FS: Hand-made audio and headphone cables
Posted: Fri Jul 30, 2021 10:33 pm
Some of you know I have a little side-project building high-end audio interlinks. It keeps me occupied and off the streets during the evening hours and is an enjoyable hobby/pastime that pays back a little bit of pocketmoney!
I recentlly branched out into the mysterious and mythical world of headphone cables after building a few of my own and being surprised by the difference in sonic signature between different materials and cabletypes used.
So as an update to my earlier post selling my ChrisCables 'Crystal Clear' RCA interlink here are a few more examples of different IC and headphone cables which I build to order.
I predominantly sell over on Marktplaats.nl, Etsy and Tapeheads.net but maybe some of you here on this forum might be interested in upgrading your IC's or headphone cables?
I build to mostly any specification, including RCA-RCA, 3/4 pole XLR-XLR, DIN, MMCX, AES/EBU, 3.5mm, 6.2mm TRS, TRRS or basically any configuration you can think of!
I recently noticed a spike in demand for my 'Cacophonous DIN' cable which which is a DIN-RCA cable that can be used between Naim and non-Naim equipment. I found out that the proprietor of 'Flashbacksales', who specialised in these sort of cables recently passed away and so it seems I have unknowingly taken on part of his client-base. Sad to hear but I'm glad I can continue to fulfil a demand in the niche market for these cables.
I take time and care when building these cables, always using 4.7% silver solder, professional grade vanDamme and Belden cable, top quality connectors from Neutrik, WBT and Nakamichi as well as a super new KSGER T12 precision solder station which has been a real game-changer for the range of connectors I can now solder and the overall quality of the solderwork.
In any case, if anyone has any requirements drop me a line and maybe there's something I can build for you.
