In Reply to: Thanks Mike. Not surprising to hear that there is a DIY... posted by hcman on May 7, 2010 at 10:33:43:
You may be able to duplicate the bottom/lower tiered PC's in most cable manufacturers line-up but when you get up into the top tier cables, this is where one starts to hear vast performance improvements.I can assure you, one will NOT be able to duplicate what Synergistic Research is doing in their active shielding Tesla line of PC's or what AudioQuest is doing in their DBS WEL PC. I would also have to say that trying to copy/build an Elrod Statement Gold PC, for example, would be damn near impossible without the proper equipment that most DIY's cannot afford, and that includes the cold-welds used on the AQ cables, not to mention the talent and time it takes to build one of these PC's!!
I've toured a very prominant high end cable manufacturing facility and I can assure you, it takes great talent, time, and the proper equipment to build a top tier cable. If one wants to just "assemble" a damn fine high performance PC that only requires wire strippers and a screwdriver, get some Acrolink P-4030 cable and terminate the ends with one of the Oyaide and/or Furutech male/female connectors of choice and blow most bottom/lower tiered PC's clear out of the water but be prepared for a LONG break-in period!
And we haven't even begun to talk about high end outlets... bwahahaha :-)
