for the DIY Silver Interconnects
I just already finished my 2nd Chris design 2 days ago.
The first one I used bit different material (PE tube core covered by unbleached cotton tubing, teflon tube for wire and use 24AWG mundorf silver-gold + cheap RCA plug from Valab Taiwan)- anything else was the same as Chris mentioned.
For sound, high and mid detail is very good and wide soundstage too, speed and dynamic quite good but don't have deep bass (the bass is thin and hollow)- maybe because of the RCA plug? I don't know anyway but friend of mine like it and bought it hahaha.
The second one I just finished and run in for several hours (not fully break in yet) have different material (Teflon tube core covered by unbleached cotton tubing - I believe this cotton can reduce vibration too, cotton tube for wire and use 28AWG neotech silver wire + Eichmann copper).
for sound, excelent from top to bottom but I noticed bit warmer vocal voice and bit bigger in appearance so i think it need more time to burn. I'm quite satisfied with the result and thanks Chris for the recipe :)
Product Weakness: bit warmer on mid / vocal voice (especially on male voice) Product Strengths: detailed from top to bottom and clear voice
