wstrickland1 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 All this talk about cables inspired me. I figure they will cost me about $1.00/foot. How do you think they'll sound? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang guy Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Those REALLY look nice. If they sound as good as they look, you will have a winner. You could sell those babies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice work Billy but I hope for you're sake they don't sound like anything . That would be bad . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wstrickland1 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) This was my first attempt. The hardest part was the Techflex wanting to unravel and getting the pants on (Vaseline was my friend for this). The wire is 12 ga. Karma Cable, around .50/ft.

wstrickland1 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Willy, why bare on one end? Don't the Belles need the smaller spades? Thanks CEC but you're supposed to be admiring the high end interconnects...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerwoodKhorns Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 This was my first attempt. The hardest part was the Techflex wanting to unravel and getting the pants on (Vaseline was my friend for this). The wire is 12 ga. Karma Cable, around .50/ft. I have been using this stuff for years. It will kill your $1/ft budget but your separation will be more separated, tubes more tubelike and warm (if you touch them), etc. Anyway, not very expensive and really nice quality (nice heavy rubber outside, it does not coil up when ran along a baseboard) and it looks nice. http://www.performanceaudio.com/item/Mogami-W3103/5639/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wstrickland1 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 That does look nice but the Karma Cable lays really well too. The outer jacket is round and really thick but flexible. It is tinned and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing... http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KAR12SS-100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for their claim that the tinning reduces skin effect, who knows? The cable does do a good job, and doesn't cost a fortune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
