76  Ultimate Audio Playback / Chatter and forum related stuff / Re: YFS USB cable tour on: November 02, 2014, 07:54:50 pm

Just came back from wonderfull day at Danube river. Sunny, warm, good food. Not here as I see...

Ah yes Peter, I see your feet are very coool on the ground. "Mr. Troll", "F*ck with us", "Crazy". Nice indeed.
In my part of the world we do not talk like that. So, thank you Peter, very kind of you. Few weeks ago: "Change
your attitude" Wow! Thanks again!

I really don't know what made you so nervous? Forgive me, but that's the way I read your post.
Your mixing of the facts from the past, why? Why now?
Mixing local (Dutch) TNT postal service with service what we know as TNT International is very low punch you know.
And what's that "I should be charged this and this, instead this and that"? If I receive faulty unit I expect repair
without any additional charge on my account. What's wrong with that? Pay extra my side because it's cheaper for you??
Leave it aside, it was not pleasant experience for either of us. Costly one for both sides, yes.

O&O

No, not really VJ, it is well covered. It's Peter who makes confusion here with his lost packages (and insurance smile)

OK, some practicality, UPS Express Courier (2-3 days delivery):
Shipment from Rochester, NY, USA to Oene, NL
Customs value US$30 Weight 0.2 Lbs
Cost: US$ 59.18

Pick Up date: Monday, 8 PM Latest
Delivery date: Wednesday, End of day

Given rate is without any commercial contract with UPS. AFAIK, Peter has one, so transport should be (much) less than figure stated above.
I receive packages from Farnel UK (through UPS) and pay GBP 5.00 as flat rate to SRB.

I had zero lost packages with UPS / FedEx / DHL / TNT as international couriers. And have sent out thousands of envelopes containing one
or more Bill of Lading(s). Bill of Lading is transport document and what's more important, financial document. So I worry not on UPS service.
Dutch postal (non-registered mail) service, yes, very. And Peter confirms it but it looks like he blames other countries. Except for lost/stolen
NOS1 in USA. Intra-Europe delivery should not cost much. Registered mail, signature confirmed. Allways.

No, not forget about it, just not involve insurance etc. It ads extra cost to anyone interested to hear this cable. Cable should be sent by courier service
like 'UPS Saver' (trackable) with declared value lower than eur 45, individual to individual. Inter-EU shipments as well. See EU tax-free allowance.
PayPal coverage stays for cable owner, he's 'free of worries'. There should be some discount on the cable, that's how exporting goods is usually treated smile
79  Ultimate Audio Playback / Chatter and forum related stuff / Re: YFS USB cable tour on: November 01, 2014, 12:08:44 pm
Insurance is valid for one transport route = one transport document ('Waybill'). The way you suggested requires each person sending the cable ('Shipper')
to request insurance (pay extra premium for it) to cover the goods from loss during transport. If you request 'full insurance', goods value has to be declared
on transport document. Now 'beloved Customs Officers' have easy job.

The other way is your direct contract with some Insurance Company to which you declare shipment of goods and request insurance for it. For the company
this is standard and obvious route for doing business, but for individuals think it is harder or even not possible at all...
80  Ultimate Audio Playback / Chatter and forum related stuff / Re: YFS USB cable tour on: October 31, 2014, 09:51:55 pm
There is a possibility for YFS to use "ATA Carnet" and send f.e. cable to you (as Phasure) or any other company. ATA Carnet will allow clearing customs w/out
paying the duties/taxes, up to 12 months. This is normally used for all intl. exhibitions & fairs. Goods have to be returned or duties paid - Carnet closed.

As for insurance, think it is better to use PayPal and arrange each new recipient send full cable value to YFS (or VJ?) and YFS (or VJ) return funds to previous
person in the circle, upon new recipient receipt confirmation. Or delivery monitored through courier's tracking system. Here we do not have PayPal option "Send
Money to a Friend" (no P.Pal fees) but think it should be available in most EU countries?
81  Ultimate Audio Playback / Chatter and forum related stuff / Re: YFS USB cable tour on: October 31, 2014, 08:09:12 pm
...
- Serbia (there it will be lost, so good idea to have that as the last one).
...

Ahahahah  smile
Next time you better spend few cents more and send envelope as registered mail. You know, the ones with big "R" sticker and some numbers on them Happy

Now seriously, since there is no "a" or "B75" NOS1 here (AFAIK), plus Serbia is not member of EU community, there would be additional expense on receiver's
account on import tax + duty fees (approx 30% on goods + transport value) plus additional 'trouble' w/ Customs Officers on returning the goods, think it's
much easier to circulate the cable inside EU countries only.

Brgds,
George

Hi Peter,
Im convinced that your 93 Ohm coax (RG62) is steel (based) cable so you are on steel already and you are happy camper Happy
Perhaps it contains some more copper: 0.64mm galvanized, according to local cable manufacturer (and related to MIL-C-17 US spec).
83  Ultimate Audio Playback / Cables (Community induced) / Re: Cables with BNC Connectors/Adapters Are Generating A Superoir SQ on: September 19, 2014, 01:49:07 pm
Neutrik is not offering 50 Ohm BNC connector. See here
84  Ultimate Audio Playback / Cables (Community induced) / Re: Cables with BNC Connectors/Adapters Are Generating A Superoir SQ on: September 14, 2014, 03:38:57 pm
@vrao
Yes, that's very confusing for say very well respected cable factory. Their PDF is, say, ridiculous.
For Mouser, Digikey & Pacific Cable ones I'v checked by filtering (50 Ohm) Pacific Cable has same connector with *-75*
added at end of product name. Did not post direct link to mfr site 'cause my browser is blocking Java App for this product.
Riddle still remains on 'boutique' and most expensive one. BNC connectors of 75 Ohm impedance are larger in diameter
and that's the only difference between them, AFAIK.

Agee Happy

Intrigued by vrao's question on 'Good BNC to RCA adopters' have searched  a few.
The only one with tech details, most important would be Freq. Range, is the one Mani already suggested: Emerson 27-8110, Fr.Range: DC to 2GHz.
No other manufacturer/distrubutor is stating this information. And here are few suggestions, from easy available to 'boutique' one's:

Emerson 27-8110 @ Mouser Part#: 601-27-8110

According to H+S "High Temperature - K series" (page 48) coax cables Joachim provided link to, the best (double shielded coax) is RG_393.
That's why I mentioned it earlier.  Plus variation of it, with blue colored jacket, ENVIROFLEX_393. Then comes K03252D, RG142, RG400 etc.
87  Ultimate Audio Playback / Cables (Community induced) / Re: Cables with BNC Connectors/Adapters Are Generating A Superoir SQ on: September 13, 2014, 07:16:41 pm
Hi Joachim,

Yesterday night I was discussing over phone with my friend mentioning H+S coax cables and he pointed me to e-bay link where K02252D is available for just $2.99 / meter.
If you look at photo here you will notice that cable jacket is different, I would say transparent, not the same as on your cable(s). And K03252D costs much, much more (~$12/feet).
That's the reason I warned Mani on his e-bay purchase. And yes, capacitance of K02252D is 97pF. H+S data here
88  Ultimate Audio Playback / Cables (Community induced) / Re: Cables with BNC Connectors/Adapters Are Generating A Superoir SQ on: September 13, 2014, 06:35:21 pm
Here's data from www2.hubersuhner  (com)
89  Ultimate Audio Playback / Cables (Community induced) / Re: Cables with BNC Connectors/Adapters Are Generating A Superoir SQ on: September 13, 2014, 06:21:58 pm
@Mani - stop, cancel your e-bay order.
K02252D has Steel + Copper + Silver center conductor.

You should look for K03252D or RG393 or ENVIROFLEX 393 (blue colored jacket) for extreme low loss coax.
There's also H-S SUCOFORM_250-1_FEP capable of 18GHz, but I could not find any adapter with such capabilities...

Think that RG223/U cable of some known brand like Belden, Draka etc. would offer satisfactory quality as well.

@Peter,
Thank you vm for very detailed reply !  drinks 
90  Ultimate Audio Playback / Cables (Community induced) / Re: Cables with BNC Connectors/Adapters Are Generating A Superoir SQ on: September 12, 2014, 06:13:53 pm
Question before ordering any cable / adapter etc. My audio setup at the moment:

NOS1 > 0.6m IC > AMP1 > 2 pairs spkr cable > SPKR + AMP2,3 > SPKR LF section(s)
AMP1, 16W dual mono for each 8" Coax driver
AMP2,3 200W plate amp(s) for 2x12" (sub)Woofer sections

What reflections I have in 0.6 mtr interconnects ? (pure silver in foamy ptfe, twisted pr)

I can change above setup by using 2 sets of IC's: 0.6 + 3 mtr pairs - eliminating one pair of speaker
cables (high signal) but adding 3 mtrs low signal. Or using same lengths IC's perhaps ?

Thanks in adv.
George
