Thanks!

Qables.

Hey there-
longtime lurker, first time poster.
Just curios where most people get their cables, sleeves, plugs, heatshrink, and of course those nice y splitters!
 
Also, I am going to do a wire job with the Canare L-4E6S, I understand its BAD to twist the cables after a Y split, is this true?
Finally, is there an advantage or disadvantage to using the L-4E6AT over the 4E6S? Its for a pair of headphones....
thanks!

Here's my first DIY build. Don't laugh too hard I have a Viablue splitter arriving in the mail sometime next week and I need to redo the heat shrinking on the connectors. Gonna put in some hot glue while I do it. Anyway enough talk.

wow nice angel, nothing to laugh about. The splitter might not look as pro as the ViaBlu one but it sure is more practical than the bulky ones. Did you also paint HD650 black? Parts of it?

 

[FaLLeNAn9eL]

Thanks

 
My Senns are actually an HD580 that's on its way to becoming the HD650. I have the drivers ordered and the lower trim piece is on it's way.

My first LOD (or any cable).  I've tried a couple more and keep pulling the pins out of the connector, went on a bad luck streak

  I originally had some techflex over the cable but I think I got the order wrong putting it over the cable and it kept sliding around.  I finally ended up cutting it off.  Just received some mogami cable today, so going to give that a try.  Braiding was kind of a pain too lol

I wanted to listen to it ASAP so the braiding is sloppy, please forgive .
 
Ebay Sonar platinum plated copper power plugs
5ft of three pairs of 12awg "standard speaker wire" from mcmelectronics.com.
 
This was about the max awg wires it could take. Never tried platinum so I was expecting the sound to be bad, but it is rather surprising placed in front of my power filter. The power filter has three audio components connected to it. Initial impressions is it has authoritatively quick, pure and clear sound across the frequencies, but might seem too bright, and vocals aren't as deep and expressive compared to audio-gd's power cable.
 
I have another set of these plugs, but I may not want more sense of clarity/brightness.
 
edit: Here I used the second set and actually took time to braid , length is over 3 foot long.

I will excuse the poor braiding, but using words like 'quick, pure and clean sounding' to describe a power cable I will not let go un-noticed, that's just insulting.

ROFL.

We have those same plugs here too! But I think they are too cheap to use!
 
So here is my Space Shuttle Shielded Headphone Cable with Rean 3.5 mm stereo and that generic 3.5extension plug:

What's the best way to make a durable Y-split?  Y-shaped heatshrink or something else? (please post or PM links if you have them, I'll need this for my next cable)

 

[atobe]

what are you guys using for the wires ? generic wire spools @ the local radio-shackish shops ?

Adhesive lined heat shrink.
