thanks for all your response !
the reference mod page looks as if it is exactly what I want ...
I made several IC's from Chris' recipe a few yrs ago ...the silver / teflon double helix around the air core of 5/16" tubing of teflon again ...at the time I was reasonably pleased with the results , but now I find it is too bright on my current equip...which is better than I had then
so the high purity silver thin gauge wire is languishing , I have decided to try spkr cables , hence the need for the cotton sleeve ...I am thinking looser fit ...lots of air ..the best dielectric around it ...
anyone had any experience with this configuration ?
I've made speaker cables with 4 strands/phase of RAM's Audio Consulting 24awg silver wire in a litz braided of four 2mm cotton sleeves. Very nice. Unshielded designs like this sound more detailed and airy with a 1" band of ERS cloth wrapped around either end.
if so, what was basic design?
PartsConnexion has cotton-sleeved silver and copy hook-up wire from Jupiter. See the link below.I just made some ICs from some cotton-clad silver from ChrisVH, wrapped it around 1/8" cotton clothesline a la Chris' Fine Silver ICs, then used cotton bandaging to secure/insulate it before covering it in Teflon Techflex. Haven't listed to it yet, but it should sound pretty good!
chris VH's cotton sleeved silver wire is amazing, mate it with some good plugs, and you get a really great sound.
