i have recently made headphone cables and ic's out of the following. 2x28g solid copper enamled magnet wire,1x20g braided copper bare ground. .9999 copper. 1x tyvec dielectric/shield. .9999 silver solder. pvc jacket. no techflex. on the ic's i use a eichman bullet. on the headphone cables i use a plastic housing neutrik 1/8". i think this might be similar to what comes stock on some good headphones! there is no crostalk from the bare ground that i can tell.
to me they sound great. i guess this is like why cat-5 cable sounds good. i mean on the one hand i could explain why these sound good. on the other, given all the thick cables out there they shouldn't.
these cables actually are not cheap because you have to buy 50' of the .999 copper.
has anyone else ever used cables like this? what do you think about the sound? what about using .997 silver?
thanks,
