They were part of a group buy a while back. The only way you can procure them is to put up a "WTB" ad in the FS - Cables and Accessories section to see if anyone has a few laying around that they didn't use.

What gauge and configuration, if you don't mind my asking? I've found that the Marinco/Wattgates usually don't like wire bigger than 8 gauge. I have run into a 6 gauger which I thought was pretty crazy, I guess the person drilled out the inlets so the wire would fit.

That is a bummer, I can't bring myself to justify the price of a Equinox or similar cable, that is about what I pay for the headphones. What do they use on those cables, particles from the hair of Joan of Arc, mix with gold from Egypt relics? It could be cool to A/B those cables with one you make yourself with top quality materials... before you buy them.

Very nice Y split on that senn recable. How do you make the middle barrel portion (in between the split look like a perfect barrel shape??
thanks for the compliment, its just a leftover mini neutrik barrel i had sitting around, slid over the joint and heat shrunk in place. I'm thinking what might be nice as well is a 1.5" long piece of 5/16"-3/8" dia aluminum tube (available at any hobby shop/craft store). I've actually thought about machining a y-split from some 1/2" aluminum round stock or rectangular stock with one large hole in the bottom, and two small holes in the top, using set screws or epoxy to keep everything in place... just haven't found the time to do it yet.
Specs: ~2.5 feet, Canare starquad (Purple), Switchcraft RA mini plug, Vampire RCA plugs, white techflex over starquad before split, white techflex over black and red techflex after split.
Action shot!

So you use epoxy to hold the barrel in place? That's what i've always wanted my cables to look like, I haven't got the Y part down, its my final step to make them look really professional. Great work!

untwist the quad. twist the 2 pairs together. slide tech flex over each run of the R & L pair and the main cable. heatshrink the bottom end (nearest the 'Y') of the R&L pair. Heatshrink the end of the main cable, overlapping the R & L twisted pairs by about .5". slide neutrik barrel over the 'Y' joint. heatshrink in place. no epoxy was used and its pretty stout. the heatshrink is enough to keep everything in place.
