there are cheaper one. but the quality same as what jalan pasar offer. those computer sleeve.
but. it's best u can organise a bulk. or some one in canada/ usa to help out
the quality of techflex is much different.
and local computer sleeve is not heat tolerance. which when u using heatshrink on it. it will MELT.

hm.. i personally don't have so low cost one.
as banana plug each, is around RM 16. and u need at least 8 for 1 pair speaker cable.
cost for plugs alone is almost the price already lol...
those jalan pasar banana plug sound sucks to my ear.
no matter u use how good the cable. it will sound harsh.

Do u really get the deep bass and tonal expression if the high grade speaker cable is used? from your experience, is it worthwhile and can u tell the difference in the cables.

definitely yes. else why i spend so much on my cable as well as my setup?
and to be honest. all my cable ARE tonality balanced. and preferably balanced bass.

so basically.. having nice bass , and tonal balance is a BASIC factor in making my cable. those cable which produce only treb / blur bass are FAILURE product and i don't sell those things. i rather use those cable to hang my cloth rather then sell it.
u can ask those friend who familiar with me, that did i ever produce a cable that is lean to either bright/ bassy sound?
=P
even Qable 6N pure silver cable (solid core) failed for my personal preference. and it is not even sell to any single customer, due to it's bass respond. it's bright, it's detail . but it's bass is sucks imho. and my personal tuned cable that i am selling now is FAR better than that.
there's one forumer yesterday meet me up in KLCC. to test out a silver cable and a copper cable which he interested to buy.
he also can be a judge for the cable.. NOTE: he is using a super sexy "sleek-SA6" earphone.

I just wonder how you test the cable to such degree you can discern clear distinction between accurate base and that is muddled. do u use those audiophile cd /v demonstration cd or u have some instrument to check .

yes
for both vocal/ bass/ treble i have a few XRCD disc.and then i will test the overall musicality on my setup. both speaker and headphone.
=)

i usually test bass with Drum & Track Disc from sheffield Lab LIM XRCD.

for your reference.
current favorites test disc :

The sheffield Lab Drum & Track Disc LIM XRCD2.
Andrea Bocelli : Amore (USA Version)
Russel Watson : Amore Musica (German Version)
Mary Black : The collection ( Dublin Version)
Mary Black : No Frontiers ( Dublin Version)
Susan Wong : Someone Like You (SACD)
Jennifer Warnes : The Hunter (EC Version)
TakeDake with Neptune : Asian Roots (Denon Test Disc, USA version)
Denon HifiString (Denon Test Disc, USA Version)
Julio Iglesias : L'homme gue je suis (German Version)
Josh Groban : Josh Groban (USA version)
Josh Groban : Closer (EU Version)
Josh Groban : Awake (EU Version)
蔡琴&鲍比达:遇见 XRCD2
蔡琴:机遇 淡水小镇原声带 XRCD2
王菲 : 天空 (XRCD2)




for stereo-stereo mini cable for portable use. i will use IM716, audio technica M30. and HD580. the first two will be test as analytical. while HD580 will test for overall "enjoyable" or not.

some times. for RCA-RCA / speaker cable. iwill bring the specific cable to CMY audio or Perfect Hifi to test it out with proper hifi setup. according to the price range. which usually around RM 8-15K. and compare it to Zu cable / Transparent lowest end cable / VDH cable. while CMY audio can test Siltech. audioquest, and QED. =)

i am hell serious when i making one cable. but not all cable i will bring to test. as some i will test on my own. then if i feel it's the best among all cable i has. i will bring to different setup in friends house (coolerthings , yuheng) or different hifi shop friend place to test it out.
to know how is my cable compared to other cable. and sometime to show my hifi shop friend "see? i made this.. "lol

hi pcwork.
one question here,
i been surfing the internet for ms-1 re-cable matter last time, all i have read is that recabled ms-1 doesn't give significant change in sound.
So i wonder, have you experience recable the ms-1 that greatly improved the sound quality?

yes
MS1 recable DID improve A LOT.
i did bring one recabled MS1 to the previous speaker gathering. and there's a lot of ppl shocked by it's performance.
the cable to recable is canare cable. it suit the taste of MS1.
