This thread on Audiogon details someone's experiences of building IC. Very good read.

    Very nice article. His comments about the use of gold wire and cotton insulation were interesting. I've heard that before. Seems to be a potent combination (if you can afford it).

    I'd be curious to know what gear he used to test all of those wires.

    Looks like the thread was removed as I can not find it on Agon. Guess it provided too much information on how to build cables.

    He angered the cable marketing gang. It was a decent read but it gave me a headache.
