the issue is...

any recommendation?

yeah.....
canare plug is good.
neutrik plug is also ok...<quite cheap...made in china

tat mean canare F-10 or neutrik NF2C-B/2 lo...
got it..
will do more research...
thx for ur help lo..

theres a F10 in JP..
neutrik not sure the code name hehe

Canare F10 RCA plugs and Canare L-4E6S (4-core shielded) cables are available locally in Jalan Pasar and a few other shops among with a few other models from Canare. theres even an audiophile shop in 1 Utama that sells them albeit more expensive than Jalan Pasar.

the 2 models mentioned above are the more popular for DIY cables in the Canare product line for DIY cables. that and also the L-2T2S 2-core shielded cables.


*take note of how i typed the model numbers... there are fake Canares out there which I have found... can check my post HERE to see the differences.


@maxwelx64
i used THIS as my guide to DIY cables.

actually theres also a DIY cable thread in this subsection....do a search and u should be able to find it.

id also recommending checking out the DIY cable galley @ Head-Fi HERE to see what u can do with ur cables. there are quite a number of sexy ones there...

canare plugs are pretty decent.

If you want something that is reasonably priced and will break someone's skull, try the switchcrafts, never fails to impress me.

Later i will check tis out...


u giv me a lot of information!!
tq very much...

Tat fake canare's name is "CANERE" too...hahaha..
Tat several links are very useful...
thx for ur help...
Later i collect enough information then will start my 1st audio cable diy...
the L-4E6S got 4 wires inside right? then i juz nid to use 2 wires for signal and ground?



switchcrafts is quite ok too..
thx for ur infromation o..

use 2 wire for each side and shielding for ground

usually wat i do is.....

1 wire for right... 1 wire for left... balance 2 wires for ground... and the shield either leave it alone...or solder to the ground at the source side only. this is to ensure that any interference the shield picks up is transferred back to the source and is does not output at the speakers.


or can also do like wat CV6149 said.

ur means are 1 cable>>4 connectors like tis?


or like tis?

since u making rca....

1 cable 4 connectors

This post has been edited by CV6149: Mar 13 2009, 04:25 PM

i will prefer 1 cable 2 connector..
feel more cool on that...
then, can i connect 2 wires on signal, 2wires on ground?

check madman post earlier....

got it..
will twist 2 wires for signal or ground..
Learn a lot of things here...
tq all of u...

Added on March 14, 2009, 10:06 amAnybody noe wer can buy silver solder and wat is the price?
and, does anybody use LM4562?

This post has been edited by maxwelx64: Mar 14 2009, 10:06 AM

Don't use Silver solder. It's really not worth it due to it's higher melting point and the pain in the ass to stick. There is no substantial improvement either and it usually kills quality instead because of the difficulty to produce consistent results.

use high quality euthethic blends.

63/37 lead solder?
got more choice for lead free?
will use that if really no choice..

what's wrong with having a little lead

Anyway, you can try the Kesters 63/37

I use the Kester 245 myself.

save earth..
however i juz use little coz not always soldering...
so it is ok too..
haha...



Any people has comment on LM4562?
