I also would stay away from EQ its like not listening to my "headphones"

Believe it or not I used my old grado cable on my superlux 668b it isnt half bad, brings out the mids I feel, but really smooth and maybe a little fatiguing if for long periods. How to better explain it...the mids have some sibilance now but of course with EQ I can make it not as bad.

next week heading to jalan pasar to buy a few metre's of different audio cables to test out each of their sound let me know if anyone needs me to buy anything

which cables youre planning to try now

Any cable that has 3-4 cores I'm going to try I'm also thinking of mixing the cables together. Full out mix and match.

That looks like cable made from foil paper

also anyone know any good RCA plugs? it seems my rean/neutrik RCA tips are actually quite thick compared to other tips. cant fit into my little dot

EDITED: apparently my goldsnake RCA could fit because the center tip is slightly smaller in diameter so i switched it about xD and now it fits wheeeeee

my ath fc 707 cable just broke, how can i replace it ? any idea ?

from reading your thread you need someone to solder another set of cable for you. If you need help do feel free to PM me I stay in PJ area.

you had any idea on what cable should i get ?

so far i've only used canare cables but if you can go jalan pasar and find any cheaper cables also can as long as it has 4 cores. For me i'd use 4 cores for dual entry headphones.

I might go jalan pasar next week for some cable shopping so let me know unless your in a rush.

looks good, more2teayap

isit teflon hookup wire?

This post has been edited by malutapimau: Jun 3 2013, 12:14 PM

it doesn't feels like teflon, some kind of very soft pvc.

I feel like I'm getting noise from my USB ports out of nowhere there will be a loud hum according volume which fades in and out. And during the hum there will be loud distorted beeps. Getting a ferrite clamp if it doesn't work might build a new cable for my odac.

Any suggestions?

Try it on the second desktop/laptop, humming might be ground problem, ferrite might not work, but worth to try. beeps on DAC normally is driver problem. Correct me if i'm wrong.

i also think it might be ground proble but not sure how to fix that haha. its not driver problem because this happened on my E10 and also once I changed to ODAc also it happened so I think it might be USB problem

try it on other computer to make sure

Alright will try. Also any recommendation for making a power cable. Mine is pretty old and afraid that the inners are corroded or oxidized. Using 10+ year cable from generic PC psu to power my amp.

get some supra lorad power cable

the generic power cable would do just fine, ging

actually it does makes difference, if the transferred current is not clean, then it affects the performance of an amp, do try it out in hifi shops.

i want find like belden 19364 or 83083 but cant find it anywhere online and need buy by roll. do you think jalan pasar has the 19364?

I tried

medical/lab/precision equipments are more critical about power requirements etc than our consumer audio equipments, its funny to see these machines only use generic power cables hehe

im more concern about the power supply inside than the cable powers it,,,
