My HomeMade UP-OCC InterConnect with Cardas SRCA Connector

[Tommy Thong]

 




 
I used the UP-OCC wire (i bought from http://www.liveacoustics.com.sg/upocc.htm)
16 ga UP-OCC MultiStrand Wire n separated them became 2 section(smaller gauge) + 1 pcs 28ga OCC silver (i bought from http://www.partsconnexion.com/wire_hookup_occ_ag.html)
Then i put them on 1mm telfon tube(i bought from ebay)
I followed the Audioquest Cheetah's way to give DIELECTRIC-BIAS SYSTEM 72Volt with 3.5mm connector
And i soldered with Cardas SRCA connector
Viola... Finally it's done... My very own UP-OCC Interconnect with 72 volt DBS
It's time to burn-in for 100 hours(maybe more)

So, how do they sound?
 
Also, how does the battery pack get wired up?  I had thought about doing this myself a while ago, but never got around to it, glad to see someone else had this idea.

They sounds perfect sweet mids n extra detail on the treble, soundstage focus on the middle of the room not too wide or not too v, i can listen the difference between using battery pack or not, If you try the [size=x-small]Cardas Golden Reference[/size] before, it's sound the same but only more details on hi freq because i put 28 ga OCC Silver on each conductor/ channel. About wire the DBS Audioquest 72volt battery pack, you can use 2,5mm jack(mono)(i bought @Radioshack n 1 bag came with 1 pair) but you can't use the black cover so you need cover it with heatshrink. And the wire from DBS Battery pack (+ wire connect to the wire on middle of 2 conductor(Signal wire n ground wire) n (- wire connect to the outter copper braid), It's same the way audioquest Cheetah or Sky Topologyhttp://www.audioquest.com/pdfs/analog_interconnects/sky.pdf
