was ist los-

how much you interested in?


Dreamslacker-

I don't mind shipping to singapore..... no reason a head-fier should be left out....

btw, since you are in asia take a look into finding EL2009 90Mz 1 amp buffers.... From my understanding it is possible to find them in china.


Philodox-

yup, this stuff can be used for internal wiring. nothing special needed. It is going to be clear teflon coating so color coded wiring isn't possible. If you want color coded wires try using nail polish to paint them or mark them

what's the price drop at 2001 feet?

when i emailed them i said 1/4 mile to 1 mile and they just mentioned the 1000 ft roll price and didnt tell me about a discount at 2001 ft

you want to take care of stranded group order and ill take care of solid?

you are also in california so this may make more sense to be distributed from you since the wire wouldnt have to come all the way to me in NC
sure. I'll distribute that out so send my order of solid core and the stranded stuff to me. if you want, I can distribute all of it....

I have no clue... I requested for the information a few hours ago and am waiting for them to send me a response by email. I mentioned that I was interested in purchasing around 1000 to 2000 feet of 24 gauge solid core silver wire and asked if there were any discounts available and that is the reply I got back.

how long did it take for them to give you a quote? I will update the thread with information as I receive it.

i got a reply the next day

even if i place the order it probably is best to ship it to you since you are only 244 miles from them and that will further reduce the price for everyone.

unless you don't want to deal with packaging and mailing.

i meant to call about an order of spools today but i forgot.

i think they are super cheap like 10-packs for like 4 dollars

that or just coiling it up in a flat square box

I wouldn't mind distributing them out.

I don't think the spools are necessary since the lengths being asked for are not too long and it should fit in a small or medium padded shipping envelope comfortably. I have a balanced pair of the Homegrown Audio Silver Lace (8-wire litz construction 4.5ft interconnect. 90+ feet of 26 gauge silver wire total according to their site.) and that came in a padded #2 envelope. I wouldn't mind using spools and other packaging if you guys prefer that instead.

there may be a solution to the flexibility of the cables..... i believe CFW can temper the wire at different hardnesses i can see about soft options for solid wire
The litz configurations I have seen inside the CD3000, and IIRC even the outside cable also is called in the manual as such, both, are stranded, not solid core.
I preffer stranded not only for flexibility, also a solid one is more prone to brake IMO, any bad twist, or the like, and once it breaks you have a problem there....for such expensive cables, honestly, I preffer stranded

I'll definatly be in for some of this. Say about 30ft.

This is my first time joining in a group buy i was just wondering how payment will be decided? I live in Austrlia and the stuff is rare here to say the very least, and i don't care much about shipping costs.

What i do care about is method. I don't have a paypal account how else do i get my dollars to u? Or failing that how easy is it to use paypal? Just insert credit card number and pay u? Sorry i've pretty much never paid for anything like this before.

Thanks. Well, to be honest, the China market is about as accessible to us as it is to you guys. I could try and see if one of my friends who occasionally flies over to China can find any surplus or factories illegally manufacturing the buffers. Heh...

Sovkiller.....

i really don't think that an extreme twist would be too big an issue, especially in an 8 braid configuration. i can see 1-3 wires possibly getting kinked and snapped but having 4-8 wires in effect gives comaparable stuctural strength to prevent kinking


i can see the stiffness being a problem though..... we are going for 24 gauge.... i can't help but wonder if 26 gauge might be better for an 8 braid configuration


i would figure most people would be happy with a 4 braid configuration..... but, for me, if i am going to do this i am going all out.


I definitely see wire stiffness being an issue though....... i need to email them and ask how big 8 24ga wires with teflon coating is on the cross section.

i was thinking of running it through some thin walled flexible rubber tubing like clear PVC tube and then putting the techflex over that.... assuming it doesn't get too thick to do so



Dreamslacker --

i figured it was worth a shot asking


Garbz-

i think an international money order could work... they probably sell them at the post office there..... but paypal really is easy to use.... sign up and see

if you went the money order route then i can account for your money in the wire order for you but you'd have to wait for the order to arrive here before i ship it out to you

I believe we are doing an order for the solid core and one for the stranded version so it would be nice if people specified which they were after?
