Hi,
I'm a long time lurker considering my options for a longer cable for the HiFi man HE-400s I have my eye on. I'm trying to get a 20 foot cable for less than the cans cost, which is surprisingly tough!
The DIY route is appealing, I can buy the via blue connectors, sleeving, etc. very easily, but the braiding and soldering are a but daunting. I have no experience whatsoever soldering.
Using an insulated cable, like Miami is a lot less intimidating, but it seems like every DIY project uses a braided geometry. Is that necessary for noise rejection, or is it a cosmetic preference?
Thanks for any thoughts!
