Nice job on all of them, they look very clean May you have successful inching of the nylon in the near future.

LOL. It actually only took about 45 minutes to braid the 12 foot cable, and maybe a little over half an hour to sleeve and terminate it. I listen to the stereo while I'm making these, so it doesn't feel like work at all; I just zone out to the music and don't really pay attention to how my hands are moving, so I'm meditating and getting something productive done!

A quicky from me, this is my source to HP amp cable, just finished it... sounds soo much better then the $2 jobbie from kmart!

hey guys... me from malaysia and ive been lurking around in this thread and decided to join the fun..

forgive the n00bness of the cables..coz thats what i am in terms of DIY cables.. absolute NOOB

1st one ive ever made... male mini - 2x female mini splitter.
4 pairs of CAT5 cable twisted


yeah i know its ugly.. but it gets better...

next one would be male RCA - 2x female RCA splitter. 2nd one ive ever made.
using unknown 4-core shielded cable



UV FEVER!!!



okok...its getting better so bare with me..the following 2 are the 3rd and 4th ive made.. male rca - male rca. used for video signal...dont think it affects quality...but i made it just for fun




the black sleeved is using a 2-core shielded microphone cable labeled as "Maruni Professional Microphone Cable Japan" on the cables whereas the blue sleeved is using the same 4-core shielded as the RCA splitter

all plugs are cheapo unknown plugs costing around 1USD except the male RCA plugs on the RCA splitters..that would be around 2USD

canares are available here but getting them would mean having to go thru traffic jam in the city centre and not forgetting the friggin exhaust fumes and heat and also lack of parking (or a friggin expensive one).. and that trip will cost me like 2 hours...hence the use of unknown or cheapo stuff for the learning stage...

will be making 6 mini-minis soon for my 2x Edifier R501 MK-II using the Maruni cables and cheapo plugs again. but gonna have to enlarge the entry first. and figure out how to sleeve them as the only sleeves widely available here would be the vantec cable sleeves meant for PC - meaning pre-cut length.

by the way, the last 2 pix of the male-male RCAs.... the sleeves are actually shoelaces

Cantsleep,
That's neato... twisted all the way to the 1/4" jack. Never seen that before.
Was it hard to cram 2 cables into the jack?
