DIY Cable Gallery!! - Page 296

except for the sleeving and the tubing, all that stuff is from homegrownaudio. tubing can be found at home depot.

hmm... I just got 40, and tested all (WOW that was an annoying process. ) and only one was defective. maybe you just got unlucky?
but yeah, maybe the reason I like the neutriks so much more is because I used them from the beginning, so I got used to them.

and thanks for the replies about the neotech, guys, I'll have to try some out.

yeah maybe so, but IMO 1 is too many. never had the problem with switchcraft and ive used hundreds of them. I do still use them on rare occasion if a job requires a smaller/lighter connector. but if I can avoid it I do. LOL yeah that wouldve been annoying. sorry bout that. but you did find ONE. Better to know that before you make a cable from it. which is incredibly annoying. making a cable and then finding its faulty because of a connector by process of elimination. so with neutriks I always test the connector first. switchcraft, cryoparts, viablue I can pretty much assume its good.

probably

no problem; I recommend you do. its good stuff.

doh yeah correct.

It's also a money thing, I guess. I'm fourteen, (super happy about that, though, because I can get a JOB now!) so currently I really don't have a lot of spendable money. (and my recent purchases of the d2, RE0, RE2, ne7m, fuze, PINT, go-vibe v5, AD700s, and some other stuff I can't think of)
So forty neutriks (which is already expensive.) is something like three times cheaper than forty switchcrafts.

haha, but now I feel compelled to use switchcraft, because the 'big dogs' do. Drat.

Very nicely done...

hehe; man thats some serious collecting for someone your age; nice one, but next your gonna have to get something to halt the sidestepping well thats the theory anyway.

well if you are buying that many you could get a decent price at markertek for switchcraft. use those neutriks up first though man; i'm just saying they are IMO more reliable and easier to use with a wider variety of wires and sleeving. neutriks can get loose in sockets over time. but if you use too chunky wires with switchcraft they can make the sockets loose over time too, so its a balance that you have to get right.

well i'm actually finding the cryoparts minis superior to switchcraft too, similar solder terminals to the neutriks, but larger and separated with a teflon dielectric. wish they came in black as wel though and they'd be perfect. all the same I do still use switchcraft heaps

well, I'm actually really happy with what I have now, and have figured out my preferred sound sig. Currently, I'm just developing my ear and enjoying the music.

Hmm. well, I fill all my connectors w/ epoxy. Would that help it? or could it still happen?

oh yeah, I got some of those before. They were nice. really easy to work with, but wow, I think I spent $35 on four. Or is there a cheaper source?

My latest creation while it's doing it's job:



Compatible with all dock-having-iPods, iMods/diyMods and iPhones without the annoying pop-ups.
Uses Mundorf SG wire with Elna Cerafine caps.

wow, nice that you got it to be compatible with EVERYthing. Did you have to do a lot?

Well, patience, precision and skill pay this bill.. all the info you need is on this forum Just search.

NVM.
