I'm using 20 AWG silver-plated, teflon coated wire. I bought a thousand feet so even after my headphone re-cable, I still have a small amount availible to use.

Which would be audibly better?

4Way Litz Braided Cable using teflon coated silver plated copper stranded wire?

Or

Starquad Cabling?

Both are good, but I'd think the silver-plated would have the edge in overall sound-quality.

You mean Litz braided?

I would go with your own cable for sound quality. If you have big problems with interference the starquad cable might be better though.

Dear All,
This my first time DIY wires, just using cheap silver wires and cheap connectors.



A question to dear highflyin9, where you got the beautiful orange headphone cable clip(or it call cable holder)? I can not find it in Taiwan, would you please tell me where can find them? It looks very useful !!!

Happy New Year 2005 to all!

Is there such a thing as "cheap" silver wire?

Hi End pure silver wires were very expansive in Taiwan, almost of them were 10 times expansive then I used.
So, I found these "cheap" silver wires (3.1 USD per meter) for training. :allteeth:
