. to connect EMU 0404 to anything with RCA audio input?...  LDII+ is an example.

It's from the 0404's output to the LD2's input

Almost all Josh Groban's cd i've heard clips...the recording is surprisingly poor...and for these crap recordings..I'd just keep them in lossy to save spaces.

which album? second one?
if second one yes. but first one doesn't have clips on my headphone. perhaps not high end enough to show the clipping.
but once i bring it to hifi shop. and it sounds all right. very smooth.

study until damn boring, then make some recable job on a damaged headphone who gaved to me by a cousin working in air line.
the original cable is torned. after recable it, working very good. and have very very decent bass compare to HP890.. =P

@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

user posted image

finally decided to get my hands on ORIGINAL Canare L-4E6S biggrin.gif

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.

lol. i myself looking for F-12. there's around 18 orders for stereo to RCA cable in my PM. and yet i can't find F-12 to make the cable for them.
=)
no time also.
the gold plug i use is same with yours, radio shack one. but mine is sort of heavier version, in the shop i buy, there is two plug, which look exactly the same,one with poorer quality is very light. and mine is slightly more heavy than a REAN plug.
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 laugh.gif just like the original its a 2-core shielded cable. price is RM2.50 per metre.

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)

brother, don't bother to use those fake canare.. IMHO and my comparison, the quality is huge different, and i throw my remaining 2 meter away. so that it does not waste my plugs.

Option B- RCA- RCA

4X Canare F-10 RCA plug
4 Meter (2+2, total 4M) Canare L-4E6S StarQuad
y use 2 starquad for this interconnect? aint 1 is enough since it has 4 connector inside, 1 for each rca signal( left and right channel ) and the other 2 for ground?

can i use 2 L-2T2S cables for this interconnect?

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?

not sure about quality. but im sure its alright...tonnes of headfi fellers do the same thing.

not sure of the qulity diff between the L-4E6S and the L-2T2S

if u use 1 L-4E6S. of course won't be tidy as you need to open it up, and redo the shield.
from what i read from the canare technical specification, (a thick book canare gaved me.) i prefer to do double L-4E6S =P
reason? i feel it should be better from my calculation in capacitance. but how much better i not sure as it is only merely meter, while the data were calculated with 100 meter length.
u can use L-2t2s for it also, and according to the shop, it MIGHT better for VIDEO RCA, as each 2t2s contain 60 strain of copper thin wire, while 4E6S is only 40 strain. =P
u can try it out which one better. but from what i test, 4E6S sounds not bad in the dual configuration. so i didn't borther in testing 2t2s. i got use 2t2s as stereo cable. not bad also, the shield use as ground channel.

4E6S and 2t2s different is, 4e6s is starquad, and teorically as said in the book, it eliminate the magnetic resonance better than 2t2s as it is 4 wire twisted. but from graph of frequency respond, 2t2s, and 2b2at (thin) is better in higher end, treble.
so which one u prefer, it's actually up to you.


edit : and i use dual 4e6s as cosmetic and durabilities also. beccause with f-10, u can clamp the canare black wire,
if u split it, where u wanna clam? on the thin inner wire? and it does look so "not durable" as big big plug connected with two small wire only. hehehehe
i don't prefer that, and i don't wanna sell somethings that's not durable either...

if u don't wanna mess on 4e6s i strongly recommend u to try 2X 2T2S, as that is what recommended in canare book for RCA plug.
