DCR ). Just needs lead surgery to be optimal.

The Kimber TCSS is pure copper, so there was a LIMIT as to how much one can parallel, and not "lose highs". On a Choke, or a Power Transformer, it was three. That means the normal 19 AWG TCSS became about 15 AWG, at its limit. In audio circuits, no more than two ( became 16 AWG ) seemed OK on retaining top end.

The 12 AWG wire is multi stranded copper with silver in it, so, we can use a single run of twelve and NOT lose top end. That would be like the conductivity, transfer efficiency of about six TCSS, but without the high end loss, and the messiness of multiple wiring in parallel,( which didn't bother me if the circuit was more dynamic, and performed more true to life.) Regards.

Jeff Medwin
