Redone wiring for my NCores.
« on: 26 Jul 2014, 05:20 pm »
I built some Ncore amps last October.  I showed pictures of the outside, but didn’t show the wiring as I wasn’t very happy with my work.  I had a friend redo the connections to the connectors that I did.  He is a pro at this stuff.  It was my idea to do a 4 wire weave of the speaker wires.  I don't know if that helps or hurts.

PS My original pictures are now in the intergalactic wastebin.  :cry:

Hi Bob,

Nice to see those babies again!

A braid is always better than straight wires.

Best,
Matt

Sorry to say that isn't very good.  Not good at all actually.  You want the wires very tight like this.

^ Yes a little tighter twist would be better.

Best,

@fsimms I believe that the power wires are supposed to go in the channel that is to the right, as you look at your first picture.  This will keep them further away from the various low level signals.

You can see them in a picture that @kd took here:

Thanks greenkiwi!  I will change them.  :thumb:

Thanks also to jtwrace.  I will tighten the loops up a bit too.  Although, as a physicist, I am not sure that it will make much of a change since these are in a weave.

Yes, but as an audiophile you know it will remove one of the hundred or so "veils" in your system.  ;)

Without qualification, the above comes across as very arrogant and lazy. :thumbdown:

Did someone say cable twisting?
From an AES regional meeting.

Thanks!   :thumb:   Perhaps you should read some of Bruno's instructions.

Doesn't look right and also a bit sloppy there.
