I built a Kimber TCSS headphone cable (clear teflon) It's going to be used for a ultra-modded Alessandro MS-1. The two runs leading up to the cups are covered in Nylon multifilament, the rest is bare. Fatman711 is making a leather band for it, and another headfier is making some Mopani deep cups for it. I'm crossing my fingers that it'll be done in a month or so.

It is fairly stiff, but tolerable. From a quick glance there may only be 6 strands in there. It seems to be more flexible, and is definitely thinner, than the 20 gauge Vampire copper in Polyethylene.
