Darthfunk Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Hi guys just got my interconnects specially custom made by Patrick of LHS which he highly reccomended. Took the plunge and went for it. Not cheap though cost more than $1xx. Its Canare LV-77 mix with Belden 8214. Using it for my modded Marantz 63SE. No chance to hook it up yet to give my comments Anyone here also got this custom made before? How you find it?

All your questions ask are above. I still havent got to test it on my modded 63SE. Will give my review soon but most likely at the end of the week when my final piece of equipment have arrive for me to hook up and test.
SiriuslyCold Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 dude, if you could correct your spelling "Canare" it'll help people doing a search for cables later when this thread gets buried ta

Guest Naimeo Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 I googled Belden 214 but can't seem to find anything on its sound quality. Is this the full model number? Quite happy with the quality of 89207 with Neutrik Pro RCA, look forward to comparison between the 2.
rahul Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 For 100$ you can get 1m of one better Monster RCA (MK400) cable. I thought the point of DIY Belden cables was to save costs and maintain decent quality. But if they are same price as Monster, you have to wonder is it worth it ? Are you getting much better quality ? I would expect quality control of a cable built in factory will be better than a handmade one. Do correct me if I am wrong.

Bro, u probably hv not tried the handbuilt $55 DIY Klotz GY107 with Neutrick RCA plugs (fm LHS)....he he...IMHO it beats $ sense out of some more ex ICs.... ;D

Darthfunk Posted January 15, 2007 Author Posted January 15, 2007 got time to test the IC, so how does this baby perform? :) hehe ask me at the right time since i just got everything hooked up. I still feel that my whole system needs more running in since everything is new. Its still too early to judge as my system is not at its optimal yet. Will be doing a simple A/B testing with normal I/C just to compare. So far to my ears the combination of the Modded Marantz 63SE and the Canare/Belden IC shows alot of details and clarity. Iam using the Ultrasone Demo CD as a test reference.
hyper1624705763 Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 is it shot gunned in parallel or twisted? Interesting combo. Any idea how it is built?
