Underwood Hifi Cables


So now I’m back to stock cables and need 2 power cables and a pair of xlrs. I talked with Walter at Underwood about my situation. He stored my info and order but I am yet to order. Walters a very cool cat btw. Funny and blunt. Seems like a pretty good deal we worked out just don’t want to buy something that will not be an improvement. Any opinions on the cables from Underwood. I was looking at the mid grade cables that Walter talked highly of. 

thanks

With the amount I am buying I am getting what I consider a very substantial discount. Gonna do 2 pairs of xlrs since at some point I’m sure i will add dac and tube pre. 
Think I might give it a go. I’ll let y’all know what the outcome is. 
Not a real easy way to just try out cables. Yeah they have the cable store but you are in 10% for every one you try. At least that’s the way I read it. If you are looking at pricey ones that gets to be a lot of money real quick. 
@williewonka ,

I might be down for a dyi project. Would certainly be interested about your project! 
Thanks
Awesome thanks Steve! I haven’t looked at the links yet but will. If it’s detailed enough I will likely give it a go. Any approx of the total cost for a 3 ft cable nowadays ? 
Anyone tried the IFI SupaNova? Active cord for around $350. Looks interesting but I thought I could find more reviews but they are basically nil. I have the little IFI Ipurifier and it does it’s job as stated for digital. Real difference from the fire stick for tv. I think I also hear an improvement from the Bluesound to the dac. Without the rambling I am just saying I think the companies products are not complete BS snake oil. 
Always thought cables were BS until Moneeone sent me some cables to try out. Huge improvement across the board. Just more than I want to spend. Really were the 1st aftermarket cables I have tried besides the bottom of the line Nordhost which were horrible! Don’t want any more bass and your system to be bright as all hell, try some of those. System dependent I know but hated them.

Even if I buy some cables I’m still going to try out your diy cable build. You’ve obviously done your homework for many years along with some others. Plus I can compare to some lower tier middle of the road cables (hifi priced) whatever I get. 
Thanks Steve,

I'm going to go through all of this and figure out exactly what to order tomorrow and maybe give it a go next weekend if everything has arrived. How much time do you normally have in assembling this cable? Not a big deal just curious. I'm sure it will take me twice the time being a newby. 

Also can you reccomend what you consider the best for each of the components in the cable? If I'm going to take the time to do it I would rather spend a bit more and get it right the first time if within reason.
