I can do. PM me

sometimes sound better. I change because I like DIY stuff. can change the looks he he.

mostly cable I find from jalan pasar or go online find from US. plugs jalan pasar or rs Malaysia & element14

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.

guys any idea where can i find cheap plugs (<RM10) and wires? i went to hardware store but they only got wires for socket (with 3 wires inside). actually i just need the cables to plug in laptop to the amp, which has different sized plug. i bought those around rm10 cables + adapter from pc store but those very lousy, will be faulty after a few weeks/days of usage as i plug it in/out a lot.
the size of the plug from laptop is 3.5mm (i think?) and the one going into amp should be 1/4 (not sure also for this)..

You need a 3.5mm to RCA i guess...hmm if DIY you can get from jalan pasar but less than RM10 i dun think u can make good cable...
Rean 3.5mm plug cost you around RM3-4/each
Rean RCA if i am right should be around RM5-8/each
Canare L-2B2AT cable around RM3.50-4.50/meter

Alternative is go for China plastic no brand plug cost around RM0.50 each

Alternative is straight buy a ready made cable from lowyat or RadioShack but wont be <RM10

my RM10, is for plugs only, so the one you suggested pretty good for me
found the rean plugs in element14..
whr's jalan pasar? how do you know the name of the cables???

thanks!

I see~then it will be easier to make a good cable =)
Jalan Pasar is located in Pudu, Kuala Lumpur. If i am not mistaken you from Sarawak?hmm
Cause I go there quite frequent and make cable to sells therefore will know some info of it.

lulz..Then where can I buy one in Sarawak? XD
Any chance for hardware store to sell it? Went to some hardware store and PC store but couldn't find suitable cables for audio..

If I want to buy the cable, the model/number of the cables will be written on the plastic?
If say I couldn't find the particular cable you mentioned, how should I choose a good one? I've searched around on Google and seems like many ppl are recommending Canare Cables, it would be fine right if it's Canare Cable also (with reasonable price, not dirt cheap) but different model? And just now after I did some research only I know that audio got 3 cables inside
Are there any need for heatsink tubing? I only have solder at home, no heatshrinks..

Uh not sure about Sarawak
Some of it are printed on the cable itself some are not but mostly yes
Many brand in the market, you can go around in this thread and have plenty of them.

may I know what is the advantages of silver cable?
I thought it has bad resistance?

Silver is a better conductor than copper as it has less resistivity, and higher conductivity than copper.

Well the Canare L4E6S/L4E5C has 4 wires. Another would be the Mogami W2893/W2534.

it is known that silver cables "may" make your headphones sounds brighter. believe or not is up to you it's a really subjective topic. but yeah it makes a difference.

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.

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..


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?

Element14 will arrive around 3or4 days after payment done IF your stock is available in SG...if ur stock is US then might take around 1week plus...

some speaker cables are too thick to be solder, just beware on it.

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

Yea they got the same price for US and SG, just US need more time to arrive.
Their service really not bad, the first time i order i encounter some problem and they guide me very detail.
Too thick to be solder mean the speaker cable is think and need to be solder properly...

Some cables are very thick, if iron not hot enough, sekali touch, the tip gets cold.

So this was what happened to me last time, the speaker I'm working with only have jacks behind to be plugged in, not those type where you can just "screws" wire in. I want to solder the wires on the plug but the solder doesn't seems to stick on the plug, just on the cable only..

Yea~big big stuff try get atleast 60w to do the job
