DIY Cable Gallery!!
This is the DIY cable gallery. Please post pics of your custom made interconnects, power cords, speaker cables, mini-to-mini cables, mini-rca cables, headphone rewires and anything else relevant. Should make for some fun eyecandy.
Please keep posts in this thread limited to images and specs of DIY cables and comments relating directly to them. This is a gallery first and foremost.
People seeking advice on how to build a cable, I encourage you to post here: How to make an interconnect Step by Step With Pics
People wishing to speak about cables in general, please visit the cable forum: Cables, Power, Tweaks, Speakers, Accessories (DBT-Free Forum)
Thanks very much for your understanding.
Here's some of mine:
INTERCONNECTS
Sleeve: Teflon
Conductor: Pure silver 5ns (99.999) 24ga. x2
Config: Triple braid (one sleeve empty)
Termination: Eichmann Bullets
Approximate Materials Cost: $65
POWER CORD
Sleeve: Teflon
Conductor: Silver Plated OFC 10ga. x3
Config: Twisted Pair (ground wrapped around outside)
Termination: Marinco 8215 and Wattgate 320
Approximate Materials Cost: $65
To give credit where credit is due: I've borrowed a couple facets of the designs from Bogdan audio for the ICs and John Risch for the PC.
Here's some how-to's that came in handy:

My K1000 cable built from Canare Starquad cable. (gsferrari is auditioning it currently.)
15 Footer I made for a fellow Head-fier.
K1000 Cable - 5 Foot Crazy Cotton Insulated Solid Silver Sealed in a Airtight Rubber Tube
My Silly Scoubidou Power Cable
Playing with square braiding technique.
I am working on completing a pair of my special balanced XLR solid silver (three strands of cotton insulated 99.99% 22awg) cables. Pics will follow.
I would use the square braid technique, but it uses a ridiculous amount of wire, and is a pain to do.
