Default UK DIY cable parts suppliers online - are there any?

Other than CPC, I can't find anywhere that sells the partrs to make your own cables. Want to make my own 3.5mm to 3.5mm for my portable rig.

Anyone got any good links? Want to make some nice looking cables.

You're Welcome. I have some others in my favorites on other computers, so I'll pop in some other names when I can.

Any idea where I could find the Senn HD650 cable terminators in the UK?

I know I can order them from the USA, but I'd prefer a place in the UK, if possible.

You might want to email Hans @ Qables ( Sponsor ). They are in the Netherlands so that would be closer and Hans is always full of good ideas

I am in UK and have used Take Five Audio (Thanks Dazzer1975!) that are based in Canada- I ordered on sunday and received my parcel the following Thursday!! As good as local, if not better speed wise... as for price wise - they are about 2-3 TIMES cheaper than UK based hificollective. Shipping from Canada is CHEAPER than hificollective's domestic rates (Something like $6CAN).
