    DIY Cable Gallery!!

    It's called Spider from Cableorganizer... It's pretty neat stuff, though when I ordered it they only had a few feet left and only in a couple of sizes, one of which was just right for the mains lead. Regards, Paul.

    DIY Cable Gallery!!

    Here are some of my more recent, feeble efforts. 1) Mains lead (for UK 220V PSU on my ATi 2506 power amp.) The massive plug allows me to use two * 12AWG silver-plated copper for live and neutral, and one for the earth. It's a cross-helix design and sounds fab - really opened up the soundstage...

    DIY Cable Gallery!!

    A little off-topic, sorry, but I am in 'smug mode' Pic 1 : Took ages to make this one properly. Have since dropped the RCAs and have started using a good quality german RCA connector (aswell as Eichmanns - IMHO the best there is.) Sold it to a very happy 'customer' - for far more...

    highflyin9 - the silver bullets are expensive, that's true - but in my system, to my ears, they make a worthy difference. What's not clear from the picture is that there's white flex over the cable aswell, but it's still really flexible, and really lightweight too. For the satellite coax, the...

    CAE Speaker Kit tweaks a DVD like magic

    I decided to try a small piece of damping sheet from a CASCADE SK-1 SPEAKER KIT I have at home, inside my Pioneer DVD player. Listening to Alison Moyet before and after successive applications of the material brought about cleaner, clearer vocals and a 'blacker' background. I could tell when she...

    I get mine, a derivitive of techflex, from cableorganizer.com, other suppliers are Parts Express, RS Components, etc. My cable has two layers of flex for added durability and it looks better, too! Regards Paul.

    DIY Cable Gallery!!

    I've been a lurker for a week now, and got around to registering today. This cable links my DVD player to my processor in my home theater. It's the first one I've made that I actually like The sound is great - credit to Jon Risch' marvellous webpages for the recipe. Cable is 1695A...
