Thanks RH Customs/werdwerdus for the nice comments. It's always fun to have some feedback on something you really enjoy doing

Nice job with your efforts warrior05. Nylon makes everything look great

)

Just finished up my first recable with my KSC75s. It is pretty sketchy on the outside since the original covers on the casing snapped in half and I am forced to use duct tape to make sure that the terminals dont get too dirty until I find a better replacement. I am still pretty happy with it though, sounds much cleaner without the volume pot. They were much easier to solder to than I expected too, though those stupid "no strain" poles that the original wire wrapped around kept melting

What do you mean with "cotton core"?

Nice looking cables in any case. What cable and connectors did you use?

i started with a 1/4" cotton rope. wrapped 2 strands of 26 awg 99.99% pure silver wire. covered the wire with 4 layers of teflon tape then finished off with nylon multi-filament sleeving. the connectors are german yarbos - 24k gold plated brass. i'm very happy with them. seemed to have added a bit of air and clarity to my set-up. not harsh at all.

24ga SPC RCA -> Mini

mADmAN · 10-28-2006, 10:30 AM

made 2 mini-rcas to test wth my newly acquired icute battery II headamp

this one is with unknown cheapo plugs + unknown 4-core shielded cable

finally decided to get my hands on ORIGINAL Canare L-4E6S

red shrink is for right and the blue+white cable is actually shrinked with clear heatshrink meant for left. plugs are Canare F10.

mini is a 24k gold plated Radioshack plug. yes yes i know radioshack plugs sux but they didnt have the F12 in stock. so i used this plug which i bought while i was in San Francisco a few weeks back.

EDIT: I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of "REAN" stereo mini plugs before... any thoughts on them?

In the past when I've bought the Neutrik minis, about half of them were branded Rean, and as far as I can tell they're exactly the same

now thats interesting.... but the REANs i have are only around USD1 per piece.. is it supposed to be THAT cheap?

mine happen to look like this

the entry is also too small for any canare or maruni or even the unknown 4-core cable used above to go in.
