Thanks Phil, I've been running them for a few days now between streamer > Behringer DEQ2496 > Mutec > DAC and they have improved things without question. I have the same cable but with even better (Monosaudio pure copper) connectors on and I've been experimenting with them in different positions. The more expensive ones do sound a little better I think but clearly it's not night and day and these run them very close. Might be no difference at all of course as I probably couldn't really tell. Very happy with their price/performance ratio. |

I'm feeling like you've caught the DIY bug Chris. That makes me happy, and it's lovely to see such tidy work! Well done sir! |

Cheers Ol, been making cables for a while to be fair (saves an absolute packet!) but now they are just about worthy of actually being viewed by the public . . . haha. Need to get a better soldering iron though as I loaned my 'decent' one to my old man for his railway disease, I haven't seen it back in two years . . . . |

I found a used Oki Metcal PS-900 for a steal, but Hakko FX-888D and Quick 3104 are both good bets.

You've made all the cables you need for now, if you spend £100+ will it be sitting in the cupboard for the next year or so doing nothing?

Nah, he needs a full loom of Triple C 😉 It's in the works . . . . Oli has sweet-talked me into it (thoroughly against my will) . . . . but to be fair it's been pure upgrades with every inch added so far, I really mean that. The effect is very surprising. |

It didn't take much convincing after you plumbed the first pair in 🤣 |

Better get another soldering station purchased then, you're going to be busy.
