A EMU 0404 cable to 2 RCA's and some HD580 cables using the plugs from the groupbuy. Canare Starquad and Neutrik plugs!

Warm and smooth, a very nice combination, I'll soon be recabling my MS-2s with Cardas smurf cable I purchased from Drew @ Moonaudio so stay tuned

More fun with cables..

Here's another two more attempts at a cable.. one a mini-mini, another a mini-RCAs. Both of them making use of stranded 20 AWG silver-clad-copper with teflon jacket, more eBay special RCA jacks, and gold-plated Radio Shack jacks (waiting for Parts Express to get in their shipment of Neutrik parts). The mini-mini is using a 4-wire Litz braid, the mini-RCA is a plain twisted pair.

Think I'm getting the hang of this cable fabrication...

alright well after reading this and a few other threads I'm convinced I want to start trying this out myself. One question I had though, for rca to rca, rca to mini, and mini to mini, is canare starquad or braided, teflon coated, silver plated ofc better?

Warm sounding = starquad

Detailed sounding (some may even say bright) = PTFE insulated silver plated copper

what about as far as noise rejection goes?

is the braided teflon ofc pretty susceptable to interference? The RS cables I'm using now pick up a hum, and I really want to make sure I don't have that problem with these.

Nice work RnB!

Did you braid the wires yourself? They look very neat.
