remember the braiding sequence, apply even pressure on each round, make sure each round has the same gap as others.

Thanks for the tip

I'm slowly getting used to the flat braid. Training on cat5 cables.

Just found out there is a round/chain braid. Will try that out.

Now... It seems that i cant find a tutorial on 6 or 8 braids.... Is it some sort of trade secret?

What is the reason/benefits of having 2-3 signal and 1 ground?

i did 8 braid before, you can do it in 2 ways, you can group them into 4 pairs then only braid or braid them individually. Its hard to find it because its quite troublesome to do it.

from my experience, if you put 1 left, 1 right 1 ground, the sound tend to be slightly slower, you see because each channel has its own signal cable but ground is being shared. for all my cable that i sold i usually do 1:2 ratio, unless cable mixing.

Wondering if this cable can be custom made?

Its for my Maverick D1 connecting to my laptop. Anyone making this?

Custom made USB isn't a problem. You have a specific length or something in mind?

Hw much is say 1.5 metres? Wat sort of cables r recommeded? Canare?

Mine is made of OCC copper, ran out to about RM300+ for 1ft. You get different sound with different material. I'll check with my cable guy and see, will pm you once I get the details.

Alritee then. Thx

Yeap, I tested 8 braid using 4 crossed pairs first.

So far I prefer round braid over flat braid. It is easier to get consistent, looks better and more flexible too.

After half a dozen cat5 testing, now going to make one using canare star quad.

- 3.5mm Rean plugs
- 6 wires braid

24awg ofc recabled. still polishing my skills. not sure what to do with making a reinforced y-split.
used 1/4" plug instead of 1/8" because I can't seem to fit the cables in the plug properly. also 1/8" plug too miniature for my shaky hands to solder...

Anybody know where to get logitech power cable (230W - 50Hz 260mA)?

Bought 20meter vztec branded cat5e cable today, wanting to make lots of el'cheapo cables(training and testing purposes). It said 24awg on it.
I'm not even expecting it to be OFC. Lousy but shiny copper strands will do.

Cable was extremely soft before stripping the cat5 tube. When I opened it up....... 26awg and it is not copper! Stranded steel!

hi all sifus

newbie here. i want to chg my hd202 cables but im not sure whr to get those cables and wads the name of it.

and is basic soldering knowledge izit sufficient to do this work?

Make sure your solder is not too hot until burnt the drivers

erk,how do you braid 4 wires? @_@
I want to recable my headphone...haha

what headphones is it?

just an AVF copy of a Superlux headphone. lol.

Im just trying to learn how to recable since it will be a waste to just let it sit there doing nothing at all.

haha, no point recabling it lah, might cost more than what you paid for your AVF

not going to use audio cables...I got some spare wires lying around with more than enough AWG for the purpose and also I have cheap 3.5 audio jack lying around.

learn from below first
