nah..it juz for fun...after all...i see there;s person over headfi do da same thing to...using those small wires...

i had made one of those too.
but i put all three wire inside a 1mm heat shrink tube , then shrink the tube to hold those cable tightly.
workings so far, quite durable too as the heat shrink is quite hard after shrink.

how ever, i tested it comparing to Canare L2T2S. and found out,
Bass is heavier than L2T2S, but a bit muddy...and soundstage is quite big different.
but for it's price, it can be consider sound good already .=P

PcWork... any significant change if the cans do a recabling work?

I was thinking if i'm gonna get u do the mini jack cabling to connect the ipod to my amp using jacks.

might as well ask u to recable my grado sr60 cable as well.

need opinion about this.

on my philips HP890. pair with canare L-2T2S. the sound stage is wide, treble is much more better. clarity and detail too.
bass some how not so boomy. but tight.

my mini digital IC for my upcoming SB3

after sleeving
the cable really look bling bling

One question about coax interconnects... if I want to use BNC plugs, does that mean the RCA output-input plugs have to be changed too?

alamaklor. how many layer techflex u put?
damn shining man. hahaha
nice cable. and nice handwork.

how'd you connect it otherwise?

2 layer of techflex, 1 X Mylar metallic silver, 1 X carbon. all my cables will look like that

I was hoping BNC plugs would "fit in" RCA plugs anyway xD or is it the other way around? Cables using RCA to fit into BNC plugs... or do both sides need to be BNC

most of the time people use BNC simply because it is more secure. You can DIY a converter or reterminate your cable. It'd be best to either reterminate the cable, or buy/make another one.

here's a pair of 12" Interconnect I just made. It's made of 4 X 20AWG solid core silver plated copper braided with following geometry, and terminated with yarbo silver plugs:

really look damn nice... wow....

hey guys.....anyone used network cables and turn them into audio cables??

was thinking of making since i have some spare network cables in the office and i have nuttin better to do....

been reading up on it online..but those are kinda insane... going up to the point of braiding 27 pairs

i was thinking of maybe using 8 pairs to build a mini - mini. anyone has any idea as to which cables to use as ground and which cables for right and left??? thanks

actually nakamichi sound space 1 is using LAN cable. as speaker cable.

nakamichi??? and they charge a bomb....sheesh.... hehehe

but i need to know which wire goes where.... friggin blur reading all the stuffs online.... with the cancellation thingy and this and that la....

Made a 1.5m RCA -> 3.5mm cable for a friend, terminated with lok silver point locking connectors and canare on the other end. How much do you think this is worth? Pm me with your suggestion and if anybody's looking for some serious custom cables, do pm me as well. I usually use 12 AWG silver plated copper cables with a particular geometry for my cables

OMG. man. this is seriously good...
=)~
is that
1 X Mylar metallic silver, 1 X carbon ?
the first picture really shiny.
alamak. carbon different with black? i bought only black =(

my small project, changing cheapo black & red wire with canare L2T2S for my speaker (terminal)

sound quality richness

thanz to pcwork for helping me

my first ever DIY cable...

i needed a really short splitter so i decided to make one myself for the heck of it.

used 4 pairs of CAT5 cable (twisted), cheapo female minis and a metal housing male mini... all plugs below RM4 each. they dont have any good ones near my house and i aint that free to go jalan pasar...so itll do..

also sleeved it with UV reactive purple cable sleeves cap uglyvamp

i know it aint much compared to the rest here...but it works! sound wise... i dont hear any difference
