Hello,
For a long time now I have been looking at making some cables for my HiFi. I have now decided to go ahead with it, and have just sourced some supplies to make some mains cables (thanks Richard ) The next cables I want to make are speaker cables. I have been reading on TNT audio and think I may make some cables based on Cat 5 network cable. I do have a few questions though:
Has anyone on here made speaker cables based on Cat 5 cable? If so what recipe did you use, and what did you think of the cable?
Where can I source the components needed (Cat 5 cable) at a reasonable price?
I am also considering making a coaxial digital cable, possibly from the TNT design. I believe that this may require some crimping tools to be purchased for the connectors at each end of the cable, where can I get these, and are they expensive?
I appreciate your help/advise very much.
Cheers
Rob
