The Dude Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I have used a Belden version of rg59 with good results. How are those ferrules used? Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Ok, just watched this video I'm guessing you put a ferrule on the speaker wire before sticking in to the banana plug.Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockhound Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 So are there any follow along videos out there on building power and RCA cables that anyone would recommend? I have built some speaker cables but would like to build custom length power and RCA cables for wire management purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seti Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I love the Mogami Mic cables I use those on input signals in preamps and amps. Don't make fun but I've learned to love silver plated solid and stranded copper cables. This isn't becuase I think it sounds better (no diff in sound) but I've found they take solder really easily. If you used solid silver wire it also lets you use a much smaller gauge than copper. I'm thinking about doing a line of cables for my system because everything could be the exact length they need to be with out extra length... Thanks for all the great links in this thread.... I like all the colors available for wire coverings. I used a nuetril power adapter for power cord on my 1625 set amp build.. Check it out here... https://www.instagram.com/p/CEDXAghJh9T/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Products from Mogami are always a good choice. For me personally I prefer copper wires with silver coating. I also use solder with 4 % Silvercontent, because it can be processed very well.

babadono Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 On 12/1/2020 at 6:10 PM, The Dude said: Has anyone used the microphone cable from Monoprice? Yes. Make/made my own balanced line level interconnects. Their cable, their connectors. Its thick very pliable. Their connectors have the right size strain reliefs and exit holes for the thick cable. Measured about 30pF per foot conductor to conductor and about double that either conductor to shield. That's a pretty average spec for balanced cabling. They could not answer what the capacitance was. If I was making mic cable I would use star quad from Mogami or Canare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MicroMara Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 @babadono Of course the shielding belongs with the ground cable to the main plug. This was a test cable without connected shield to test if external radiation influences have an effect. None occurred. With a cable length of 2 feet this is also very unlikely.

Ebay and Amazon are certainly an additional sales platform in the future. Even a nice website will not be enough. First you have to establish the product in the market and use the tools of marketing. In order to offer products with competitive prices you have to buy large quantities from suppliers, the production requires production facilities and personnel, the distribution and advertising must be tightly organized. There is an overhead, such as accounting, bookkeeping and financial management. This also requires manpower. If you do it, you have to consider all this and you need a business plan and investors behind it. I was just telling my buddy who owns a Private Equity firm that he should find a mid to high end cable manufacturer to invest in cause their margins have to be pretty stellar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
