I've been making cables for couple of years now, also for other people. This is my latest creation:

Nice cable Paavola, very clean.

Here's another of mine, this one's to hook up my 1212m to my IVR. It's about eight feet long with silver right angle 1/4" plugs and LOK Rhodium rcas. My iron is way too big for these tiny little LOKs. I think it's finally time to upgrade from this pos '80s one.

Thanks Laxx! I had a really hard time terminating the RCAs on these because the tip of my iron couldn't really fit into the space to solder the signal wire. I think I might have to stop being so cheap and pick up a Hakko.

Picked up a pretty inexpensive pair of K701's that were in need of a new cable, threw some twisted pairs of SPC on there, and had myself some new cans . They were a real pain in the arse to get open though....but once i did, it was super simple.

Just finished this Cardas 4x24 cable for my Sennhseir HD600's. So far it sounds very nice, can't wait until it burns in. I especially love the light blue shade to the cable, it's actually somewhat darker than the photo, but you can still see a little blue under the nylon sleeving.
