@mitch2 ding… I think you win the prize with your last sentence!! Are there variations in materials, use, signature etc? Sure. But, everyone thinks their opinion is the best. To their ears, probably is. It doesn’t really matter, it’s all a big pissing match anyway. Regardless of the connector type, materials used etc, if it sounds good to the person listening it’s all good. I do believe pure copper to be the basic go to when it comes to cabling, particularly power. It is tried and true, and the Furutech copper connectors are great for starter DIY. Wire? Same thing. Pure copper. Gets one in the game, is generally easy to work with and produces a really nice cable if done properly. Getting into the esoterics of plating etc. is a matter of preference, not necessity to be explored as knowledge and experimentation develop.
My First DIY Power Cable
Thinking of trying my first DIY power cable. Would like to keep it under couple hundred $$. Looks like it could be done with products from the Furutech site. Any other resource recommendations?
