Those are Tara LabsI forgot the make of my speaker cables but I get a kick out of the wording on them... "Space and Time"...lol Bob

How is TechFlex to work with? I want to do it on my next interconnects, with heat-shrink tubing "sealing" the ends. The few recent cables I have with some similar sleeving have it nice and snug on the cable, and I would like to emulate that.
Here is a quick pictorial of how I do my ends with tech flex. 3/4" is a good length for my rca's which is the width of electric tape. Run a bead at the bottom of tape smooth with a wet finger so the glue does no stick to you. And a little piece of heat shrink and your good to go. On shielded wire a soldering iron quickly burns the tech flex but in this case it was clipped even. Hope this is useful to you.

Wow, exciting things ahead for you, very cool! Yes, the Decware cables look very good. Thanks for the update. With the success I've had with the Cullen Avius power cord and Nitin Coax cable, I'm considering adding the Crossover ll series power cord and the Crossover Series speaker cable.
I'm currently using WireWorld Oasis 7 speaker cable. I'm very curious to hear what a full set of Cullen Cable will do in my system.
Cheers,
Scott
Hey there, I just noticed this post in which you mention your Wireworld Oasis 7 speaker cables, I've got them too. Looks like you've rotated them out of your system, and your quest is similar to mine.
I have Morrow rca interconnects which are silver plated, and two power cables, a PS audio AC5(new Adcom amplifier, 555SE), and Pangea 14SE MkII for the cd player. The Schiit Bifrost and Parasound P5 preamp still have the stock power cables. I have new respect for the Oasis 7. My speakers are Totem Rainmakers, though they share duties with the Ascend Sierra 2.
Recently, my system just went to the next level soundwise, all on its own. Airy articulate highs I've never experienced, space and detail in everything else with a soundstage that is beyond the speakers. And it wouldn't be happening if the Oasis 7 couldn't reproduce it, in my opinion. It happened after I stopped swapping cables around(I have other speaker cables and IC's that I'd rotate in frequently), and left things alone for 2 weeks. Anyway, I am trying to decide on a power cable for the preamp, either another PS audio AC5 or Audioquest NRG-4. I really dig solid core based cables, the AC5 is probably overkill for the pre but it's exciting to know that it'll get even better than this!
That said, I do wonder what upgrading the Oasis 7 would do. If I go there, it would be later in the year.
Damn... The cabling in some showrooms doesn't look that good. Excellent job, Tim64!I've shown some of the cables I have made so I figured I may as well show them all hooked up in my stereo. The only one I did not make is the shorty on the headphone amplifier that is a future cable to make.
Thank You, I enjoy experimenting with different designs and this type of cable as shown seems to have the best balance in sound. They are unshielded but RF has not been a issue so far.Damn... The cabling in some showrooms doesn't look that good. Excellent job, Tim64!
