Another state of the art Paranoid combination. Cable is made out of high quality cooper with Neutrik connectors and wires are treated for maximum electrons transfer (my secret). Enjoy.
I have seen many of your cables, and they all have that fantastic covering. Where do you get it? Feel free to pm me if you like.
Thanks

I agree, looks like cotton. Would work great for the L and R runs after the Y on a headphone recable...since there is probably minimal noise. My recabled portaPro's PET is very loud if you move. they 'scatch' at stuff and make quite a bit of noise...this has kept me away from recabling my SR-80's.

Ive noticed PET microphonics more evident on some cans then others.
Grados are super sensitive to PET microphonics, however the Senns are not nearly as sensitive as the Grados.
Obviously due to the design, senns have more dampening between the wire and your ears. Grados and I suppose portapros are so minimalistic in design that there is pratically zero buffer zone for microphonics to travel through.
with grados the wire continues all the way up until less then an inch from the drivers and your ears.
senns have huge velour pads, drivers farther away from the ears, large cups and the wire has to run through a series of connectors.
if PET microphonics bother you that much, you should stay away from IEMs, eat with IEMs on and you hear explosions go off in your head.
my recabled grados sound like a zipper running up and down when I go walking around with them. but PET over the leads do serve some beneficial purposes other then aesthetics, it helps prevent kinking of the leads.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is an IEM? Inner Ear Monitor?

I agree with both, the PET has a purpose (protection, so to speak), but I bet the noise is brutal. I get virtually no noise from the factory cable, so I think it'll stay...I was just tempted because I heard claims of the highs being tammed with a recable.
Now where are my HF-1's?

Mini to RCA
red and white 22 AWG Silver plated copper
Switchcraft rca and mini
Black 1/4" and 1/8" tech flex
3/8" 1:2 heatshrink
My first ever cable:
my craptastic y-joint
Lessons learned:
Pacific Radio rips your on shipping UPS
Don't use 3/8 heat shrink on 1/8 inch techflex
don't get your lighter to close or techflex does melt
don't use pliers on gold plated RCA connectors
sound quality? well the bass is a lot more present and tighter than with the old 2 dollar cable from best buy. also, sound on amp can be set about 10 decibles lower with same volume as before, this contributes to overall SQ.

This is an Emu 1212M cable. Built out of Canare Star quad cable and Rca connectors. 1/4 connectors are Dayton and are nicely wrapped in Neon Green Tec flex. I swear, this thing is alive and can awake me up at night.
