DIY Cable Gallery!!

awptickes, I really like the flex you used on your "ugly" cables, what is it? And by the way they aren't that bad, and as long as they work, hey, no big deal, right?

Also: warrior05: How are those Yarbo RCA's from back on page 90? They look awesome. Has anyone else used these?

Long-time lurker, first time poster. Being a cable geek, I've really enjoyed seeing all the incredible, creative work being posted here. Just amazing and inspiring, folks!

I've been making ICs for a while and wanted to contribute my recently completed first "finished" speaker cables.

Home Depot 'HD-14' extension cord, one 3x14ga run per terminal, two runs per side in a light twist, into polished Furutech spades, covered by CleanCut FR Techflex and white heatshrink, individual runs covered in white/red heatshrink

I did two boring cables again (without any decorations). I need these for my tuner and DVD-player, but I will also make a comparison with my headphone rig to find out which one is better.

The plugs are same on both cables, Neutrik NYS 373. Not very nice plugs, but I guess I'll have to live with them. The blue cable is Tasker C208 (23AWG copper condutors), and the black cable is Cordial CSF 250 (20AWG tinned copper conductors).

hm... that switchcraft is big enough i think..
or..
maybe you can just put one each end; one in male plug and another one in female end..

It's the black techflex from qables.com. My internet connection here in Nebraska is incredibly slow, so I'll have to spare you the product page link until a later date. 1/4 inch black trans-reflective tech-flex. It does look good. I like the look of the white/clear 1/8 inch they also sell, I put that on a copper mini-mini interconnect the other day, and I'm really happy with it. I'll have to put up some pictures later.

4 foot RCA-RCA cables. Inner conductor is the signal, with the shield as ground, and of course the same material as my other cables (Profi RCAs, GS-6 cable, 1/4" nylon sleeving). The cables connect from my SOCRAM to my Toshiba SD-3990
Soldering in a garage at 3ºC is not that fun, but I managed.

My 1.5m 3.5mm extension. I use it to get the signal from my audigy from behind my pc case.

The female came from a sh!t scan radio, and the male from sh!t phones, and the cable from some sh!it phones.

Theres no sign of distortion, first i got L and R mixed, but its fixed now. Do you realy think they would sound bad?

Get your self a barf bag
