That's a tough act to follow grailer. I humbly present my first cables...
Thanks for the kind words.
Yours are very nice cables, daggerlee! You don't need to be anything but proud of your work. I especially like the colour-coded heatshrink around the leads of the mini-phono to RCA cable. Great idea!
after getting really frustrated with it yesterday, and throwing it in the trash a couple times from anger, and two lost 1/8" gold plated stereo plugs, i finally finished it up today. Tested with a multimeter in resistance mode to make sure the channels werent interfering with eachother or the ground.
-used 24 gauge copper speaker wire from radioshack
it's kinda long because my millet im working on is gonna be on top of my computer case, and i want it to stretch from the soundcard.

Nice cables! Is there any advantage to using more than 1 conductor per channel?
Braiding is said to improve noise rejection and improve performance. That said, I have never made RCA cables with only 2 conductors( 1 signal 1 ground). But I can hear the difference between these and low cost ones that came with my all in one stereo.
If you search google for Litz braid, you'll find some infor regarding this. There are many cable companies out there that refer these braids as good cable construction techniques.

I've heard that it does lower the resistance of the cable, but whether or not it makes a difference that you can noticably hear, that's up to your ears to decide.
