With GrandEnigma's help I was able to make a cable for the SR-60 I bought. its 24 AWG stranded silver plated copper covered in teflon. I used 4 strands and braided them using the litz technique. it's terminated with a small nuetrik 3.5mm jack that GrandEnigma was nice enough to send to me. the total length of the cable is 10'







thanks again Grand

Looks good, where did you get the wire from?

I bought it from an ebay selelr (NAVships I beleive) his name comes up alot around here. he sells 50' for ~5-10 dollars (24/26 AWG) and shipping is very cheap if you buy more than one spool. He ships really fast too, I ordered like 250' worth of wire, he charged me like $4 in shipping and I had it a day after he told me it shipped

I call it......mini-mini cable o'crap. Lol, hey it works and barely cost anything. My first cable done. I knew it wouldn't be ahrd but I felt I should start off with something cheap and simple just to make sure I could. Sometimes its just fun to start from the bottom.

navships ships SOOO fast. its crazy, idk how he does it. I like his wire too. I have bought several rolls. Some for audio and some for other hookup needs. The RCA IC's that I have are made of his stuff and it sound fine to me, no noticable problems at all. Although I'll prob replace it with starquad soon enough
