tube depot having some sales on mogami cables biggrin.gif

http://www.tubedepot.com/shieldedwire.html

Any one can teach me to use those cables with only 1 conductor? It's called IC cable but why only 1 conductor? Mono?

If anyone interested I might start a bulk.

yes, mono IC,,, like phono/rca

those mogami capacitance quite high--~35pf/ft (just saying, not critical for short cables anyway)

youre looking for coax now?

if youre planning a bulk, id recommend canare LV-77S for coax (phono IC)

or canare L-2E5/ L-4E5C (stereo IC), many shops @ jln pasar can order, just need to get enough people/interest

here ya go! housing is large enough so going to give it a shot

actually a bit dilemma'd I could make it into single side entry but hmmm...

things for me to consider

1. Single side entry
2. RCA or Mono 3.5mm
3. Will the extra parts behind the driver affect the sound quality?

ging, $$$/premium/best quality plugs are only useful when match w/ same level jacks
how many time we see expensive plugs/cables connected to oem/rm2 jacks hehe
change the jacks on equipment too ging,go best/premium allthe way

Where can I get good quality jacks? My previous jacks died on me in days.

which jacks,nys240?nys240 is the best mate for nys231
channel signal loss is a sign of a subpar solder job
id polish solder skill 1st before invest on premium stuffs
*
not even neutrik yawn.gif it looks like some generic jack but cost about RM3 each. I've never had any problems when soldering cables before i even changed the cables a few times...not gonna buy jacks from ther anymore...anyone know where i can get strain relief's?

edit: considering getting this

http://www.doublehelixcables.com/store/ind...products_id=115

also if i purchase straight for marketek l4e6s chipping is like rm300 zZz sad though...60m of cable for RM300+ until shipping kicked me in the balls.

Finally....finished making my RCA-mini interconnect and recabled my MS1i with the cable I previously used with my superlux and made a Y-split cable which works(though not pretty and probably not going to post it)!!!!

the beshtest sommer for stereo IC is probly sommer cicada so-d14

http://www.sommercable.com/2__produkte/2__...__200_0451.html

handy/lightweight enough, ultra flexible, low capacitance, straw thin OD 2.6mm------- but AFAIK not available locally

so I settled w/ canare L-2B2AT (comparable profile to the cicada, probably better shielding, rm3.50/mtr---)

p/s: if youre thinking of doing bulk for the cicada, I want in, sommer roll is 100m oni vs canare 200m  brows.gif
*
so it's dual core? shield as ground? 100m is how much?

also looking for some good cables prolly around RM8 and below per meter for making IC,mini-mini,mini-rca

cant find the mini usb and micro usb needed to make the cable T.T

anyone can DIY one for me for below RM30? I felt like buying from jaben RM30 but the cable that died on me within a few months was from jaben and I doubt I want to buy from them again.
