Just hacked together this adapter with some old connectors to try out the ultrasoft multifilament nylon I just got. I'm gonna use when replacing all my existing cables, and recabling both headphones...
Wow, lots of new stuff here! mb3k... gorgeous cables you got there. You have no idea how jealous I am of those ProFis Nylon/ProFi has to be one of the best minimalist combinations you can have aesthetically.
I myself really need to make a new order. I've been interested in trying out some Belden LC-1, with a capacitance of 12.2 pF/ft. LC-1 + Eichmann Copper bullets I think would be an excellent recipe for a great interconnect.

Just check out my sig, there's a bunch of links of the "boxes" you're talking about.

Go team Nylon! Not too many people use it, as far as I can see, so it's a nice change. Where did you purchase your ultrasoft nylon?

Slowly building the second rig...
Those cables are so clean MB3K, wish I had the skills to do that! Are you using the nylon multi-filament or the mono-filament? Any difference between the two?
Here's my third cable so far, mini to mini made from the same parts; Litz braided 22awg copper, Neutrik minis, and flame retardent Techflex. Just tested it in my car since I have no use for it at home...it works! Sounds decent for the few bucks it cost me too .
I personally can't stand the cheap feel techflex has, so I got a spool of the multifilament nylon from cableorganizer.
Amen. I hate techflex. I don't understand why people will put it over the nice, "legitimate" (for lack of a better word), smooth feeling of rubber. The only function it has at all for me is making sure four little cables don't go all over the place.
