Boulder 500ae
The original helix design concept was to eliminate the parallel conductors commonly used in conventional cable architectures in order to minimizes the noise, proximity effect and Skin effect to imperceivable levels, improving clarity and dynamic performance of the interconnect. I have listed a few options of wires that can be used for the signal and neutral wires in the detailed fabrication instruction, but the digram below shows which wires I use and for which components I am currently using HELIX IMAGE (Air) cables and can report that the modifications have resulted in significant and easily discernible audible improvements over the older design.

So the challenge was: how to get the Dk as close as possible to the value of Air? Dielectric constant, property of electrical insulating material (which is a dielectric ) equal to the ratio of the capacitance of a capacitor filled with the given material to the capacitance of an identical capacitor in a vacuum without the dielectric material.NOTE: For Helix Cable/Component compatibility - please see HELIX Q & Aįor unsolicited opinions of what other folk think of the Helix Cables please take a look at this linkĭuelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cablingĭuring previous developments, it was quite noticeable that selecting wires that had an insulation with a low Dielectric Constant (Dk) for the signal or live wires only resulted in improved sound quality
