and a couple starquad/F12 mini-mini cables

What did you use there for the first KSC75 pic? It looks nice, and fairly limp.

Folloing ar emy first two DIY projects. Both took a couple of hours to make ssince I'm not used to the tendencies of making stuff like this, but I'm happy. The 1/8" - 1/8" cable is braided SPC and the RCA cable is Star Quad. First, my interconnect from my MD to LDM+. It's about 8" from tip to tip and is the first cable that I did:







Next is the RCA Cable that I made a little while after I made the 1/8" interconnect:





I think it turned out a bit better, but I'm pretty happy about both. Thanks for all the advice and comments

Nice first cables. One question did you use a lighter or a heat gun for the heat shrink?

believe it or not an electric stove

Is that PVC heatshrink?

[SoundGoon]

I don't know actually. It's from Radioshack, and it's shiny and I think it looks kinda tacky. I just ordered some from wirecare.com today so hopefully it will solve that prolem

Polyolefin heatshrink is what most people use and most places sell, but I guess that's Radioshack for ya. I'm amazed they still even have anything DIY related.
