Beautiful cables mADmAN! And nice work using imagination with sourcing sleeves. I think I'll start looking also for shoelaces for my next cable.

Just got done making my first IC's. I've got to say, I am very happy with them. They look great IMHO. I was able to pull them off without using heat shrink, and it looks better that way I think.

Canare L-2T2S Black & Red
Neutrik RCA Plugs
Techflex

Just ordered two rolls of wire from navships. This will be the first time I stray from starquad hehe And using tech flex for the first time. And it's awesome that navships is located in Iowa (at least the items are?)!
