QUOTE(k3lvinNdad @ Aug 17 2013, 10:48 PM) omg...than silver plated wire not good to use? not all SPC, the SPC you using I had it too, bought from pudu, that green banner shop, it is meant for power cable, which will be harsh on audio signal. my SE215 project using SPC also, but won't have piercing sibilance as the spc that got from that shop.

QUOTE(infrasonic @ Sep 22 2013, 01:28 PM) Got a question to ask..noob here. Why do you guys need to recable your headphones? Does it sounds better?? And where do you guys get your cables and plugs? I tried searching in the google for cables but couldn't find anything.. Each cables have it's own characteristics, there are many reason to recable your headphones, to change it's signature to make it more suitable to your taste, to change to more tough cable so that it won't breaks easily, for beauty, and last but not least, for fun. Does it sounds better? not necessary, it depends on your personal taste as well, if you like it then it's okay. Sometimes after changing cable can make the signature gone bad as well, it's all about pairing. 
Had a day off from work, managed to make a silver plated on high purity copper interconnect.

QUOTE(TOROBO @ Oct 23 2013, 09:00 AM) may I know what is the advantages of silver cable? I thought it has bad resistance? it has good conductivity of signals, high purity of silver tends to tighten up the bass section and makes your setup sounds faster. Based on my experience.

QUOTE(infrasonic @ Oct 31 2013, 05:02 PM) Guys, in my previous post, I said I will be making a DIY Cable for PC to Amp connection (3.5mm to 6.35mm), problem is I couldn't find any audio cable in my town. Most I found is the Orange-Red colored speaker wire that comes with 4 wires sticked together, would that be okay to be used for my connections? The wire looks something like this.. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Btw, anyone here always buy things from Element14? How long does it normally arrives? The 6.35mm plug I found there is not available in the SG warehouse, but in US warehouse, will it take very long to reach me? If the 3.5mm plug is from SG, and 6.35mm plug is from US, do they send them together or will be separated? some speaker cables are too thick to be solder, just beware on it.

QUOTE(infrasonic @ Nov 2 2013, 05:51 PM) From US or SG both also same price for delivery right?? Now go the free delivery if I'm not mistaken.. What do you meant by too thick to be soldered? Btw, Element14 have really good customer service LOL. Few days ago I received a call from them in Singapore, just to tell me that if I got any problem I can call their hotline number  Some cables are very thick, if iron not hot enough, sekali touch, the tip gets cold.

QUOTE(NoobHacker @ Dec 1 2013, 06:07 PM) hi, heres my almost-final version of my diy cable https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1...=1&l=568ffe527a*new flat cable design *maintain star-quad cable design(8 cables:2 left, 2 right, 4 GND) 1. removed copper shield for better weight 2. removed some 3mm sleeve for thinner cable 3. re-solder for tighter connection between cable and 6.35mm plug sound quality differ : lesser low frequencies, thinner sound, sub-bass disappeared =( I don't know why, just removed the copper shield and the bass greatly disappeared. The male's voice doesn't sound thick anymore (this is the largest difference) . I need to mention that i didn't connect all (4 wires) to the GND last time, but connect both this time,would that make difference? Done some run in?

QUOTE(mykazza @ May 1 2014, 03:29 PM) anybody know where i can buy those 3.5mm jack screw type? im not an audiophile just that my 2.1 woofer cable had some issue. whenever i tried to use "normal" 3.5mm it had white noise when i plug it in. but then when i use the original cable and solder the 3.5mm it work perfect but currently my termination is not good and it kept get loose. so where can i find 3.5mm and im planning to use cat5 cable to it. is that an good idea? the original one's is the screw type?
