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..  blush.gif
Thanks in advance!

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

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.

hi i just DIY one D102 Mk3 with Neutrik Profi i can source a very good price we can share some information normally u free on weekend ?
and currently i using VDH Royal Jade speaker cable quite good price also VDH sound very nice very musical and warm and it wont lack of detail and this cable give the live of the music (got emotion) can say not very warm or dynamic i say neutral ... tongue.gif
