Eichmann BULLET PLUG - First Review of Keith Eichmann's RCA Bullet Plug Online. When I got word from Rob Woodland of Eichmann Technologies of Australia that the RCA phono plug had been reinvented by Keith Louis Eichmann and was going into production, I was very curious of course.
What would the new plug be like and would it function better than any other high end phono plug? When I saw the cutaway of the Bullet Plug - as Keith's invention is called - my curiosity was even greater, but at the same time I saw already one aspect of which I knew that it was beneficial: just the bare essentials and nothing more.

SoundStage! Pete's Place - JPS Labs Superconductor Interconnects: A Technical Discussion (09/1998) Pete Goudreau is a senior design engineer with 20 years experience in e-beam lith; ion- and electron-beam systems and source design; power-supply design; analog, digital, and RF design.
He admits freely that he's "completely obsessed with audio," and this article, the first in his quarterly series on sound and engineering topics, should prove it. Expect to see articles on topics from planar speakers to passive and active preamps -- with stops in between. September 1998. Sound System Interconnection. Rane Technical Staff RaneNote 110 written 1985; last revised 7/11 Cause and prevention of ground loops Interfacing balanced and unbalanced Proper pin connections and wiring Chassis ground vs. signal ground Ground lift switches Introduction This note, originally written in 1985, continues to be one of our most useful references.
It's popularity stems from the continual and perpetual difficulty of hooking up audio equipment without suffering through all sorts of bizarre noises, hums, buzzes, whistles, etc.-- not to mention the extreme financial, physical and psychological price. Rane's policy is to accommodate rather than dictate. Www.acoustica.org.uk on mains spurs. Inveterate meddling #104: dedicated earth connections OK we've outlined the DIY mains spur.
When possible, this includes a dedicated earth path for equipment which needs this connection, but this is not without risk. Here we outline the issues to do with this new earth path and we're abandoning our usual 'happy-go-gibbonlike' demeanor to play the role of safety-nazi on this, using lots of red ink and word like 'risk', because the risks of fire and electrocution are real enough for the ignorant.
First off, note we are relating only to the UK mains supply which apart from being 240VAC @50Hz is different in implementation from many overseas installations, not least because we use extra fuses in the the plug of the equipment to be protected (owing to the near-unique Ring Main design) - and chunky polarised plugs including a Mains Earth bond pin - plugs that can only be inserted one way. By way of a basic introduction: Protective Earthing is primarily and ONLY a safety feature. The Right Way. The TNT - TTS DIY mains cable. The Twisted Snake [Italian version] Many readers, willing to build their own TNT- TTS mains cable, have sent several e-mails asking where one can find the Pirelli Screenflex S2 double-shielded mains cable I suggested to use for building a TTS.
Recently I've had some trouble finding that cable too, so I've decided to use something very similar: the Baldassari cable. This mains cable has, alas, a single shield only though its construction is very, very close to the Pirelli Screenflex. As a plus, this cable is much more flexible so the building process of our Twisted Snake is much easier. Hence, even using the Baldassari cable as a basis, the TNT TTS has achieved a very high level of performance, showing some minor difference when compared to the Pirelli one. Reference DIY mains cable TNT - TTS. The Twisted Snake Second Part As promised, we are back to speak about the DIY mains cable TNT - TTS, to complete our listening test with the use of two of these cables at the same time, one feeding the CD player and the other connected to the amplifier.
You may have read in the previous article that I couldn't correctly evaluate the effect of the TNT – TTS as an AC cord for the CD player. The TNT - TTS DIY mains cable. A.k.a. The Twisted Snake [Italian version] A finale? Prologue There are certain moments in everyone's life, when we try to deepen our understanding about something that we generally are not familiar with. The Point The point is that we are talking about an object, the TTS mains cord, that I theoretically made after a couple of days of "thinking", during which I elaborated arguments more or less convincing, then I proceeded to a half-day of creativity. Realization Air! Merlino: DIY mains cable. [Italian version] During this last decade a pletora of special audiophile mains cables have invaded the HiFi market, causing many skeptical reactions among audiophiles. Many HiFi enthusiasts still don't believe in the improvements that can be achieved by using a special interconnect or speakers cable, you can imagine the reaction when the first special mains cables appeared...What the h@#l could a mains cable do to my HiFi system?
This was the main(s) :-) question. I'll leave the answer to a separate article, inviting you to read some of our Inter.views where famous HiFi cable designers explain why a mains cable does have some influence on the sound of a system, by now I'd like to propose you a cheap and easy to build mains cable, called Merlino (The Magician). The problem. Ground Force Zero, Connecting with planet earth.

"the best cable is no cable at all". DIY Speaker Cables. Bi-wire, not only an advantage. A popular method to connect an amplifier to a loudspeaker is to use something called bi-wiring. The technical idea behind this special way to connect has not reached the public in other words than "better definition in the mid range", "the bass will be faster" and "the treble more in focus" or similar nonsense. The problems and faults that arise have not been mentioned, of course. The idea with biwiring is to connect the amplifier to the filter halves separately to prevent intermodulation, generated by one driver, to influence the other driver.
If you look at the damping factor that reduces the unwanted signals however you will find that they differ very little with or without cables (with 5 or 0 metre long cables for example). When using a tube amplifier, the cables in practice have no influence at all to damp the signals from one side of the filter to the other, because the damping factor is too low already in the power amp.

DIY Power Cord. Why use the new VH Audio Wire vs. my original recommedation of Belden 83802? ************************* My prior design based on the Belden 83802 wire sounded very, very good. However, there were certain parameters could be tweaked even more, producing an even better sounding power cord. DIY Cat5 Speaker Cables.
