Silver cable, gold plated plugs for amplifier to notebook or player. Friend did it, because he owed me a favour. The sound was good, I was really amazed by the difference.

canare. neutrik

call me up though, might able to arrange a time in mamak nearby to KTM serdang.
then we can talk somethings about DIY cable. lol.


that's very neat piece of the cable u had there.. i oso wanna test. hahah


actually yes. but sort of very busy lately. so have to halt and wait for some free time.
everyday work in lab until 2am-4am.. sleep , then wake up around 8-9am , continue to work until second day midnight.. sucks my life..
lately. i just mostly do cable and pass to yuheng to sell.
there's some cable at yuheng hand to let go.i placed some VDH calbe at his place.
lately i mostly do van den hul and QED cable. because the different with my previous cable is very obvious and definately i can't switch back to my previous cable / canare cable.
reason is. i found that the canare cable sound thin. as they are mainly designed as a mic / instrument cable. hence they are that a bit lack on the lower mid , and bass section. thus giving impression of the cable sounds clear. but on extend listening. the proper hifi cable. sounds much much more balance as compare to the mic cable.
especialyl obvious on songs like flute, male vocal like josh groban, trumpet.. which require thickness of the vocal , else the result will be very fatigue listening, and the sound is thin yet sharp.

XLR and RCA can be done. but need further discussion. to see which equiptment that output/input the XLR . some equiptment can't discard the neutral wire.

just wanna ask, which cable is suitable for making IC (mini-mini, mini-RCA, mini-LOD) and headphone recable, is it Canare L-4E6S or Canare L-2T2S?? thanks

err..guys..wanna ask..this diy cable can improve sounds quality?..really need to know..

Hi guys,

I'm new to DIY and are interested to DIY a power cable for my CDP and Amp and are considering the below items:


Would deeply appreciate if members could advise me:

Where can I purchase the MK Tough Plug (silver coated/audio grade)? I noticed that farnell.com is selling the MK Tough Plug but not sure if that's the audio grade type.

Where can I purchase Wattgate 320 IEC connector in KL area? Besides Wattgate. are there any other good quality IEC connectors that I should be looking at?

Also, I have no idea how much is the plugs mentioned above..


Thanks in advance!

Off topic
Abel, how? come again to Serdang la we gather

Can I come also, I bring my blue snake.

L-4E6S = 4 core shielded cable
L-2T2S = 2 core shielded cable


so the L-4E6S would be better for a more universal application...


depending on the cables used....yes.

PcWork...is this the best of the best RCA to RCA cable you've made???? How about speaker cable....? Which is the best you've had so far...?

Wao thats nice! mind to bring your Zero DAC too? Heavy mod zero

Wattgate are not cheap price cost Rm100 ++ farnell MK tough plug is normal one but is more than enuf i prefer MK Duraplug than MK tough plug due the Tough Plug is hard to clip the cable u need some modification if u using Supra Lorad 2.5

can neutrik plug fits onto L-4E6S??

no problem i try that

I got too much free time so I made this 3m speaker cable from UTP Cat5e (4x15ft braid together). Only managed to finish one cable since after 3m braiding job my fingers all blistered

I didn't have any heatshrink or those nice braided net on hand so temporary I use electric tape to hold sections . The banana is from Audioquest and such a perfect fit. Tested with my center channel and it work as it should but too tired to tell if any difference from my Silver Anniversary XT.

All in all....its fun

at the moment. i still working hard to find a budget cable can fight D102. but until now. i still not satisfied with the performance. i think it can't fight.
i can best only get better result than QED Qunex 4S cable with cheaper price. but D102 i can't find a single cable available sounds better and cheaper.
speaker cable . i am using QED Xtube 350 now. which i think the van haus CAT5 briading cable has very similar performance. except in the sound stage projection. CAT5 cable tend to have loosen edge of the sound. while QED is more pin point accurate.

that's EXACTLY why i loved VDH cable dude. i don't even can catogories their sound. they can be seriously warm when needed. and can be seriously crispy when treble. very very musical and emotional when listening to VDH. and imho. the dynamic of the cable improve continuestly until now for my D102.

PcWork what kinda cable you make said to be better than the QED Qunex 4S?
