Hello folks,
I've bought myself a new stereo (Bowers & Wilkins DM683, Cambridge 740A/740C -combo) and I've decided to make my self a really nice interconnect instead of buying one. I'm going to buy some silver wire 0,5mm (24AWG) from "MrMajestic2" and I need some help with a few questions that I have, as well as some generall tips. I hope you will not get to upset with my english
The layout (per cable):
The silver that I will use is going to be isolated with PTFE (teflon) and I'm thinking of using four conductors and braid them like this. [img=http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/3546/isolerflata500gt0.th.jpg]
Around this braid I'll put a shield braid and on top of that, another PTFE tube. I think this layout is good since the braid itself help remove interferences, and with the shield braid on, interferences from electrical wires and such has to be eliminated. -or?
Question 1:
Is this layout a good one? Should something be changed?
Question 2:
Will the sound change to the better the more conductors that I use?
In this braid I could use all four conductors for signal and let the shield braid be ground. Or I could let two of the four conductors be signal and let the other two be ground along with the shield braid. Or I could do a braid in which two of the four tubes contains conductors, and the other two only air.
What do you think is the best solution?
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance...
