haha pretty much agreed with chernloon.. now u knew is suffering.
try to solder it just nice. cut the cable with no extra cable inside which will bend over..
then the barrer can be screw back easily....
and now u know why i said it's hard. it require quite some skill to do that. i found no problems at all using rean and starquad =P
try a few more times. u will get over it.
later when i free i snape pictures of my soldering point inside.
definately must be small and firm.


cmoy with L-4E6S as interconnect.
VERY much improve compare to my previous cmoy...

not yet. not time.
will try again then let u know. haha

estimate cost? i made mine quite cheap.
by the way. i got my third hand tools at jalan pasar for RM 9.90.
nice things.
very handy.

online order...
easily burn a big hole in ur pocket... it's more expensive than neutrik Pro-Fi...
sigh.....
i still hesitate wanna get silver LOK or not. as i think using it with canare starquad some how overkill...

at least have to get pure silver 99.999% OCC baru can match the quality of the plug....
but i hand itchy also wanna get CARDAS SRCA....

OMG.... no money... sigh.....

if u wanna get it, chernloon said don't get BLACK Lok as it is coated. easily scratch off the paint...

try find David for Zu cable.. quite ok the price.
else u can find mad man or alamaklor for really good workmanship and parts.

stereo-stereo?
i has one extra one u want? =P
but u have to bare the extra postage from sarawak to KL lah..
haha
PM me if u are serious. or i will give it to my girlfren soon... =P

hehehe i think i back off from the LOK... wanna find CARDAS SRCA now.. =P
looks damn nice.

this morning i did this cable.
with canare starquad.. =)

yeap it's ferrite ring.
i built this to test the effects on the sound.
first impression. sounds at least 95% same with Hp890.
cannot sure the different is placebo or not.
will gonna try it at night time using speaker to confirm the effects.
but according to what i read. ferrite ring has so many type, and different length contribute to different effect.. =)
i choose the longest ferrite ring available.

actually. i am gathering some info, doing some study, and plan to come out my own power cable at june.
Estimated might use wattgate if i can get with bargain price...
but recently i asked around, the price is some how quite high..

i saw CARDAS original factory terminated cable comes with ferrite rings. hence i was thinking of doing a pair of experimental cable to test the effect of ferrite rings.
however, due to different type of ferrite ring, and cardas cable might has their own "secret weapon" . my personal test might not be accurate. i just wanna try to see if the ferrite ring can improve my cable performance or not.
and it's no harm to try as it does looks sexy too.

roger. thanks for your info. will further study it. now searching over net and E&E books finding chapter regarding inductance..
hope i can learn new knowledge from there.
initial testing were using
SONY CD Player CDP-M19 -> RCA-RCA (starquad with ferrite rings) -> Mini-EPH -> Canare L-2B2AT (Custome made HP890 cable) -> HP890.

the performance is some how promising.. not sure about placebo. but definately no negative effects after add in the ferrite ring.
however, thanks empire23, more study had to be done regarding this. =)
BTW. the ferrite ring does not state any value on it, and i called the shop, they also don't know about how much the inductance value for the ferrite ring. is that a way to measure it?

Thanks pals.
hehe reading those info now.

here's a picture of the CDP and mini-eph i used to test.


Cable as shown in previous post :

really thanks for info. will be extra careful when using ferrite rings.
=)

double posted. editted.
sorry server problems at my place.

i was also wondering also, and what i think is, the good or bad is rely on the durabilities of the material, heat resistance and so on. but it's weired, scottiebaby who bought m COXIAL cable made from canare claims that there's significant improve over his old coxial cable.
but suppose coxial cable also transmiting digital signal. hence, i open up my mind which digital cable might also influence by conductance quality. and i think it's due to lower noise? (digital data got noise?)
anyone may enlighten me pls.

good job you've done man.. where do u find the cable?
i also wanna make one for my CDP
but the 3 pin plugs look a little un-match with the fat cable...
use wattgate lah.. =P

http://www.avcable.com/
u can find some nice plugs here, while not so expensive.. =P sort of replacement of wattgate also has.

kvn1080
what is the speaker cable?
looks thick and nice..
=P

Announcement for DIY Cable Club.

forumers EFN has custome made cable for sales, with Canare starquad also.
frens who interested with custome made starquad cable, do view in his thread.
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/387645

better terminate it, then seal it with heatshrink. from pictures, ur wire that exposed looks like already oxidizes..

don't get what u mean, if to know what cable is connect to which connector, then we will use multimeter to test see it is connected or not.
