This ones called Andy, and he has joined the forum whilst tinkering with his technics SL1200 Mk2.
At the moment the deck is spread over the dining table and the floor awaiting goodies from j7.

Hope your all having a good day.

My Hi-Fi

Apollo Rega cd player

Audio Analogue Paninni Pre amp

Audio Analogue Donizetti Power amp

Graham Slee Solo Headphone Amp

Dali Ikon 1 standmount speakers, home made sand filled stands

All interconnects home made using high OFC copper double shielded cables.
Speaker cables Home made Cat5 braided 9.05AWG equivalent.
All power cables home made shielded cable

Music tastes, well anything that sounds good at that time!

Mostly electronic but my vinyl collection is mostly rock, cd collection is mainly electronic.

Really enjoying Elbow and Daniel Avery at the moment though normally go for female vocal tracks for real listening.

Welcome to AoS Andy.

We are always interested in 'value for money' interconnects here on AoS, and I am interested in DIY cables (I often make up my own). So we would be interested in learning more about your own DIY cables. Are your "double shielded" cables triaxial type, where the two shields are electrically separate, or are the two shields in contact with one another?

Welcome again - enjoy the Forum.

Barry,

The shielding was on top of each other, one was a foil screen, the other was braided. I had pretty good continuity between the two.

I mainly try and make audio cables, mains cable I tend to buy pre made cable and only attach plugs etc myself.

All mains cables are PAT tested and Megger tested before use!
