That's one fatty powercord, was it hard to solder? Looks nice!


Got a question about some parts. Is this a good price for Reflex Techflex? I don't really need the clear techflex they bundle it with and would rather buy it buy the foot so I could buy a twenty ft spool, but I can't seem to find any place else that sells both heatshrink and the Carbon Techflex.

BTW, do you guys know what kind of sleeving this is?

Sleeving on the power cable or on the XLR cable? That was from the DFW meet. I got to look at that whole setup!

The fancy white XLR cables. Wish I could have been at the meet, sounded like fun .

Looks like flame retardent white streaker techflex to me.

I just recabled my recabled KSC75's that had StarQuad. The mini connector kept shorting out the right channel, and in general it was just too heavy. So, I replaced it with a longer mini StarQuad cable, and soldering the mini correctly this time.

Here's the one big happy family...



(mini StarQuad, stock, SPC)

[hembergler]

Total length: a little over 1 meter each
23 AWG 99.999% Silver in teflon tubing for signal
26 AWG SPC copper for ground
Copper braid
Nylon multifilament
Neutrik ProFi
Cardas QuadEutectic solder

Lessons learned:
-Nylon multifilament is hard to work with
-Copper braids are hard to work with
-Feeding a copper braid through nylon multifilment is excessively hard
-Silver is more malleable than I thought
-Feeding 1 meter of 23 AWG silver into a 22 AWG teflon tube by hand... is a dumb idea
-Neutrik ProFis are awesome
-Cardas solder is very easy to work with

Why do you think that? I have use nilon multifilament for my cables and it easy to work with. I use a sharp scissors to cut and then use a lighter to melt the end just a bit so it doesn't come loose.

I do't think it is hard at all.

Well, it frayed at the ends a bit, but nothing too bad, it doesn't expand, and it's harder to bunch up to move out of the way. I think the main reason why I found it so hard, was trying to shove 1 meter of a copper braid through it. My dad had to help me on the first interconnect, and the second one took me 40-odd minutes by myself. I think I just ordered it one size too small, but if you press down on it now, you can definately feel that it's loose.

Why do you feel the need to post another user's photobucket gallery? This is the DIY cable thread.
