lets join to do High purity Silver-OFC ICs

[kaushik]

Plan is simple ,
1.Keep costs low <1.5k
2.Get material for 2X pair DIY IC with 2 RCA 2 RCA config .
3.Procure plugs locally (Neutrik ).
Silver solder to finish, test ,post results.

Some details :
Material :Get "DH Labs SILVER SONIC BL-1 Series II "
SILVER SONIC BL-1 is made in USA and uses the finest materials available, including high purity silver, Teflon and oxygen-free copper.

why :
* It is well reviewed
Cable Asylum: REVIEW: DH Labs BL-1 series II Cable by GM.
* Some best DIY cables are Silver plated OFC.

I will make one pair one for me and one for another interested member (?) .
I will purchase , other FM pays after completion.


Suggestions welcome.

The best part about this is that you can make the ICs as long or as short as you want!

I'm game...

 

[Flash]

I'm game count me in as well ...

 

[kaushik]

Initial build is 2 pairs

1.kaushik (me )
2.srinisundar

Cable will be bought from Here.
If it goes well we will do a bigger group build.
People can join and order side by side, i have no issues .
I have no claims unless tests were done, there is nothing to calibrate or tweak except quality of plugs may influence sound 5%(my assumption) .
Hence i hope it will turn out to be VFM diy cables.

Try using DAC plugs as well . I find them to be pretty decent and built very well

 

[kaushik]

@Flash where you get DAC plugs locally ?

I use DAC speaker wires , they are excellent VFM

What is the price for 2 pairs ?

Neutrik REAN NYS373-2 is costing 460Rs 2 pair by import not bad but lil thin to my liking .
Gold RCA Super Plug Connector in Parts EXp is good one 2USD

Also - if a power cable build can be taken up, it would be great.

option 1:
Any one can take ordering duty for members in queue( or GB for this , i am too lazy to coordinate GB )
i will offer soldering to plugs if needed
option2:
wait till i do 2 pairs and post findings , then i will do more batches of 4 pairs
"buy material>make>deliver" FMs can pay after completion
