  • It's canary cable? and what are the jacks called?

  • @AlesandroMoon Canare Cable.

  • Can I get a new connector but use my old cord since I broke the one side of the cord and where can I get the connectors?

  • @AlesandroMoon If you dig the cable you have now, replacing the jack would be cheaper.

    They are Neutrik C Series. He's using a TS connector. It's an unbalanced interconnect.

  • @nemesis4go10 I think my comment applied to a different video - I agree, having used some poorly made instrument cords for some home recording. I must have been on the crack back then ;)

    It does make a HUGE difference. The quality of the wire, and the technique you use to sold (and even how you grab the cable) make a very big difference in the overall quality of your input and output signal. The materials of the jacks and the quality of the building makes a huge difference too.

    You can test the results by recording and comparing the noise, and the final waveform (one cycle) between different cable builds.

  • great videos, I'm thinking bout making my own cables now. it'll be way cheaper and I've only had probs with cables I've bought. What is the name of those jacks you used?

  • Nice job. Thanks
