yeah, i dont diy all that often anymore. my DIY gears are in the closet, happily collecting dust. should be out in a few weeks to recable some of my headphones.. but meanwhile, they can just rest, in peace..
i used to make cables/recables but well, it is not that fun anymore. i was doing it more for fun than money. actually, i didnt even make too much money in doing so.. i used to charge them about the cost that they would incur if they DIY by themselves. i used to get the bulk discount myself and use that to work on something else that i had interest in. and now, i dont have too much interest in any.. plus, the mods seem not liking me selling things in forum without going thru mallfi or MOT, which im not too interested in doing so since i dont make same things all the time.. (my FS threads had been deleted a few times and well, i understand them. i probably had violated some rules. i should respect that if i want to hang around with you guys
) in addition, i dont have too much time for DIY these days anyways..
hga silver wires are good, too, if you are interested in making one with them. they are a bit lean but very good in analyzing the SOUND. might want to add some copper in them if you want some more volume to it.. their copper wires are pretty good, too. above average i would say..
DIY ones those are made with canare, mogami, and typical spc would be okay. they are fun and strong sounding but slightly lacks the refinement in sound.
cardas wires are also good, better than typical copper wires. they are smooth and laid back. i find them good with grados, cuts the treble harshness and make the sound overall more balanced. these arent as bassy as other copper wires, at least to me.
i used to work with these so.. i thought i would post this, in case any of you are interested in buying DIY cables, those pop on FS forum time to time..
retailers' wires, ill tell you if you pm me, of course, of only those ones that i had. i dont want to be pushing/bashing them publicly
sorry about a disorganized post.. i was just typing dadadadaadada as usual
