I have spent the last 4 hours looking through the various threads and have not come upon a conclusion as to the best wire to use. I am looking for something that sounds better than the stock cable, and for some fun building my own.
From what I have been reading, it appears that I should be using 24AWG silver cable, then braid it myself. Is there a place that I should be looking to purchase the cable from?
If 24AWG is too large, what size should I be using?
It appears that I would need to use two MMCX Straight Male Connectors, with a 1/8" phone jack on the end. What is a little wacky is the MMCX connectors are typically for RF connections, using some type of RG Cable. Therefore, if I will be using a 4 wire braid where will I be soldering on the negative / ground wire? Or should I be crimping these connectors?
Also, should I be using the nylon sleeve to prevent damaging the cable? Will it cause "microphonic" distortion?
My budget is about $50, if this helps.
Again, sorry for this I know this must have been answered millions of times, but I have been searching for hours and just need some help :)
