as usual, a pair of RCA-RCA with marking for unidirectional purposes

a pair of 1/4 MONO-RCA for EMU1212M

i mean, i know it's RCA terminated at one side, but not the other side. it may be mono-rca, or mini-rca. and of course it's darn obvious that it's coax cable. lol!

Errm, my Sony Eggo's recently went kaput, as the right hand side can won't make a squeak.

So I'm hoping a cable change would help both fix this problem and also improve the sound quality, is there anyone here that is willing to help me?

We can negotiate a price for both workmanship + materials. Please help, I do love my cans.

post some pictures will greatly help smile.gif

by the way, there are 2 possibilities in your case:
1. the connection points are disconnected/loose. resolder will solve your problem. you might opt for recable to improve the quality.
2. your driver is burnt, even recable cant save your cans.

hmm.. IINM, i've never see any 4S11 at pasar road.. but if you wanna get them at pasar road, the only distributor is IC Electronics, which carries genuine product of Canare. so, no worries mate..

by the way, you should head there and ask if they can order for you since you want in large quantity

first attempt of braiding cables, with SPC for a friend. you know who you are. LOL~

here comes the RCA-RCA that cost the most (for me, at least) and requires a lot of my patience/work. hopefully they'll sound good as the price tag.
