shrink boots would act as strain relief, but heat shrink does nothing for holding flex in place , If Id recommend using dual wall if you want it to hold the flex. even then over time it will lose its adhesive grip, so there are a few other options you can use. epoxy is one way. Though I can't reveal all my tricks. After a few hundred cables, you learn a few things here and there about optimizing durability and termination techniques.

Heatshink over the top to make it look pretty and keep the tubing/techflex in place.
Oh it is all epoxied under the heatshrink (techflex to tubing, tubing/flex to the barrel). What I meant was with the tubing, it is just barely in the end of the barrel. The shrink with epoxy keeps it from moving out of the barrel. The shrink makes the end stiff and then it can't bend back and forth, which without the shrink in place, it would allow the end of the tubing to come out if bent enough.
With the solution it seems pretty damn secure
Thanks for the tips though, I appreciate any criticism/pointers!

Then I decided to go ahead and recable my barely used Koss KCS 75s. Always heard they would sound better recabled and said what the hell. I guess I will have to have my girlfriend compare because she has listened to them alot more than I have
How hard was it to recable the KSC-75?
