I think the best looking 3.5mm plug is the black Neutrik w. gold plated contacts, very classy and under $1.50 too.
Just finished up some more ICs. Thought my SPC ICs were too bright in my SS setup, so ordered some Cardas DIY wire and went to town. Very nice cable, it's 4mm in diameter so fits the Neutrik plugs very very nicely, no need for heatshrink. A little disappointed with the Y-joint on the mini-RCa, think my heatshrink was a little too big, but it was all I had on hand. Sounds great, made my system warmer and less fatiguing to listen to.
Slick looking braid Skyline!! Reminds me of the larger Jena Labs interconnects, i'm sure it wasn't the easiest thing to pull off.
Thanks for the compliment Highflyin9! I really like the look of this braid, hopefully in the future I'll be able to try it out with some really nice wire.
i think i made it too tight. the cable is a bit stiff.
i use 30 AWG silver plated copper with teflon insulated.
sound suprisingly better than the triple tri-braid.. which in total using 9 wire, while this i only use 8 wire.

Good lord where did you guys found these sick braiding technique, this look so good!
If it is from the net let us know, head-fi will be flooding with good looking cable like yours...and who know what next, the world!

Nice braid. Any reason why you chose 30awg? I've found that anything over 26 awg for stranded becomes too contricted in sound even when multiple wires are used to enlarge overall awg. Ime I've found that less wires with a larger awg (18-24 is prefect for me) sounds significantly more refined and dynamic then double or tripled up smaller awg ones. Just imo of course though.
hi everyone, here's my first try with the vampire pure silver stranded 22 awg. i used 7 wires (one for grounding, three for each channel) as it fits perfectly into the canare f-12 plug. it sounds better than any other wires i've used and total cost was $25. the braid style is same as the one used by jennifer of jena labs and it seems to be one of the easier braid.
here's one using a five wire braid with 18 gauge jena cryo wires
