hembergler,
I found taking a fireplace lighter (or just a normal lighter) to singe the loose ends of the techflex is a very very good way to make sure they don't fray

Slowly building the second rig...
Custom 1/8th inch male-to-male cable for my c-moy amp.
built using only the finest, most exlusive "Cheapo de Generica" parts that money can buy.
Once again, constructed at "chateau de Skudmunky".
Yeah, Rs was going out to get some plugs (from Radio shack) and was nice enough to get me some too, as long as we soldered asap. Here's what I did:
Comparison of my old, clunky cable and my new small DIY one.
beauty shot, click for really big version:
'Nother shot, I've molded the wires so it won't cause any stress on either my amp or Zen Micro headphone jacks.
Here it is in action, click for biggerness.

hembergler,

I think I've found out a decent way to work with the techflex now. I'm just cutting it a bit too long to begin with, and then taping it down with electrical tape. Once the tape is covered up by the cover of the connector, it looks pretty slick, especially if the connector fits tightly.
Oh, and I also cut off the strands on my first cable, and put some heatshrink onto it, I'd be willing to take a photo if anyone wants to see it. (which I doubt )

I'm honestly not sure if I'm using this forum right.
I have been trying to find some colored ptfe or other tubing for my cables. I would like it to be flexible and available in various colors. The diameter needed at the moment is about 6mm or 1/4in. O.D. Though I will likely need larger in the near future.
I found Nylotube, but have only found it online and in bulk. I'd rather not waste the money on 100' or more just to see if it fits my needs. if it doesn't I'm out a few weeks and 3/4 of a benjamin.
The tubing would be purely decorative as the the wire itself is double shielded and insulated.

A long Mini-Mini cable (Connecting my cMoy to my soundcard)
Short Mini-Mini cables (One made with canare starquad and the other two with braided cheap Maplin cable)
A Mini-RCA cable (Connecting my Sony Speakers to my soundcard)
[Edit] Took it away. Just realised it could sound like i'm wanting you lovely people to say nice things. :-P Thanks Owen Bartley for your postive comment. :-) [/Edit]
I haven't been to that site before I don't think, they have some nice stuff.
However I'm looking for some tubing to cover my wiring and make everything nice and smooth on the outside. I would primarily need white and black, but would also like red, blue and green. Maybe even grey.
