I dislike the shrink with those enormous F12 connectors.

I dislike shrink in most cases - this is why I now prefer to use the F-09's almost exclusively for RCAs. The strain relief on those connectors look 10x better than a shrunk connection in my book.

You guys have been busy this holiday! Looks good everyone! I think shrink has its place and serves its purposes but I try to use it as little as necessary. Infact I have a few things that should show up soon so that there will be little to no visible shrink on my cables

Thanks, I was trying for a gold/black cable to compliment the headphone.

To those who have done KSC-35/75 cable upgrades, what cable did you use and where did you make the physical connection for the cable.

I have one 25' done in similar way, just that I used also the Neutrik 1/4, casue i need it in a 90 degree angle cause it is permanent, and it is pretty transparent, as far as I can tell nothing is missing...
