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?

a bit tired of looking at the sleeve though, the sleeve same as my headphone's

removed all non important sleeve, copper shielding is too heavy.
braiding is much better than shieldings and sleeves in term of sound quality. a little bit regret that i didnt braid my usb cable.the only downside is naked wires do generate stestoscope effect when u move it. but who moves the cable while listening to music. this isnt iem so the sound wont go too loud.

pretty unsatisfied with the length though, too long for desk or portable use but too short for distanced relax listening. might as well make it shorter for desk use and make extension for distanced relax listening

after looking at PCWork's cables, i feel my cable so noob Rebraided it, 8 wires in perfect and 4 wires... need some guidance



The 8 wire part been mess up a lot of time, from 12am to 6am, and today 7pm to 11pm, finally done.
tomorrow take DSLR take some bling bling
may need some sleeve to reduce noise when move the cable
The sound signature quite weird when pair with my D2000 though, but i like it. If pair with some flat frequency headphone will


btw any one know how to get cotton sleeve like stock D2000?

some bling bling
bad lightning and background may bring outside take with grass after sleeving
the wire is very very stiff doesn't affect listening but hard to take their picture

99.999995% OCC Copper with super soft isolator. sounds so much better compared to previous ones, personally don't like silver cables sound signature at all

yes 8 braid bro, must get ready myself and fast+focus finish it, i actually a little bit tired of braidings, prefer sleeve now
