Incredible video 👏 Thank you very much , the 2549 are the cables that I have always been using on my computer desk setup and they do sound phenomenal!

Nicely Done. Always appreciate your DIY projects. Keep them coming. Thanks

I just built my amp and dac with no solder, sounds amazing ; )

I bought all the parts to do this about 8 years ago. I've just got them down from the loft as I thought I needed a "special" expensive Neutrik crimping tool 😂

Thanks for making this video. I have made my own speaker cable using your guide but paid $110 for 4 xlr cables. If I ever need longer xlr cables, guess I'll make my own to match the nylon sleeving I have on the speaker cable.

Thank you so much for sharing this information! Congrats! 😊

I build this same cable but using AECO Silver Plated copper connectors. Sounds amazing

May have to try these connectors next time. But I must admit that I am very skeptical that they would make a difference over Neutrik Black/Gold soldered with Kester w/ Silver solder…

Thanks for this review Tharbamar. I was wondering, can you provide a review of the new Auralic Vega S1 streamer/ dac? Would be great 😀

Muchísimas gracias por este nuevo tutorial. Hace algún tiempo, publicaste otro magnífico tutorial para el cableado entre componentes mediante RCA y me quedaron estupendos siguiendo tus indicaciones. En cuanto al cable, ¿Cuál crees que sería el mejor, MOGAMI W2549 o MOGAMI Neglex W2534? Teniendo en cuenta que la resistencia, capacitancia e inductancias son similares en ambos modelos y que el w2534 es de cuatro hilos, al unir en paralelo dos hilos, la resistencia e inductancia serían la mitad. Lo pregunto porque he visto fabricantes de cables XLR que utilizan el W2534. Saludos desde España.

Interesting. I tried RCA (REAN connectors) and XLR (NEUTRIK connectors) versions of W2549 both soldered with Cardas solder. To my ears they sound muffled. Soundstage is non-existent, highs are rolled off, a lot of details is missing ... Indeed they sound neutral but thats it. If you are looking for high-resolution cable you should look something else. But for $30 you should give a try. Maybe you will have a synergy with the rest of you system.

Can you do a video showing how to make these interconnects using an rca connection?

Maybe a silly question but how different would the audio quality be using audio quest xlr? Would it be basically same?

Hello there, Just curious to know if they will perform better than the mogami 3104 based regular Banana connectors cables ? I saw an old video of yours making them......

@tharbamar have you tested mogami 2534? In my opinion it sounds better than 2549

Hi, I own a Topping A 30 pro, but I'm thinking what would be an upgrade up to $500-600 and I would pair it with an SMSL 9 ultra. Is it a Topping a70, Xduoo ta-22, SMSL sh-x...?What gives cleaner ,clearer, more natural sound for my headphones and IEMs? Thanks and good luck in the future

Where can we by this Neutrik connectors i don't see it in the notes below

I like the insurance policy of using 4C StarQuad Mogami W2534. Or is it really not worth worrying about and much better to just use 2C W2549 ?

You seem to be a respectable individual. That being said, is it really necessary to include fairy-tale magic in your cable-making tutorial?

i prefer Canare L-4E6S

prefer 2549 or 2534?

The crimp quality looks a little weak..don´t know if I would trust it 🤔

What are the exact plugs you used ?

I wouldn't trust crimps made with hemostats!
