Incredible video 👏 Thank you very much , the 2549 are the cables that I have always been using on my computer desk setup and they do sound phenomenal!

I bought all the parts to do this about 8 years ago. I've just got them down from the loft as I thought I needed a "special" expensive Neutrik crimping tool 😂
Thank you so much for sharing this information! Congrats! 😊

Thanks for making this video. I have made my own speaker cable using your guide but paid $110 for 4 xlr cables. If I ever need longer xlr cables, guess I'll make my own to match the nylon sleeving I have on the speaker cable.

May have to try these connectors next time. But I must admit that I am very skeptical that they would make a difference over Neutrik Black/Gold soldered with Kester w/ Silver solder…
I build this same cable but using AECO Silver Plated copper connectors. Sounds amazing
Thanks for this review Tharbamar. I was wondering, can you provide a review of the new Auralic Vega S1 streamer/ dac? Would be great 😀

Muchísimas gracias por este nuevo tutorial. Hace algún tiempo, publicaste otro magnífico tutorial para el cableado entre componentes mediante RCA y me quedaron estupendos siguiendo tus indicaciones. En cuanto al cable, ¿Cuál crees que sería el mejor, MOGAMI W2549 o MOGAMI Neglex W2534? Teniendo en cuenta que la resistencia, capacitancia e inductancias son similares en ambos modelos y que el w2534 es de cuatro hilos, al unir en paralelo dos hilos, la resistencia e inductancia serían la mitad. Lo pregunto porque he visto fabricantes de cables XLR que utilizan el W2534. Saludos desde España.

Hi, thanks for your comment. W2549 is best choice if you want absolute transparency, W2534 in the other hand highs are slightly rolled off but it is a great option if you’re having interference can’t go wrong with either one.

You seem to be a respectable individual. That being said, is it really necessary to include fairy-tale magic in your cable-making tutorial?

I respect your opinion but I have to comment on what I notice, as always we're not here to agree each other.
Interesting. I tried RCA (REAN connectors) and XLR (NEUTRIK connectors) versions of W2549 both soldered with Cardas solder. To my ears they sound muffled. Soundstage is non-existent, highs are rolled off, a lot of details is missing ... Indeed they sound neutral but thats it. If you are looking for high-resolution cable you should look something else. But for $30 you should give a try. Maybe you will have a synergy with the rest of you system.

Thanks for sharing, W2549 is neutral for me but it can be on brighter side with some recording. Sound stage is wider than much more expensive cables I have but for the depth I have to play around with speaker placement other than that W2549 is neutral in sound, could be more to do with paring system.
Maybe a silly question but how different would the audio quality be using audio quest xlr? Would it be basically same?

Not silly at all, in my case my $800 AQ XLR Cables are in storage box in favor of these.

Hi, I own a Topping A 30 pro, but I'm thinking what would be an upgrade up to $500-600 and I would pair it with an SMSL 9 ultra. Is it a Topping a70, Xduoo ta-22, SMSL sh-x...?What gives cleaner ,clearer, more natural sound for my headphones and IEMs? Thanks and good luck in the future

It is a little more laid back than W2549 for me but I use them sometimes.
I like the insurance policy of using 4C StarQuad Mogami W2534. Or is it really not worth worrying about and much better to just use 2C W2549 ?

W2549 is sonically better cable if that should be in your decision, quad IC cables tend to suffer airiness and extension.
