cool down tube amp components to extend lifespan
capacitors only have 5000hour@105C lifepsan
i dun mind the tube or transformer too hot

also, without the fan the hot air comes towards me

not sure should i ask this here... if wrong location, moderator please help me to move to the right place

the picture shows my DIY power filter (diagram)...?
now the problem is my family complains the power filter EXTREMELY UGLY, but i dun have art talent at all,
how should i design to make the power filter more beautiful?
the cable will connect to ceiling, theres a wire casing so i will connect the following cable to there,
currently temporary using cheap plug to listen to music (where the cable connected too, temporary)

maybe use heatshrink or anything else? please guide me

thanks for ur point but my family doesnt complain the equipment are ugly, just the power cord and filter



edit : decided to get arcylic casing, thanks

hi, may i ask why people always do alot of shielding on rca cables, or any cable that do connection between pc to dac, or dac to amp, preamp blahblahblah
then do no shielding on headphone cables?

oh, thank you very much for quick reply, was doing online shopping and figuring about it

going to buy poison thing together in 1 time from china since i going to buy larger casing for my dac from there
or i will keep spend my savings nonstop

Hi, heres my plan, I plan to make 2 meter cable for my D2000k
The cable will solder into 6.35mm plug and another side to headphone with 4% silver solder cream
Because my tube amp output is 6.35mm so i don't want any adapter between them


Any recommendations? Anything after 3mm sleeving will "stop" when the left/right cable split their way
I use thick anti vibration layer because this cable (silver plated teflon OCC) have stethoscope effect. I don't mind its thick or heavy

thanks for remind
hmm, have any recommendation for this design, if this design already good, then i will go for it

diameter 8mm, 3mm when split to left/right (without anti vibration layer)

loose cable i'll post here for sure
its extra cable from people wounding high end transformer, the shorter the cheaper (1meter $3 3meter $15)


edit : total 8mm, loose cable 1mm*4

After reading here i decided to changed my design. What should i use to fit those empty spaces? Also, is braiding required in this situation?



EDIT: DECIDED DON'T USE 8MM SLEEVE.

yeah. i mentioned i've read this design :
http://www.canare.com/UploadedDocuments/Cat11_p35.pdf
Splitting the core can greatly reduce noise. there are graph inside
Also, making cable like this can let me feel better because the L/R are totally splitted, just like RCA cables

Can remove if its not nessery... will decide when i see the real material

I ordered the loose cables and the package got lost in trasit...
Got fully refunded and i plan not to spend money in audio anymore

I wanna recable my D2000 again i hope the parcel wont lost again

Now my plan still quadstar design with silver plated OCC copper loose cable (0.4mm)

(4*0.4mm silver plated OCC copper wire -> 1.5mm² copper shield -> 3mm sleeve) *2(L/R) -> 6mm² copper shield -> 8mm sleeve with cotton

BTW i have around 2meter 6mm² copper shield for sale anyone interested
