if youre going diy route, Id recommend a male-male y-splitter cable made to length like below,,,,,
straight connect point to point w/o the need of female plug inbetween
simpler,better------

Mmm going to recable my earphones soon deciding between EST MP-012LN or Neutrik NPT3RC...RM17 for 5pcs EST while RM20 for 1pc neutrik...

any advice?

maybe 1amp few speakers not enough

same here
dunno what plug to use...might be Neutrik NTP3RCB or just normal Rean plug LOL

i need right angle so have to choose form those 2

Anyone know what are good budget connectors for making power cables?

i suggest not to go for EST right angle. Neutrik have better body build

why bigass metal plugs?
+ robust
+ good for outdoor/pro use (roadshow/concert rigs)
- overkill if use w/ jacket removed/minimal protection wires (diyer trend)
- price

why plastic plugs?
+ low mass/paperweight
+ good for indoor/normal use
+ price
- unassuming looks/ not fancy/pimping enough hehe

which is better? depends on purpose/application,,,,,

but the table has turned these few years,,, purists now favored low mass, minimal metal, ultra thin, skinny cables

malu² lesismo rca IC





plugs - Eichmann Bulletplugs
cables - 30ga solid core pure copper + Teflon tubing
basically its an antidote of mainstream cables-----low mass, skinny, non-braided and non-shielded simplicity

Wow this is actually very very very nice but if only 2 RCA is female

ive spare EST MR-568M (rca male), MR-569M (rca female) & canare L-2B2AT wire, together I can make something like this



I can make the cable and give it to you if interested,,,,

you've found the wire?

How is the quality??

Hmmmm wait I get my Sub first hahah

not locally sadly ordering from UK and having a friend bring it back in the future. The Belden 19364

im hearing some type of noise but still cant seem pin point it other than PC>DAC

sound quality?
its transparent sounding like theres no cable
Ive tested the canare wire as a mini extension cable,,,,,sound remain the same with/without it inbetween so the wire pass my sq test
I also tested the est+canare splitter combo, connected to an rca IC, couldn't tell the difference when the ic connected directly/using splitter,,,,

what sub

why shielded? you experience electrical noise?

if moving audio ic away from power source/transmission doesnt work,i dont think shieldedchord will solve it

have you try contacted fajar/mega/mitti etc. ask for reseller in your area? most reputable local cable are certified by suruhanjaya tenaga,,,,making hundreds kV industry std wires so------

usb is buffered data transmission, cables wont make a difference, this is one project that depends on ones soldering skill than materials,,,,
any generic 4-core wires will do, ~2.50/mtr,,,,all d besh

how long? I think ive spare,,,,

malu² simpli5 3.5 IC ver5.5



plugs- EST MP-013MS
wire - canare L-2B2AT

was trying to maybe use it for my computer and see if it helps also getting power conditioner first before the cable to see if that works.

What wire would you guys use to make USB cables?

not for change of quality more like change of length

what about digital losses? Jitter?

Dig some of my dad old stuff found a RCA inter-connector that using Switchcraft SW3502 and Times Wire & Cable rg-122/u 07145...
cant find data on the cable...

pictar will be upload when i back home on friday

there're many papers/articles out there talked abut this, but to keep it short,,,
id worry more on the dac ps (dedicated/isolated vs usb powered,,,which 99% usb dac are)

pictar?

my DAC draws power from USB D: and I don't know whats the best way to filter it out

add a 220uf capacitor on the V+ and G
don't use a bigger value or your usb might not function properly

Hi there,

Anyone do repair work here?

My Audio Technica M50's cables are busted and I would like to replace them.

Help!

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..
