Here's a subwoofer cable I made a while ago. Made with Tasker C850 cable, ViaBlue Redline nylon braid and cheapo RCA-connectors from Biltema

I've also made interconnect cables that are otherwise identical to this one, but have better quality RCA-plugs (locking WBT-clones, from Biltema of course

).

wasn't easy to make. might have been easier and better looking if it were a little bit longer..
anyways, here is my machine gun ohms adapter, 3 in one

Now that, is awesome cantsleep. I was actually thinking of making something like that. Which resistors did you use?

Nice work to you too Hevimees, I love the sleeving.

thank you. it contains 68ohms, 100ohms, and 220ohms

Cantsleep,
That thing is a beast, I've never seen anything like that before

Hmmm, what exactly is an ohms-adapter?

Thank you, I like the sleeve very much as well.

I've been thinking of making myself a pait of Litz braided interconnects. It seems that usually people use teflon insulated wires for that. Is there a reason for this? Could I just use very thin speaker wire for that, and how would it differ from using teflon insulated wires?

I just found this thread and there have been many pictures of beatiful cables. Some day I hope to be as good as some of you.

it adds extra imp. and it tends to change the sound in some ways.. it works well with IEMs and grados

Maybe a switch that switched between the 3 different resistor combination might have sufficed? But ofcourse, if you did use that method you wouldn't have a make shift camera tripod in the combo also, now would you!?!

My first interconnect
I used CAT5E and connectors from the local electronic store and used left over sleeving from a computer build.
