Decided to make some new speaker cables, but since the biggest wire I had in any quantity was 20 gauge I had to braid a metric arseload of wire:

Crimony! How long did that take you?? Braiding those 1ft RCAs above took me about 1/2 an hour... your run must've taken a day!

For the braiding part, about 5-10 minutes per 7 foot cable, of which there were 8. I used some kapton insulated wire for this because of how fast it can be braided versus PVC or teflon.

:palm: still wondering if this would actually work, LOL??????

Only if you want twisted instead of braided

yeah, I saw that after I did a quick search for them. Hehe. Silly me, I was actually thinking about getting one.

A go over with the polishing cloth can help bring out the shine in those highs you know. :D

Except now I have images of crusty bowls of abandoned noodles and a heap of socks turning to compost.

Ok so I cleaned up the stand all nice and shiny like, and I didn't get any improvement in the highs at all. What a gyp. :rolleyes:

Very nice Fitz!

Thanks Steve! :dan:

Gah, talking about wire, I need to get more. I keep running out.

Damn those are pretty!

That is actually black nylon techflex... must be the flash picking up the white teflon tape underneath it. I'm no photographer, that's for sure :palm: But thanks!
