. This is exactly what I am looking for. Thank you.
I am a believer, I've heard massive differences after burn in, and I don't quite understand how, but higher electrical current changes sound of the metals being used. I just recently made some DIY USB cables, all solid core, and the differences in sound are night and day. You come back on to places like head fi and people will scream for days about what is possible and what is not, there is only one way to find out. DIYYou might want to look at the history of OCC wire and Professor Ohno's invention, in Japan. I doubt seriously if some of the wire we currently buy from China is made with the same process. I believe there were authorized companies around the world but it has been a while since I read about it. As far as wire that might still be around from the 60's, companies like Belden have been producing specific wire for many decades and their quality standards are exceptional. Something you folks may want to try if you ever get the chance is cable cooking. I know it sounds goofy and I was highly skeptical until I borrowed a cooker, hooked headphone cables to it, and was amazed by the difference it made. I have no connection whatsoever with those products but I am just saying, try it if you ever get the opportunity.I heard more difference with that device than most any wire type I have ever tried, and I have access to most things made.
I think if you contact them they will give you a shipping price, I have relatives in Florida and they have sent to them for much cheaper than that.
I used Neotech Solid OCC COpper and Silver cables. Experimented with 24 gauge, 26 gauge, even 22 gauge. I found 28 gauge (2 wires per conductor, data + and data- , 4 wires total) to be the best, by far. No shielding at all, outside the stock teflon. For the plugs themselves I tried 4, maybe 5 different sets and, these were by far the cleanest and best sounding. Timbre is perfect.interested to hear what wire you used for the usb build. I’ve been experimenting a bit with Beldeb quad shielded and the results are good, about on par with supra usb but no where near the ridiculously expensive tellurium q black diamond cable. This the last shop bought cable in my set up as I’ve managed to build rca, hp, digital coax and Ethernet cables which outperform my expensive branded ones. it’s just the usb which is alluding me, so any secrets you can share would be gratefully received. I’ve been drinking the cable cool aid for years so your pushing against an open door here
had anyone ever seen a tear down on a top usb cable, I can’t bring myself to cut into this £600 sausage, but TQ give absolutely zero away about their construction. The one thing I can say is the difference it makes is worth the price to me it’s that good
Sorry, I fixed the link in the last post.This is great thank you and as upocc dominates every other connection in my hifi accept network cable it would be shame not to do the same with the usb. It will be very interesting to hear how good these sound without shielding. The eBay link for connectors opens up on a few different ones, is there anything specific you recommend? Cheers
