Well, being snowed in yesterday, I decided to try my hand at making cables.
My first attempt:
Its a little right angle to right angle mini connector to go between my cmoy (built yesterday as well) and my ipod. Works wonderfully. Doesnt look the greatest, and the heatshrink aint perfect, but it works. They are Nerutrik right angle connectors.
Second attempt:
This is about a 5" mini female -> mini male cord. What you cant see is that there are 75 ohm resistors connected to the left and right channels in there, to up the impedance on my hd595's. Works wonderfully at bringing out the bass. Calrad male and female mini connectors.
Third and final attempt of the day:
Its about a 5'2" mini->rca cable, which goes between my computer and my marantz 2226 reciever. I think it turned out pretty well, but getting that split done right was a major PITA. Its a male calrad mini on on end and some male nerutrik rca's on the other.
All of these cables use silver plated copper wire. All of them are blue because thats all that i have around the house. Im still waiting for my colored techflex shipment to come in, but i couldnt wait any longer.
Let me know whats you think of my first attempt at making wire.

But if someone wants to ask Jude about it, I would be down.
