30cm Interconnect Cable
Neutrik NP2X-B Tele 6.35mm
Neutrik RCA (Unknown Model)
Gotham Cable GAC-2 Double Shielded Microphone Cable
Polyester Sleeving
My first try ever at making a cable of any kind. Needed an interconnect from my E-MU 1820 AudioDock to my BT928 headphone amp.

I put these cables together this week.

Sub amp interconnect: Made with mil. Spec three conductor shielded cable that has stranded silver plated copper wire with teflon insulation. I picked up the connectors at a local electronics shop for $1.50/pair. (they don't have any more though. )



Ipod line out: Made with mil. Spec 22 AWG stranded silver plated copper wire with teflon insulation.

Default recent mini to RCA

Well I just finished another mini to RCA with the all desired WBT next gen Ag's.

I find the Y-splitt very well done. Still thinking about another solution though.



Hope you'll like it.

Hans.

Beautiful y-split, very well done. I like the idea of putting heatshrink all the way through it... I might have to steal that.

Default Black Beauty?

Well you are welcome. I think I found the trick of the Y-splitt.
This is even better!



Someday I'll let you in on the secret.

Hi Myo. Well be honest the Y-splitt is the ........!

And often it ruins the capacitive characteristics of the cable and that is the worst that can happen. It ruins the cable!

Now we are lucky, we are working with relatively short cables so capacity is less important. But for the true audiophile it will be noticed.

Like Turbo says, it has all to do with propagation of electrons through a conductor and that is only influenced by three factors, thought up by three nice fellows (European by the way :-) ):

Ohm Impedance
Henry Inductance
Farad Capacity

(please forgive me my typo's)

Rgds Hans.

Excuse the poor photography, my room is to dark.
