Here’s what I consider to be a good low-cost (under $25 per 1m pair) DIY IC cable build for newbies to tackle and/or simply as a low budget DIY option for a second system, friends and family, or as a fine step-up from generic in-the-box stereo patch cables. The build is nothing too special, but from a price-to-performance ratio aspect there’s nothing too unattractive about it, either. Tip: Ditch the Canare F-10 connectors ferromagnetic steel strain relief springs.
