DIY Cable Gallery!! - Page 170

that's a nice cable you made there. is there any point to using so many wires other than being able to braid it in different ways?

@ Fungi : Thanks a lot =)
@ Soymilk : to reduce the impedance. and each cable is actually cut cross the ground channel, so my aim is to reduce the skin-conductor effect.
however, i do hear a improvement over sound, perhaps due to the total gauge is increased. so i am happy with it. better sound, nicer look.

Very nice work as always. I am incredibly impressed with your braiding techniques. I am thinking about not using techflex anymore, because your cables look great without them.

Using more wires would also decrease the risk of it breaking. If you only use 1 wires for signal/ground it will fail to work if any of those wires break. This is unlikely to happen. I also like being able to feel that my cable is secure.

Yea your braid is very nice....

Question from a new person: How do you hook up in the jacks is one color for one channel and 1 for the other or like how do you take all those wires and where do you put them in the jacks since you have left right and ground?

I am going to make some DIY interconnects for a car audio project. I have some Star Quad and Gepco 61801EZ cable and I just wanted to know of some good < $4/ea phono plugs. Right now I'm thinking of using the Dayton RCAGS-LK Locking plug or Dayton RCAGS-ST RCA Plug because they look similar to some quality Neutrik offerings.

Also, would a generic 30 watt soldering iron be fine to use in making the interconnects? And finally what size tip would you recommend. Thanks in advance.

a generic soldering iron will work, however a 20 or 25w hakko dash would be the recommended option.

take a look at Neutrik plugs. You can get some very nice sub $2 RCA plugs

Removed? Bummer!

Dangit! I wanted to see the "Bling" cables . How could you have inappropriate intentions with interconnects? They're just cables.

probably posted pics of commercially available cables... which is why I don't post pictures of my cables here. I sell them

Other people plagiarized his work/photos, so he wasn't too inclined to have that happen again.

Oh. I'm willing to give up seeing the "bling" cables so plagiarism doesn't happen anymore.

Made this cable for a friend. 4-wire braided 99.99% AWG24 silver wire covered in teflon in a PVC tubing. Terminated with Furutech FP-126 RCA plugs.

PVC

Wow! Not only does it look good, it gave me a great idea, PVC tubing. Thanks! I never would have thought of using that.

Its actually two layers of PVC tubing inside the strain relief to help it grip the cable.

Whatever it is, they look good. Great job!

My first recable job:





It was pretty straight foward and turned out pretty well

I used 6 strands of SPC (24awg) and 1x techflex all around.

My first RCA LOD:




both sound great~!

I'm happy
