Made these in September 2006. Canare Star Quad and Switchcraft mini plugs.

These were my first cables ever. They took me like 3 hours to make from absolute start to finish.

Made these in September 2006. Didn't quite measure all the separate cables correctly though. lol. Neutrik plugs and Canare Miniature Star Quad color coded for my PC speakers.

I guess I'll get around to getting them the right lengths sometime. One thing I learned is that the Neutrik plugs are a LOT easier to solder for a noob. took me lless than an hour to make all of the cables.

I don't know if this is fair game for the DIY Cable Gallery, but oh well. Recabled my KSC75s with Canare Mini Star Quad and a Switchcraft mini.

Took about 30 minutes. The cable is about 5 feet long, so I might end up shortening it sometime but for now I'm just enjoying them

D'oh, I just read post #1

Ah, I wouldn't know, I haven't done it myself.

Nice work werdwerdus! You might want to try widening the entry of the Neutrik's with a Unibit, or getting the 6mm entry ones, as opposed to 4mm. I think you could get the heatshrink to look a little more seemless.

Woot woot, new Qables 6.5mm Y-splits came in today! Just to let everyone know, they have the new bigger size in to fit our normal StarQuad O.D. cables

Soon to make mine... just gotta wait for some connectors to come in.

I am glad you like it, I did not gave big news to it, now I think I should have.
Anyway the bigger one is also out of different material which allows much easier glueing.
2 seconds fast glue or alikes will surely do the job whereas on the smaller 5mm sized ones you really need hotglue.

Enjoy! Cant wait to see your work using it.

Exactly what I was thinking.. At first I was unsure if the two sides would have enough clamp-force to stick together, but I'll try dabbing a few drops of CrazyGlue to keep it together.

The 5mm has a clamp build into the mould but it was not what we expected it to be so with the bigger 6.5mm we left the clamp out because glueing was needed anyway.

Good luck

here one of my creations.
