But in your particular case, 18 strands of 8125 is well within the range recommended by the manufacturer and, in fact, is exactly what BCY recommend for 8125G.

Haha! how true. I took my tiller bolts all the out and measured the thread portion so I'll know exactly how much thread is in the riser at all times.I would wager a simple adjustment on the limb bolts (the tiller) will vastly improve the bow vibrations.
Make a note of their current positions and adjust away.
Generally a bigger gap at the top when compared with the bottom is required (look up how to measure tiller).
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: Unwinding the limb bolts too far will have disastrous effects (look up manufacturers guide lines).
Be guided by someone who knows what to do.
I have removed the tiller bolts, incidentally they are the 'new floating head' type from Hoyt, to refit the plastic washers that keep coming off. Like carl7 I wanted to know how long the threaded section is. Maximum out turns from bottom = 6 (Hoyt manual). I will try your suggestion and increase the tiller to a 'silly' amount, perhaps 10mm, just to see if there is a difference. If there is then I will gradually reduce the tiller until the problem returns, then back-off from there. I wont worry about the nocking point until I reach some conclusion about the noise, then reposition if needed.I would wager a simple adjustment on the limb bolts (the tiller) will vastly improve the bow vibrations.

Well you would have won your wager last night!I would wager a simple adjustment on the limb bolts (the tiller) will vastly improve the bow vibrations.
The strange thing is. I measured a couple of different archers bow tiller last night, just to do a comparison. None were the same and one (the archer who commented on my noise change) actually had a negative tiller. In every case (4) they said they had not altered anything since they purchased their bows! In fact one was very interested to see what I was doing and why! All their bows had previously been quieter than mine. So I am beginning to think it may be the combination of Kaya K3 limbs with my Hoyt GMX riser!1)The sound of the bow may have to be sacrificed in favour of the group..
If you are very lucky you can get groups and a quiet bow.
Hello.Have you tried limb savers?
I am that way inclined myself. I always want to know how things work!I was just curious.
Excuses. Excuses. I'm glad you could not resist otherwise we would have been deprived of your input!The same effect is noticeable even with a self bow, too light an arrow will cause kick or ringing of the bow/string, just increasing the arrow weight a tad and it becomes smooth as silk.

(Sorry, just couldn't keep off this thread... I tried for ages.. honest... but I had to peek to see what you were all talking about.
