February 23, 200620 yr Just some quick cables I made, 0404 breakout cable, XLR-RCA, RCA, XLR, Digital, mini-RCA, Adapters...
March 5, 200620 yr Not the prettiest things, but function over form I guess.. :> I really need to learn how to braid, braided cables look just amazing.
March 15, 200620 yr Banged out some quick and dirty mini/RCA cables last night to use with my Headroom Millett. Components: Neutrik NYS231B Mini Plug Canare L-4E6S Mic Cable Radioshack Heatshrink *bling* Canare F-09 RCAs Total Construction Cost = $10 and will nuke any Monster mini/RCA cable Sound pretty good so far.

March 18, 200620 yr Nate, for "bangin'" those out, they look pretty damn good... Also, do you have a clear heatshrink over the two channels after they split? (or do I have to clean my monitor...)
March 18, 200620 yr I made these cables using Belden 89207 wire and Eichmann Gold Bullet Plugs. Not the best photos in the world but the cables actually sound pretty good.
March 18, 200620 yr Nate, for "bangin'" those out, they look pretty damn good...Thanks man, they took about 45 min. each to build so either I'm getting better at cables or my standards are getting lower . Also, do you have a clear heatshrink over the two channels after they split? On the blue / blue-white cable one pair is in fact covered with clear shrink. I was just messing with the different types/colors that I had on hand since I didn't really care how they looked. So that cable has blue shrink on one side, clear on the other. As far as lessons learned goes I don't think I'll be using the clear any time soon as a single layer cover. The stuff that I have is very thin and I don't think it'll stand the test of time very well. In comparison the red, white and blue that I used on the other parts of the cable is quite nice. Nate
March 21, 200620 yr Author 20awg Teflon coated copper Senn cable for my Balanced Reference due in Friday... just in time for my to leave for Spring Break Sleeving is Reflexive flex for the main part of the cable and Carbon look flex for the ysplits. I used a barrel of a mini plugs for the ysplit to the XLR connectors. I opted to not use one on the Senn connector end to cut down on bulk and weight. Oh and its litz braided...
March 24, 200620 yr Oyaide plugs with VH audio wire and reflexive flex. maybe i should get a set of acrolink plugs in the future and make some crazy ass DIY power cords.
April 5, 200620 yr Author Plugs: Eichmann Gold Bullets w/ cable reducers and Neutrick black/gold mini Wire: Pure Teflon coated silver and pure Teflon coated copper hybrid Sleeving: Clear Reflexive KSC35s with Pure Teflon coated silver and pure Teflon coated copper hybrid recable.

April 16, 200620 yr Oyaide plugs with VH audio wire and reflexive flex. That cable looks familar. Very kick ass cable btw.
May 3, 200620 yr Author UK mains cables. Wattgate 350i AG IEC and Rhodium plated Furutech UK main male plug. 3x12awg cable.
September 8, 200619 yr I'm working on a balanced amp project and it occurred to me that I don't have balanced "test" cans so last night I whipped these up:
October 7, 200619 yr Mm...nice. Thanks. It's really quite overkill. I use it for my headphone amplifier. http://members.shaw.ca/Orcinus2/AV/HA-1 I wanted something that would complement the interconnects, if only visually.
