I have tried the Google process and am prolly not entering the correct cryptic sequences to get what I am after lol.
I have lurked on here for a while now and THX to this site I gather the gumption to start building my own cables, whether they be guitar, various y connects, and RCA's. I no longer have to settle for the ratshack quality or pay out the arse for monsters or street wires.
I am still uncertain if my cables are anywhere near the quality yours are, but t least I don't have to give my valued body organs to have decent looking and performing pieces.
THX for any help and advice, and ^^ is some absoutley amzaing work.
Hey crzy, and welcome to the habbit (I mean hobby)! That type of braiding is called Litz Braiding. It is done using 4 or more cables, as seen here. there are many variations on it, and if you search Head-fi for it, you should find an instruction post on a few basic techniques. Hope this helps and best of luck!
