When I saw the price of Null Audio's cables mainly the Lune and Crystalino cables, I thought to myself, how much would it cost if I made them myself?
So I've decided to take on this project! My vision is something like this(pictured below). I want to use 99.99% pure silver wire wrapped in teflon as opposed to copper enameled with silver.
Also, I haven't decided on whether I should go with quad braid or twists. Any thoughts on which is stronger in terms of durability and flexibility? Which AWG should I use 20, 22, 24? Does the 20 AWG have an advantage over the 22 and 24's in terms of strength and sound quality?(Bulkiness is not an issue for me)
(Pictured here is 24 AWG 99.99% quad braid)
Okay, this is the part I really need help with! I need to find the double pin that connects to the monitors. Secondly, I'll need help finding the best 3.5 mm plug. Preferably an angled one such as these. WIll the gold plated ones have better sound quality than the non-gold plated ones?
Lastly, I'll need some advice on how to do the Y split. I see the little white piece in the middle of the cable where the Y split starts and that's probably what keeps them from unraveling.(in the first picture)
Here's a video that show's you how to make a speaker wire but doesn't do the Y split and he's using 22 AWG.
