What are you going to use that cable for wor? You have a balanced headphone that uses 4 pin XLR but you only have a headphone amp that uses 1/4'' plugs?
it's a stereo to mono connection..... DIY DIY cable, Pictures of DIY cables

QUOTE(AlamakLor @ Oct 13 2006, 01:18 AM) Almost all Josh Groban's cd i've heard clips...the recording is surprisingly poor...and for these crap recordings..I'd just keep them in lossy to save spaces. which album? second one?I recently acquired a limp bizkit album that I used to listen to...wow jesus....it clips and distorts like crazy...I couldnt recall that it sounds so damn crappy. if second one yes. but first one doesn't have clips on my headphone. perhaps not high end enough to show the clipping. but once i bring it to hifi shop. and it sounds all right. very smooth. |

QUOTE(mADmAN @ Oct 28 2006, 06:32 PM) @PCWork lol. i myself looking for F-12. there's around 18 orders for stereo to RCA cable in my PM. and yet i can't find F-12 to make the cable for them.wat mini plug u using for those headphones bro? and where u get the cable sleeves? also, do u happen to have any spare F12 plugs that can sell to me? looking for 3 pieces if u have. i made 2 mini-rcas to test wth my newly acquired icute battery II headamp this one is with unknown cheapo plugs + unknown 4-core shielded cable ![]() finally decided to get my hands on ORIGINAL Canare L-4E6S ![]() red shrink is for right and the blue+white cable is actually shrinked with clear heatshrink meant for left. plugs are Canare F10. mini is a 24k gold plated Radioshack plug. yes yes i know radioshack plugs sux but they didnt have the F12 in stock. so i used this plug which i bought while i was in San Francisco a few weeks back. =) no time also. the gold plug i use is same with yours, radio shack one. but mine is sort of heavier version, in the shop i buy, there is two plug, which look exactly the same,one with poorer quality is very light. and mine is slightly more heavy than a REAN plug. IMHO. the plug quality is quite ok, compare to REAN. but quite a distance from F-12. i myself got 4F-12 reserved, which is paid by customer long long long time ago, but he haven't come and collect it. =) sleevE? i got from alamaklor. |

QUOTE(mADmAN @ Oct 29 2006, 07:06 PM) its a sunday, im free. and i had nuttin better to do. so i made another mini-rca to test with my headamp (that makes it 3 cables to test!!) brother, don't bother to use those fake canare.. IMHO and my comparison, the quality is huge different, and i throw my remaining 2 meter away. so that it does not waste my plugs.![]() ![]() mini is a cheapo plug. the RCA is some cheap china brand "Choseal" supposedly a "Super Pure Copper Connector" as stated on the packaging. bough it in Darson in Jalan Pasar... 1 pack of 4 is RM19.70. there are more expensive ones but i didnt bother with those. cable is a fake of the Canare L-2T2S. labelled as Canere L2T-2S. yes.. its spelled with an E and the "-" in the model number is in the wrong place under the clear heatshrink, the silver cables u see spiralling around the blue and white RCA cable is actually the shield. took me some time to unbraid it. used it as ground on the mini side. but did not terminate it on the RCA side (should i have terminated it?? its a uni-directional cable anyway) |

QUOTE(yeahs4.1 @ Oct 30 2006, 02:21 PM) y use 2 starquad for this interconnect? aint 1 is enough since it has 4 connector inside, 1 for each rca signal( left and right channel ) and the other 2 for ground? can i use 2 L-2T2S cables for this interconnect? QUOTE(yeahs4.1 @ Oct 30 2006, 06:40 PM) how about if i use 1 L-4E6S to make a pair of RCA to RCA? it looks more tidy and save cost.. if u use 1 L-4E6S. of course won't be tidy as you need to open it up, and redo the shield.how about the quality compared using 2 X L-2T2S? from what i read from the canare technical specification, (a thick book canare gaved me.) i prefer to do double L-4E6S =P reason? i feel it should be better from my calculation in capacitance. but how much better i not sure as it is only merely meter, while the data were calculated with 100 meter length. u can use L-2t2s for it also, and according to the shop, it MIGHT better for VIDEO RCA, as each 2t2s contain 60 strain of copper thin wire, while 4E6S is only 40 strain. =P u can try it out which one better. but from what i test, 4E6S sounds not bad in the dual configuration. so i didn't borther in testing 2t2s. i got use 2t2s as stereo cable. not bad also, the shield use as ground channel. 4E6S and 2t2s different is, 4e6s is starquad, and teorically as said in the book, it eliminate the magnetic resonance better than 2t2s as it is 4 wire twisted. but from graph of frequency respond, 2t2s, and 2b2at (thin) is better in higher end, treble. so which one u prefer, it's actually up to you. edit : and i use dual 4e6s as cosmetic and durabilities also. beccause with f-10, u can clamp the canare black wire, if u split it, where u wanna clam? on the thin inner wire? and it does look so "not durable" as big big plug connected with two small wire only. hehehehe i don't prefer that, and i don't wanna sell somethings that's not durable either... if u don't wanna mess on 4e6s i strongly recommend u to try 2X 2T2S, as that is what recommended in canare book for RCA plug.

post some picture later.
just try not to over heat it. and F-10 is so far one of the not bad quality plug with cheap price. built quality is nice.. and i like it's colour and shape too. compare to neutrik which have some plastic part.. =P just personal liking. |

QUOTE(yeahs4.1 @ Nov 6 2006, 10:38 PM) spent 45 minutes on this, my 1st DIY RCA-RCA cable is successfully made, jz like the way pcwork recommended me, using 2 X 2meter of L-4E6S + 4 Canare F-10. cable was bought from amirsubhi. thx lots dudes nice job you've done there. looks pretty. =)i use some shrink tube to hold the 2 wires together. how much i wished that techflex is cheaper and easily available in malaysia.. p/s : amirsubhi, i want 3 biji.. hehe.. do some review how it sound compare to previous cable? and techflex i don't think suitable for that, it will make it fat, and rough. some more, where are you gonna put techflex? splitting part X2 , joining part X1 , splitting part X2? u still have to use heatshrink at the joining part. and too extreme loh. for me this look is the best, looks not so normal, but not so crazy. and performance wice is good. =P |

i got one.. imho.. f-12 worth more lah.. haha
i will only buy if the price is roughly RM 8 include shipping. else not very worth as it can't take 4E6S this kind of fat cable except u cut the rubber part off. sound quality wise, no different with f-12, built quality,, f-12 better. one of my old f-12 kena grind over by office chair with wheel.. still steady, and the plug is straight. no bend or tukar shape. only the body there has one very minor scratch... hahaha... still using it. no weired feeling with plug it in and out.... no short circuit also, checked and confirmed with multimeter.

last time, my first batch of cable is using solder gun one.
i suggst you use candle... heat it above candle and turn it around, try to do it on a pen instead of the cable first, until u can shrink it nicely. then use it on cable. |
