I don't think the Cat5 cables are gonna 'sound' any better than the stock cables you have T_T

so what's the use. Just some really sore fingertips and a bundle of fugly, technicolor cables.

i spent ~rm12 for canare f12 a long time ago
even then, i already felt it was expensive

@wilzc
people use cat5 cable not for sq improvement
but because its cheap/free to source

Hi,

May i know whats the main differences between Canare L-2T2S and L-2B2AT?

anyone can enlighten me? Thank you

hey guys what do you use to shrink your heatshrink? mine is like 125C and a hair dryer aint working and using the soldering iron makes it look really ugly

L2T2S thicker than L2B2AT.

hot air gun

small portion can use lighter only... use side to side method... or can say left to right and to left again... but must do really quick...

for big portion heatshrink can use candle----

tips #1
use heatshrink minimally and make it invisible/hidden, a cable with visible heatshrinks is asthetically unappealing

tips#2
if heatshrink is your thing,use plain heatshrinnk tube without any brand/writing on it (unlike hongshang) hongshang make the $$ cable/connector looks amatuer/el cheapo

mmm done with my cable and tested with the superlux 668b stock cable was a lot more smoother and the cable i made was a lot more aggresive, not sure if just me but i can hear big difference.

stock = instruments more obvious
DIY = neutrik and canare l4e6s = vocals more obvious (highs become a lot more stronger and a little harsh)

pictar?

Here you go though I need to find a way to fix the female mini part where some of the wire exposed because i cut my heatshrink too short

The reason is that the female mini couldnt fit the cable sleeving and its the only one they had so I had to strip off more of the sleeving and cover it with heatshrink.

anyone know of any good female 3.5mm female plugs that can fit canare L4E6S?

why dont just strip off the whole thing? Leave it bare, the interior cables are tougher than you think it is. it will be way more lighter too.

to fit that thick cable you need a plugs that are at f12 seize and as far as i know the f12 is the cheapest for that size

i see...any other cables you can recommend l4e6s are like RM10/meter? I'm looking into Belden but I can't seem to find which model/code number im suppose to find. And where can I find techflex to make sleeving look nicer, and how do i use it?

Try to make the connector hole larger...i re-drill the hole for wire to enter to the connector...

u can try rean 3.5mm female...but u need do some modification...
re-drill the hole for wire to enter to the connector can aredy...

alright thanks

Also anyone got a guide for making a 3.5mm to 1/8" cable? I've followed a guide on headfi for 3.5mm to 3.5mm but I don't know where to solder for 3.5mm to 1/8". I've decided I don't want use an adapter to connect my headphone to my future amp which only has a 1/8" port.

And also xD from the 4 wires of the L4E6S i've been lucky to get left and right wires correctly the first time but I don't think my luck will last that long. What's a way to figure which is left or which is right for the other end instead of resoldering.
