Lol indeed the most expensive does not mean best. However given that the gold on the next line down quite literally rubbed off the connectors, and the fact they cost only $3 each I thought, why not go crazy.
I currently still have no faith in expensive connectors for better sound, although the amp I'm using now would be the one to test that theory with.
Well as long as you're happy with the results, that's what counts That's a very modded 325 in any case
Thanks.
In fact, I find myself enjoying the overall quality of the cable more than the actual sonic benefits. It's hard to tell from the pics, the whole thing is very solid (I actually impressed myself). As well, my new cable doesn't have those annoying microphonics where the cord enters the cup as it is big enough to completely fill the hole.

For me that's a minor annoyance to DIY headphone cables, it's very noticable during listening so if it's not perfect it will drive you crazy until you pull it apart and rebuild it

There is one part of the cable that I'm still going to work on a bit - the "Y". You can't tell from the pic but I'm not 100% happy with the way the heatshrink formed it is a bit pinched looking in one spot. I'll think I'll try a suggestion I saw on here before: Taking a small piece of small diameter pipe and covering the "Y" with that and heatshrinking that piece onto the cable.

That looks really good. I think I'll add it to my bag of tricks. I'm going to do small batch of cables soon too. I'm building a nice set of RCAs that are nice and long so I don't have to get off my butt to adjust the volume on my amp(Do you guys think Eichmann Bullets would be overkill for my setup?), as well I'm building 6 RCAs for the 5.1 connection from my Pioneer DVD player to my Pioneer reciever. I'm thinking I'll have them running all together in large diameter techflex(I think 3/4" or 1" should do it) and then doing a pipe piece and having them break out into 6 individual connections(each in a layer of thinner tech-flex). Probably gonna use these connectors for the termination since I don't want to go poor buying all 12 connectors.
