@PCWork
wat mini plug u using for those headphones bro? and where u get the cable sleeves? also, do u happen to have any spare F12 plugs that can sell to me? looking for 3 pieces if u have. i made 2 mini-rcas to test wth my newly acquired icute battery II headamp this one is with unknown cheapo plugs + unknown 4-core shielded cable ![]() finally decided to get my hands on ORIGINAL Canare L-4E6S ![]() red shrink is for right and the blue+white cable is actually shrinked with clear heatshrink meant for left. plugs are Canare F10. mini is a 24k gold plated Radioshack plug. yes yes i know radioshack plugs sux but they didnt have the F12 in stock. so i used this plug which i bought while i was in San Francisco a few weeks back.

hey guys....can someone give me some comments/ thoughts on the following cable combos
1/ Canare L-4E6S with the taiwan gold stereo mini x2 2/ Canare L-4E6S with the REAN stereo mini x2 how does it sound? does it help widen the soundstage? would really like to know the effects on the bass and mids and highs as well as the soundstage. thanks in advance. |

IMHO. the plug quality is quite ok, compare to REAN. but quite a distance from F-12. i myself got 4F-12 reserved, which is paid by customer long long long time ago, but he haven't come and collect it. =) sleevE? i got from alamaklor. |

its a sunday, im free. and i had nuttin better to do. so i made another mini-rca to test with my headamp (that makes it 3 cables to test!!)
![]() ![]() mini is a cheapo plug. the RCA is some cheap china brand "Choseal" supposedly a "Super Pure Copper Connector" as stated on the packaging. bough it in Darson in Jalan Pasar... 1 pack of 4 is RM19.70. there are more expensive ones but i didnt bother with those. cable is a fake of the Canare L-2T2S. labelled as Canere L2T-2S. yes.. its spelled with an E and the "-" in the model number is in the wrong place under the clear heatshrink, the silver cables u see spiralling around the blue and white RCA cable is actually the shield. took me some time to unbraid it. used it as ground on the mini side. but did not terminate it on the RCA side (should i have terminated it?? its a uni-directional cable anyway) |

how about if i use 1 L-4E6S to make a pair of RCA to RCA? it looks more tidy and save cost..
how about the quality compared using 2 X L-2T2S? |
