A question to dear highfly9, where you got the beautiful orange headphone cable clip(or it call cable holder)? I can not find it in Taiwan, would you please tell me where can find them? It looks very useful!!
Hi there Palchiu, very nice work! The orange clips are called CableCuffs, I'm totally sold on them. Places like HomeDepot and CableOrganizer.com sell them.

Really? Well actually I must say that the Grado stock cable isn't bad. Since my 325s were the studio retired ones from Veritas a re-cable made a bit more sense. However, I find the microphonics off the stock Grado cable a bit annoying. As well, the whole cord from the "y" assembly up seems to get badly twisted with normal use for me.
Senn 580/600/650 dual mono cable for use with balanced headphone amps. Uses Cat 6 network cable spliced onto the Senn connectors and a 4 pin XLR plug on the other end.
Here's an old cable but I don't think I've posted it yet. This cables use starquad wire, HGA connectors and tech-flex, they connect my home source to the PIMETA(my old Ms-1s and PIMETA are also pictured):
Here are some cables I whipped up last night out of stuff I had laying around:
The first one is a set of RCAs to connect my Karma to my PIMETA when I want to move my rig around. Just cheap RS connectors and wire but it doesn't sound too bad:
Heres a dual RCA to 1/4" connector I made too. I decided to find some use for the old grado "y" in my old cable. RS connectors, Grado cable, Vampire Wire connector:
Component video cable I made & sold ;) & a Palladium cable I'm now using
A little off-topic, sorry, but I am in 'smug mode'
Pic 1 : Took ages to make this one properly. Have since dropped the RCAs and have started using a good quality german RCA connector (aswell as Eichmanns - IMHO the best there is.)
Sold it to a very happy 'customer' - for far more than it cost to make it, financially anyway
Pic 2 : Palladium cable (currently in use as my centre analogue pre-out from my Lexicon processor to my ATi power amplifier.) Basic double-helix design with copper braid, all teflon dielectric, bullets, and a nice braid that was a freebie sample. Dialogue has never been so clear and never had such a deep soundstage. :allteeth:
Next project is a ma-hoo-sive mains cable for my power amplifier.
Cable: 16 AWG silver plated copper with teflon insulation, 2 strands for each signal line.
Connector: gold plated RCA connectors
Need a short cable to connect my PPA to my laptop and desktop in the office. This one sounds pretty nice, very detailed probably due to silver plated copper. Braiding took a bit effor since Teflon is so slick.
