yep, a friend of mine made the blank boxes and i did the paint and finish job and put them together etc.
they are very goooood btw! the sound is so damn natural <3
i made a millet. it sounded good with my k-1000's, so i made a 1/4" -> xlr (4-pin) cable. 22ga silver plated coper, 4 strands twisted, techflex outside. about 12ft long
in an effort to make my audio system more like aerius's audio system i recabled my akg k-340's. everyone knows i bought em because he has em... phildox too :k340: 1/8" canare plug at the end so it will work with my dac/amp. 4 strands of the same wire as my k-1000 cable but braided in a circular patern. the lump in the "split" is strain releif. the strands go from plug to bass driver. internal wiring of the k-340 has been replaced with oxygen free coper 20ga magnet wire.

I finally got around to posting some of the Senn cables I make fo myself. Each one has a purpose. Right now the three cables I have made are from the Starquad family, two beeing Canare, and on beeing Mogami. I have not spent enough time with all three to comment on sound, other than they all sound better than stock.
Let me know what you think

Looks great! How do you find the Mogami compared to the Canare Starquad in terms of flexibility?

Wow man, that is genius. I never would have thought that a green wire would look so good with the grey HD-580's...but is looks sweeeeeet.
Also I have to commend you on that Y thing under the shrink tube...the fact that it has ribs like the connectors makes it match, looking VERY professional. If the shrink tube was just a little cleaner (straight lines) it would look like it came from the factory that way...though then it wouldn't be hand made...so it wouldn't be as cool. Keep up the nice work.
Strangely enough I want to get some HD580's now...to recable! Oh well my HF-1's just said they didn't think it was a good idea. You ever considered selling HD-6## series recables like this? I'd be interested in that green one (present for my brother who has some HD600's).

I definately do not plan on ever making cables like RnB, it just takes me too long. It was easy to get the color though, it is just blue canare starquad with ogre colored tech-flex. And they look even better in person.
The y connecter cover is actually stock, as I made from the starin relief of the original 1/4" connecter for the 650 cable. I know that the shrink blows, and I plan to fix it in the future.

It is more flexible, but only because there is no covering on it. I have never directly compared them in naked flexibility, but I think the canare might come out ahead.
Thanks for the comments, suggestions are welcome.

Not sure what 'orge' is, but do they look green in real life? The top photos looks very green...now the one below it with the 1/4" plug, that is a different flex (white) over the same blue wire correct?

Look on wirecare for ogre, its under their color options for standard techflex, none of the fancy stuff, just simple PET
