cable asylum is a great resource. i made jon risch designed i/c's and speaker cables. he has done a lot of work with audio cables and i have had incredible results with his designs. the coax he uses is belden 89259. you'll find him on the cable asylum.
Any suggestions for top-end home-made cables?
I want to upgrade my interconnects on a low budget. I can solder. Any suggestions, eg microphone cable? Plugs? What's best for the very low signal coming from an MC cartridge? I have a VDH Black Beauty cartridge in Adanalog parallel airbearing arm on Nottingham Analogue Dais TT, Silk SUTs, Croft phono/preamp, 211 SE amp, esl63s. Would welcome any wisdom and creative solutions, as I'm certain very good results must be obtainable at a fraction of the extortionate cost of "hifi" cables. My speaker cables are single strand pure silver in teflon, which work very well.
