Hi. So after building my first Cmoy i want to build a custom wire to hook up my ZuneHD  to it and need some recomendations. First off how good are these plugs?

This plug will be used to connect to the zune and as well as a replacment for the plug on my ImageS4

This plug will be used to connect to the Cmoy. 
 

 

The next question is what is a good wire to use? I would like to use it also to replace the wiring in my cmoy if possible. I dont need more then a 12-25 foot spool or if possible even less as I know good wires are expensive... (I dont want to spend more then 10-20$ per spool) 

 

If possible could you link me to the parts you suggest from same vendor? Thanks.

 

One final question. What is good polypropelyne input cap that have 1uF capacitance and can fit into an altoids tin for the Cmoy? Is polypropelyne much inprovement over maylar thin film caps?

 

Thanks.

Both connectors are neutrik, how bad can they be? Seriously, they will be fine.

I buy my wire from here:

Good quality, decent price, great service (John is easy to work with). He will work with you and sell you any length you want/need. Get the Teflon coated, very easy to work with and very durable.

just dont try to use it for headphone cables. the stuff is the most microphonic wire i've ever come across. also, dont let the name fool you, not one single thing he has is silver wire. silver plated wire yes, silver wire no.

 

I wouldnt be expecting much change in a CMOY, their power to resolve is limited at best.
