Pindac and all,
I know this is an older thread, but wanted to see if any of you are still around on this subject. I went a little "manic" and bought a ton of high quality cable to build my own DIY power cables. I have: Neotech NEP 3002 and 3003 UPOCC, Furutech FP-OS32 "Alpha nano", Furutech TCS031 Triple C, Furutech FP-S55N "Alpha nano", Oyaide Tunami 102 SSC, Acoustic Revive 8800 Triple C, and Monosaudio 902 and 903 OFC cables.
For connectors I've got Viborg VF-502 and VF-508 silver plated, Sonarquest P-25/C-25, IeGO 8065 silver plate and 8085 gold plate, and Furutech F-11 and F-28 gold plated.
The problem that I created (even though they are first world problems) is that I really do not know where to start as far and connector and cable matching. Second I have seen two ways of connecting the cables to the connectors: one is using the bare wire and then using a spade such as the FP-209 (gold or rhodium) at the end of the cable and connecting that to the power connectors.
Furutech's own website and videos show using the FP-209 rhodium as the intermediate step and use those to connect to the power connectors.
Any help here would be much appreciated, as these are my first power cables I'm DIYing.....but I do have the proper crimping and soldering tools and experience.
