almost a year since the last post....so me bring it up again

its been almost a year since ive touched my soldering iron let alone make a cable...i was so rusty it took me 6 and a half hours to finish this RCA-RCA cable sheesh!

anyway...my latest creation...uni-directional RCA-RCA cables for use from my Fubar II USB DAC to my Battery Cute II Headamp.

Canare F10 RCA Plugs
Canare L-4E6S StarQuad
WBT Silver Solder
Sleeved with shoelaces (yes, shoelaces)




closeup of the sleeves...





didnt turn out as nice as i'd hope.....but itll still work the same

So many using L4E6S which I find is a little too bright...

It all depends on your system and also your ears..

Uh, is there improvement if i'm using coxial cable from astro and using a simple gold connector RCA. want to build component cable connect my astro to plasma. thanks

astro to plasma...ur better off using s-video cable for the video signal

but u can make for the audio cable though....although i just dont think its really worth it.

My decoder is using component cable. Thompson one. Anyway, i edy did it. Here's some pic. hehe.



Here's my 2xRCA>3.5mm cable DIY. First time DIY lol what to expect . Using cable mic one.




Total damage : RM7 just for connectors. All cables from my store

@beggarmaster2000:It's a disrespect,man.

what you young generations nowadays know is how to spend money on crap like its free, wannabe to compete with the 'seasoned audiophilers'
what i did is considered a good mod for later use....
not necessary paying tru your nose for a cable then say walau goooood mod?
your spirit of DIY has severely been affected by the poison spreading of several stupids in lauyat
WAH want some expensive mods only geng!! straight pay money send to pcworks then comeback lansi show off?

come show me your seasoned solder iron before comment about DIY

new generation when talk also like wan cari gaduh di...
dun lidat, i'm just a noob here playing your DIY stuff with you guys =)
ok lar, if you say my mod is bad i admit defeat !
MY MOD is BAD! =)

Did I say anything about your mod?
Someone spent so much time to research and do on it and mod it should deserve some respect.
I really wonder about your age,calling us new generation.
Plus,it is not crap and we don't really intend to compete.
You were the one who tried to cari gaduh first.
Before hurting anyone,think before you did before you got hurt back.
And who said must spend time on DIY?
Why not spend time on other stuffs since there are professionals to do the mods?

save the coverline for the dispute section =) lets continue looking at more mods for now

DIY is more like a passion lol... its fun because you spend time on it
trial and error to achieve what you find as the best in the very end and you might spend alot for it coz mistakes are bound to happen.. but after a harsh journey and you manage to find what you think as the best then you share it to the world.

many ppl got the DIY concept wrong ady... it is DO IT YOURSELF.. not sending to pros and make for you.. that one is known as CUSTOM .. like custom cables

bro beggar's mod is not unusual but from the pic... what i see and assume is that he wanna show the mod on the headphone and the cables might be just a test cable... of course you test the mod on something cheap first before you go and attempt on an expensive higher end stuff

Not trying to flame it further, but cat5 cable is actually pretty good stuff.
It's actually not that dis-respectful, even though it might not be exactly tactful of him.

i've decided to use my old network cable from dead modem to make new wire for my crappy headwear
anyone got any advice?
i'm relatively new to this kind of mod.... but i love the way they braid the cable together colorful and cool!
is there a guide to braiding? or just do as you please? i plan to do this tonite when i get home
