Wow Alex, you've been busy!!

I made a couple new cables today to integrate into my system. The first is a 5 foot pair of Cardas crosslink cable with Canare F-09 terminations, using Cardas solder of course . As Percy states in his catalog this is an excellent recipe for a budget interconnect. I build this cable to run from my television to a passive volume control which will then go to my switchbox so I can finally listen to movies and games with my headphones I haven't built the passive volume control yet, still waiting on a few more parts, but I'll try and post some pics when it's done.



Next is a cable I built in anticipation for my beyond-maxed PPA v2 that Thrice of Rockhopper is currently building me. I didn't want all those Black Gates to go to waste so I made this cable to a pretty high spec. It's a 3.5 foot pair made from Cardas wiring, Cardas solder and Vampire 800C pure copper RCAs, then covered with some fancy flex. Looking forward to hearing the vibes from this one.

Alex, is there much of a difference between the Neutrik NP3C and the NP3X? I have to make an order at partsexpress soon and thought I would pick up a few up if they are pretty similar.

not really... the mini connector stuff I made early in the summer and the long white RCA IC's are from a while back (only changed the heatshrink colors and design on the RCA plugs). only the black RCA cable and XLR cable are the new ones I made recently.

they all are 8-wire braids btw, including the mini stuff.

as for the question about the connector, sent you a PM.

Hi, thanks. My camera is Canon D30 with 100-300mm 1:5.6L lens and polarizer filter for removing reflections.

Those Cardas/Vampire cables look very sexy highflyin9.
