My first recable job:
It was pretty straight foward and turned out pretty well 
I used 6 strands of SPC (24awg) and 1x techflex all around.
My first RCA LOD:
both sound great~!
I'm happy

WOW i love cables with the clear pvc tubing and then some intricate design on the inside. I think it looks a lot cleaner than just a normal 3-5 wire braid.
How hard was it to get the teflon and pvc "around" the cable?

I would think you could get it through by dropping a rope through and tieing it to the cable or using a cable snake to make it easier... unless you could easily drop the cable through

take a look at Neutrik plugs. You can get some very nice sub $2 RCA plugs

Thanks for the advice. I'm gonna go with the Neutrik NYS352G and find a decent weller.

Just tape the ends and then slide it thru. Teflon is slippery, so it goes real easy inside the tube. the silverwire is pretty easy also to get into the teflon tubing, just take it slow so you dont kink it.
