mwl168 830 Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Harvested an old Cardas Headphone cable to make a balanced cable for the HD800. Neutrik 4-pin XLR connectors. The HD800 connectors are from Parts Connecxion and a royal PITA to work with. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

penmarker 10 Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 How are the banana jacks? Do they make secure connection with the cables? PM me where you got them please. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
swt61 10,149 Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 The banana jacks are great. They hold really well and were very affordable. I got them on Amazon... https://www.amazon.com/Mediabridge-Banana-Plugs-Corrosion-Resistant-Gold-Plated/dp/B00JFC9ANW/ref=sr_1_14?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1525230515&sr=1-14&keywords=banana+plugs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig Sawyers 3,391 Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 They look like a real bargain! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
penmarker 10 Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 I'm more interested with how they secure the wires. I've had some cheapo banana jacks in the past and they use grub screws. No bueno, feels like the wires will shear right off. This one looks good. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
swt61 10,149 Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 It has sharper little teeth than others I've used, and it grabs the wire very securely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

luvdunhill 3,298 Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 I am working on a project that has no built in strain relief. Is there some suggested way to perhaps use an adhesive on the PCB and soldered connections, but allow the larger jacket to still rotate, or should I just fill the housing with adhesive and immobilize the cable within the housing? is there a recommended adhesive to do this sort of thing?

luvdunhill 3,298 Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 Hi! I have _a lot_ of speaker cable on hand - all DH Labs - Q-10 ($25/ft), T-14 ($10/ft) and Odyssey ($4/ft). I am going to be making up a couple sets of cables and would be happy to make some extra sets - I use nice sleeving I use on my cables and can work with you on termination. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a 12’ pair and 6’ pair of the Q-10. This can be terminated for biwire (so there are four wires) I have two 10’ pair of the T-14, but it can only be a single run (two wires) - but could do this as a “shotgun” biwire if someone wanted both sets (internal to a single sleeve or separate sleeves). I can’t find the Odyssey - but will keep looking for it. I need to order more sleeving though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starcat 3 Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 Any good starquad cable makes a perfect balanced cable for headphones. Like the Mogami or Belden. In fact the way overpriced Black Dragon is a starquad as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
