Systm made a nice video of how to make audio and video interconnects. Someone posted a link a while back, should come up in search.
I haven't had the desire to make video interconnects myself, mostly because you have to worry about the spec (75ohm) which limits you to certain wire, and then you have to buy pricey crimpers that are usually specific to a particular brand.
There is already some good stuff out there that is pretty cheap so you'd have to require a number of cables in order for that crimper to be worth buying, otherwise you might as well buy whats already out there and save a few bucks. Also component seems to be getting fazed out anyway, and I don't see any likelyhood of people DIYing HDMI and DVI cables anytime soon.

I have a question about making a power cable for my dialogue II. The only cable i have lying around is a 4 conductor 24 awg wire. Now as far as the gauge is that way too small? What differences would it make. I realize that not as much current could flow do to the smaller amount of conductors, but how much current can a dac need anways. I was thinking about just doubling up on the conductors for posi and neg. and wrapping some 10 gauge around the casing for the ground. Is this a feasible idea?

Ive typically found a 16/18awg shielded cable to be ideal with digital component s.
Would there be any difference if i used the smaller gauge? What are the downsides of it. I'm still not even sure if ill notice a diff in power cables, im just addicted to making purty cables
