RE: DIY silver Interconnect

Posted by Duster on June 25, 2012 at 13:20:58:
I'm a big fan of silver digital/video cables, but I'm a copper line-level cables fan, so a silver line-level interconnect DIY project is not on my personal cable build radar. However, I'm attracted to an unusual bulk silver interconnect cable product via partsconnexion.com that's impressive as far as the design and materials are concerned, but there is little talk about how the cable actually sounds. IMO, it should be burned-in via a cable cooker, but not cryo'd since the wires are silver conductors. I would recommend that the DIY builder budget liberally towards premium audiophile rca connectors for the DIY silver interconnect cable project in order to better compete with the best commercial builds:

Connex BL-Ag "balanced" interconnect cable, 2 x 23 awg w/shield and drain wire (pure 99.99% solid-core silver, foamed teflon, tape-wrap dielectric). NOTE: Custom made for pcX(ConneX) by DH Labs, priced per foot: $14.95 USD
