- In this video we show you how to make a 4 strand speaker cable, using the Harmonix Litz wire and Audio Note banana plugs. An intermediate build, using this guide you can make high quality speaker cables for a fraction of the price, and whats more you could use any cable you prefer AND your favourite choice of banana plug.

You should just tin the banana plug first. Put a nice dose of solder directly where you’re going to be attaching the wire, then afterwards, all you have to do is lay the wire on it, and press your soldering iron into the wire, melting the solder into the wire with the solder already present on the banana. It’s much easier than somehow trying to heat up the banana plug and wire simultaneously. Saves time and headache.
For a video about hifi audio, the sound, levels, scratching when Eliot is holding the camera....
Yeah, I’m gonna be THAT guy. For a moment I figured my power amp was about ready to give up the right chanel. Thanx for that ;) such fun!
Working on it, learning as we go along!!
For a High Fidelity channel, your audio quality is anything but
From my experience audiophiles know everything about listening to audio and zero about actually recording it.
What????
Cant hear you!!!
Excellent video , quick questions please:
1. What type of solder do you use for tinning the wires in the pot?
2. what type of flux shall I buy / which type did you use in the video?
:) thanks!!
Hello , Could you tell me what product you use in the bottle cap before you soak in the solder bath please ?
On the other hand, I bought some extremely fine Audionote litz thread for ToneArm a long time ago, could you tell me how to start without damaging them please ?
Thank you very much in advance for your help and advice ! 😉👍🏽
The liquid is 'No Clean Flux', we currently have some from the brand Qualitek.
Razorblade and to use solder, tin the soldering iron then run the wire very quickly over the tinned tip of the soldering iron!
@@hificollective Hello, thank you very much for your response to my request for help! I did not quite understand when to use the liquid and Can you give me a link to buy the "no clean flux from Qualitek" liquid please? I didn't quite understand the razor blade technic on the soldering iron, probably the translation (I am using google translate)! 🥴
@@gwadaflat so the no clean flux can be found here www.somersetsolders.com/qualitek-381f-flux/p49?gclid=CjwKCAjwiaX8BRBZEiwAQQxGxwHwtOGGLhornXUqhYi3kKd8JwlqnljOl1nMXO70QpGEs0T3Udh5_hoCowMQAvD_BwE
To use litz wire, first, it is needed to remove the coating, this can be done with a razor blade (or using the tip of the soldering iron). Then to tin the tip of the wire you can simply tin the soldering iron and run the exposed end of the litz through the solder on the iron and this should transfer some to the wire!
Where and who's the cable made by
The wire is Harmonic Technology Multistrand Litz Copper Wire, see more here www.hificollective.co.uk/wire/harmonic-tehnology-litz-wire.html
um, that is not braided.....
I get why you think using litz is "better" it is in certain situations, but your situation should never have a problem with skin effect on an audio frequency system, litz is generally used for stuff over 30khz upto 1.5Mhz where it IS actually a problem. But i'm sorry the part where you waffle on about crystal alignment and making cables directional made me laugh. Exposing the "Myth" what myth are you prattling on about? A speaker audio signal is AC, if it wasn't you would be burning out voice coils on your drivers and they will go up in smoke. There should be NO DC (direct current) arriving at the speaker whatsoever. Ignore what you have been told or seen, school yourself in basic electronics man people will take you seriously imo.
Lol, just for stranding process you have put wires in two opposite directions bending them in half. Then you talk about directionality. What directionality?
So once a cable has been used for many hours the signal being sent down the cable in a certain direction will slowly give the cable a preferred direction - making the cable sound better the way round it is first used, we would suggest keep the direction of a cable from source to amp, amp to speaker the same if unplugged. Not to the say the cable cant be used either way round, but you may find it sounds different once its been "broken in" if directionality is ignored!
@@hificollective
It is nonsense. The speakers are playing due to the alternating current flowing once forth and once back swapping according to the frequency played. There is no reason for any directionality. And it will not get it over time.
@@jardajezek Indeed! I had to control my hysterics, but the guy (like most self-proclaimed "audiophiles") isn't an engineer so likely doesn't have a clue about how to use litz wire, or has simply read the marketing BS and the problem is this nonsense is rife in the audio community. You try and dispel the rubbish and nonsensical statements such as these and they are like nope, forum said cable good. Crystals align, directional cable get better over time. like FFS lol. Sound better? have they actually checked the audio fidelity vs a standard bit of cable using measuring instruments? of course they haven't and to add insult to injury he is likley playing a compressed audio track through his AC97 sound card so its distorted as fk... Broken in? think the guy is confusing a "burn in" for speakers. The drivel just goes on and on.
@@hificollective It's ac.
Directionality on a cable carrying an AC signal. It alternates, backwards and forwards.
The technique fit building the cable was good and the directionality was the only fly in the ointment.
Extremely poor soldering technique!
Completely wrong soldering
That is the most cack-handed way of braiding 4 wires I've ever seen, i can braid 18 wires faster and it would look easier than this, go over not under.
Multi-stranded wire? Polyurethane insulation jackets? Soldering? - What are you amateurs?
Just trying to create videos to help people get into DIY hifi upgrades!
That is rubbish.
