wow those are some monster thick cables! really like them, those WBT clones are sort of cheap though. Why didnt you get some nice LOKs or something?
Thanks, they're very flexible as well
I'm don't think they're actually WBT clones, they're a non-branded gold plated non-magnetic brass connector. Most likely no worse than the "performance" LOKs (aren't they also brass and an in-house brand to HGA?)
Personally, I really like these more than most of the others I've tried, mind you there haven't been that many, but compared to the non-boutique connectors I've tried, I think these have a better feel to them and the build quality is good as well. Much better than any other cloned connectors I've seen.
Plus, these are screw-lock connectors so if at any point I really feel the need to change them, it's EASY
I just recently tried some Cardas SLVR clones, and those didn't sound as good (which is why the SPC cable using them is for sale for like $20 now and I'm debating just giving it away for cost of shipping since I have no use for it). Plus, I really hated working with them so I know I'll be staying away from Cardas RCA's.
Maybe I'll try some of the Vampire or WBT 0144 connectors when I need to build a new cable, but for now, I'm liking the 2 IC's above.
skyline, you can get a tighter braid with the smaller awg wire you have. Just practice a little bit
No, I meant a tighter braid that still has the bigger flat profile. The braid I'm using is not Litz so I need to try perfect it. The next one should be better though!
Holy mother of god, this took so long to make. About an hour and a half start to finish for a mini-mini! It sounds awesome right now, though I definitely want to try it with some Cryo'd Vampire copper.
That cable is absolutely beautiful! Excellent looking braids. As for cryo'd Vampire wire, Take Five Audio would be the source. Although their prices definitely aren't the greatest...

besides canare/neutrik/switchcraft/ratshack 3.5mm miniplugs, any other nicer looking ones?
if you want a small almost minimalistic looking cable I think the neutrik plugs are the best looking. For something bulkier then the canare is the way to go.
