Got a question to ask..noob here.
Why do you guys need to recable your headphones? Does it sounds better??
And where do you guys get your cables and plugs? I tried searching in the google for cables but couldn't find anything..

guys any idea where can i find cheap plugs (<RM10) and wires? i went to hardware store but they only got wires for socket (with 3 wires inside). actually i just need the cables to plug in laptop to the amp, which has different sized plug. i bought those around rm10 cables + adapter from pc store but those very lousy, will be faulty after a few weeks/days of usage as i plug it in/out a lot.
the size of the plug from laptop is 3.5mm (i think?) and the one going into amp should be 1/4 (not sure also for this)..

my RM10, is for plugs only, so the one you suggested pretty good for me
found the rean plugs in element14..
whr's jalan pasar? how do you know the name of the cables???

thanks!

lulz..Then where can I buy one in Sarawak? XD
Any chance for hardware store to sell it? Went to some hardware store and PC store but couldn't find suitable cables for audio..

If I want to buy the cable, the model/number of the cables will be written on the plastic?
If say I couldn't find the particular cable you mentioned, how should I choose a good one? I've searched around on Google and seems like many ppl are recommending Canare Cables, it would be fine right if it's Canare Cable also (with reasonable price, not dirt cheap) but different model? And just now after I did some research only I know that audio got 3 cables inside
Are there any need for heatsink tubing? I only have solder at home, no heatshrinks..

Guys, in my previous post, I said I will be making a DIY Cable for PC to Amp connection (3.5mm to 6.35mm), problem is I couldn't find any audio cable in my town. Most I found is the Orange-Red colored speaker wire that comes with 4 wires sticked together, would that be okay to be used for my connections?
The wire looks something like this..


Btw, anyone here always buy things from Element14? How long does it normally arrives? The 6.35mm plug I found there is not available in the SG warehouse, but in US warehouse, will it take very long to reach me?
If the 3.5mm plug is from SG, and 6.35mm plug is from US, do they send them together or will be separated?

From US or SG both also same price for delivery right?? Now go the free delivery if I'm not mistaken..

What do you meant by too thick to be soldered?




Btw, Element14 have really good customer service LOL. Few days ago I received a call from them in Singapore, just to tell me that if I got any problem I can call their hotline number

So this was what happened to me last time, the speaker I'm working with only have jacks behind to be plugged in, not those type where you can just "screws" wire in. I want to solder the wires on the plug but the solder doesn't seems to stick on the plug, just on the cable only..

guys i very confuse liao
so now i need to build a male to male cable to connect sound from laptop to amp.
my amp is something like this, 6.35mm jack on the left



what i'm confuse with right now is that the jack on my amp is mono or stereo??
if i buy stereo plug, will it work on the amp if say the jack is mono??
the headphone jack on laptop is confirm stereo right?


what i'm thinking now is buy 2 POMONA 6.35mm stereo plug, then 1 6.35mm to 3.5mm stereo adaptor so i can plug that into my pc

if i have a mic that's 6.35mm mono, and i want to use that on my laptop, can i use the stereo adaptor? or there won't be any sound?


the distance between from laptop to the amp will be very far, would be like 5m long...
i couldn't find any audio cable in my area, what's the worst thing that could happen if i buy those cable for power from hardware store? LOL
found those speaker wire, red colored one..can be used right??

it looks something liddis

yup..

actually i'm working on the school's p.a. system, well not now but soon.. and just found out that we're no more using the old power amp but a mixer..
the old power amp only got "Mic In", but this new mixer got "Balanced or Unbalanced" and "Mono"
does the "Bal or Unbal" means stereo can be used?

also sometimes we will use the old amp also in some other places..so if possible i like to make the cable to be mono..but the one into the pc must be stereo, so it's male-male but stereo-mono
can i do something liddis? i connect the signal cable together from the stereo (left & right become 1 cable), then to the mono i just connect them together..
sorry if my explanation very hard to understand, i'm bad at explaining

here's the new mixer
