The Terminator

Cable Asylum

Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

To Mitch2's point in thread below, terminations matter and good ones may require more time to do right than some commercial manufacturers will allow. I particularly like compression fit "solderless" XLR connections. Silver wire is best for this, as unlike copper oxidation, silver oxide conducts and doesn't degrade the joint. I apply just enough solder to secure the connection at the entry point into the plug. This job takes an illuminated magnifier. The bulk wire is Connex/DH- Labs BL-Ag.

I recently did an extended shoot-out between these $125 DIY cables and 25th Anniversary PAD ICs. I preferred the BL-Ag.
