BTW about how much would it cost to buy about 18ft of techflex and heatshrink?

Thanks, any advice about the heatshrinking? Also I have four of these: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showd...number=185-202, I thought they were pretty crappy but they actually are relatively expensive, are they any good? Should I keep them since they are free? Or buy new ones from Neutrik or LOK?

Keep in mind that this is the gallery, which is for displaying your work.

That said, for heatshrink, use a heat gun; it's far better than a hair dryer or open flame or anything else.

I'd just use the RCAs you already have, I'm sure they're fine

Power cable using 12gauge(I believe) Monster speaker cable and Hubbel 3 prong to Schurter IEC.

Red! Red! It's hurting my eyes. Did you go with red to cover up the blood you got on it? . J/k.

Many pics...


Overview. The wire braid inside has been covered in a full length of heatshrink to make it fatter which makes the techflex cover look fuller and better.


There's heatshrink on each piece of techflex plus the larger one that covers all three techflex pieces.


Close-up of the Rhodium LOK's


No heatshrink showing outside, clean cut.


The Neutrik mini hole had to be widened with a Unibit #1
What Neutrik connector were you using? They have a 6mm entry one, which would make it easier for larger cables, unless you're already using it, really nice cable btw.

That looks to be the 4mm one. Otherwise I don't think there would have been a need to drill it. The 6mm is surprisingly large.

I believe it's the 4mm one. I actually didn't know there was a larger-entry plug.
Thanks for the comment!

Aha! I ordered 3 things, 1 from Canada, 2 for various states, and they all arrived today. That made me happy.

I recabled my last pair of KSC75's with 26 AWG silver-plater copper /w teflon insulation. (courtesy of navships) The litz isn't flawless, but nonetheless, I'm still pretty proud of it. It's terminated in a Neutrik mini.
