How does your comment make sense?
It is possible to continue memorialising holocaust victims AND to condemn the genocide in Palestine.
Was the KabelDirekt one advertised as being suitable for headphones?
I share your frustration about not being able to tell in advance what's inside a cable.
Years ago, as a side hustle, I sourced audio cables; custom-making them where needed. Since then, the market has been flooded with Chinese imports that don't mention the specifications that used to be commonplace:
- Shield type
- Shield gauge and qty
- Conductor material
- Conductor gauge and qty
- Resistance per metre
- Capacitance
- Outer diameter
The only negative point I saw in reviews of the Syncwire cable is that the braided jacket transmits mechanical noise to headphones. As someone else here mentioned, that's a problem with braided headphone cables generally.
Unfortunately, all the similar cables I could find on Amazon have braided jackets:
- Ugreen (yes, they do still sell audio cables)
- Ugreen w/90-deg jack
- CableCreation
They all cost $10-$15 and look a lot like each other. Maybe from the same factory?
As you say, it's virtually impossible to buy tinsel-cored audio cable in suitable lengths for DIY. If you want non-braided, I guess you'll have to either spend more money or cannibalise a cable from an existing pair of earphones/headphones.
Let us know how it goes!
You serve; they don't protect.
Thanks, I had not heard of them. They have a Wikipedia article. So sad to read about foxes still being farmed for fur in the US, and about Mikayla's passing. Kudos to the organisation for its work and thank you for raising awareness.
-
It's advertised to be suitable as a headphone cord (not just a headphone extension cord or aux cord).
-
The cable is quite slender, <4mm OD (compare it to the 3.5mm plug in the photo). Yet it has a braided jacket, probably over a PVC jacket. That combo takes up more width than a PVC jacket alone. Therefore, the inner cores must be slender.
-
Slender conventional inner cores in a wire advertised for headphone use would likely result in low reliability and bad reviews. But this cable has good reviews.
-
Therefore, it's probably made with tinsel wire.
N.B. Any pair of headphones/earphones (and old broken pair, or from a junk shop etc) likely has tinsel wire. Most headphones/earphones use captive cables, but you can always just snip the cable at the headphone end, solder on a 3.5mm plug (see tips in earlier comment), and thereby make yourself a cable that will work with headphones that have a 3.5mm socket.
Are you me?
Seriously, thank you for writing this.
From sucking the lifeblood out of democracies.
Jolla was already mentioned in this thread. There are also others.
Yes! Hope others follow suit!
Anyone on here from #Brighton ? That might be the next most likely council.
Somewhere halfway last century
IIUC, it was around the time the artistic set (F. Scott & Zelda Fitzgerald, et al) started to be written about & photographed sunbathing, playing outdoor sports, & generally enjoying themselves around Antibes.
Suddenly the world wanted a piece of that luxury, or at least wanted to look like they’d had a piece of it.
In addition to being tanned, the bright young things of the French Riviera were fit and lean. So this, too, became fashionable. In previous centuries, fat was instead the sign of wealth.
Where do you get all these great fox photos?
