No physical shop?

Any recommendations for cables? Star quad l4e from the previous posts is that good?

I'm having trouble finding plugs...cant find it in Radioshack or Ace Hardware the only place I can find Canare plugs and cables are on ebay...can canare stuff be found at jalan pasar?

How much for the cable?

prolly going to drive there cool I might but like 4 meters than

after realizing canare f-12 plugs are expensive...any other recommendations for plugs?

im sure they're good but right now im buying a superlux 668b and the cables are faulty so im going to DIY one. Does neutrick,canare etc. have 3.5 female plugs?

is it true they cost like rm20+ each? because thats what I read...

hey guys what do you use to shrink your heatshrink? mine is like 125C and a hair dryer aint working and using the soldering iron makes it look really ugly

mmm done with my cable and tested with the superlux 668b stock cable was a lot more smoother and the cable i made was a lot more aggresive, not sure if just me but i can hear big difference.

stock = instruments more obvious
DIY = neutrik and canare l4e6s = vocals more obvious (highs become a lot more stronger and a little harsh)

Here you go though I need to find a way to fix the female mini part where some of the wire exposed because i cut my heatshrink too short

The reason is that the female mini couldnt fit the cable sleeving and its the only one they had so I had to strip off more of the sleeving and cover it with heatshrink.

i see...any other cables you can recommend l4e6s are like RM10/meter? I'm looking into Belden but I can't seem to find which model/code number im suppose to find. And where can I find techflex to make sleeving look nicer, and how do i use it?

alright thanks

Also anyone got a guide for making a 3.5mm to 1/8" cable? I've followed a guide on headfi for 3.5mm to 3.5mm but I don't know where to solder for 3.5mm to 1/8". I've decided I don't want use an adapter to connect my headphone to my future amp which only has a 1/8" port.

And also xD from the 4 wires of the L4E6S i've been lucky to get left and right wires correctly the first time but I don't think my luck will last that long. What's a way to figure which is left or which is right for the other end instead of resoldering.

can give me the steps? because first time using multimeter haha sorry for the trouble

so i went at went to do a stereo left to right test...if sound come out from both sides does it mean i did it wrong?

and when i use audacity both drivers have sound when only in right channel and no sound in either when in left channel
