I made a 6' mini->mini cable for a friend. Neutrik minis and copper wire in a 4-strand roundish braid.

My newly finished cable for my 650s. 22AWG silver wire, silver canare F12 mini stereo, and some 4% silver solder to finish it off. It really saved my 650s for me, I was kinda get bored with them, but it brought them forward for me a large amount, and not so laid back anymore like senns are known for. Sounds Great!

There are various types of braids you can do. MASantos has a great tutorial for most standard braids here. And I've also found this link to be useful. Hope that helps. Sometimes the best way to figure out a braid is to just experiment.

Very nice, did you just cut up your former cable for the connectors?

Just explain to her that all bass detail will be lost without a careful 6-stranded round braid of 22AWG SPC wires in Teflon insulation! Then you can just stick to being a geek

Yes, it's very sad I can braid better than my girlfriend. She told me if we have a daughter, I'm going to be braiding her hair...

yep, just cut the wire with like 1/2" left, then used soldering iron to melt the enamel off the wire and soldered it up. Thanks for the compliment, I know I'm enjoying it!

here's some more:







thought it'd be the most logical thing to make white right, since they ryhme and all
