Where can I get the 6mm entry gold tip Neutrik minis?

Two mini interconnects for a friend...



Braided 26AWG Silver plated copper, Neutrik connectors



Mini StarQuad, Neutrik connectors, black 1/8" TechFlex

The orange bit is to keep the split cables together so they won't rub against each other and make horrible microphonics. Heatshrinked cables are much stiffer that the stock ones.


Neutrik plug head with generic barrel. The stock neutrik opening is too small for the canare to pass through easily.


Heatshrinked part of the cable.

Wow, I'm making an interconnect very similar to that, very nice work

Thanks

The Mogami is a bit stiffer than I'd like, but it still works fine. I really like the Switchcraft RA connector, and of course the ProFis are great. StarQuad/GS6 with 1/4" nylon fits perfectly into the mini's barrel, which made for a really nice heatshrinkless finish. Despite the insane cost of the Switchcrafts... I might have to buy some more!!! Good luck with your own

My first interconnect, still working on it but you get the idea:

[Hevimees]

Here's my version of a no-nonsense interconnect cable:





The real reason why I didn't use any nylon braid was that when I heatshrinked it onto the cable it wouldn't fit inside the connector An excellent cable in any case, and although not as classy as it would be with nylon braid, I actually like the dark green colour.

Here's a short braided cable I made to find out if braided cables are any good:



The wire is 20 AWG tinned copper. My regular interconnects are made with the same connectors and Tasker C850 cable (two strands of 24 AWG silver plated copper wire and external shield). When I compared these two there was a slight difference, with the braided cable providing a bit more bass.

This cable was however too short for regular use, so I dismantled it and used the connectors elsewhere. I'll probably make a longer one sometime in the future and test it with my new CD player.

Awesome cables, even without any covering. I have never seen cables with the green color. Again great job.
