UV shots
closeup of the double layer sleeving under UV
overall i like the cable..looks good and sounds good too
heres another cable i did just for the sake of nothing better to do.
as u can see theres no barrel but only heatshrinked.. thats coz i cant find any barrel that'll fit the damn thing... even the Canare F-12 barrels are too small to fit these cables through...
anyway, the plugs are the cheapo plastic barrel plugs with car speaker cables with 3 wire rounded braid
Other Eq: Philips HP-250 (Temporary Retirement), Koss UR20 (for home use), Somic DJ-840 (broken headband fixed with twist ties and cellotape, cracking drivers - why the hell am i still keeping them???)
Arrived!!:

Both are silver plated copper with teflon (navships)
This was my first time taking photographs so you have to excuse my crummy photography.
Q. Does anyone know where to get maroon TRS connectors with gold contacts?
Q. How do you keep braids tight while you're soldering the second side? I tried wire clamps and rubber bands, but both didn't hold the braid. Unfortunately my last loop kinda unraveled.

I tape it with masking tape. Just wrap the tape tightly around the braid and leave as little as you can get by with for the soldering.

~5 to 6 inch RCA cables for my DAC to amp. Neutrik NYS373-B and NYS373-R connectors, 4x 24 gauge SPC Teflon coated wires (from navships) "Litz braided" in each cable (2 black with yellow stripes for ground, 2 black with red stripes for signal), black Techflex sleeving. The one for the right channel is a little lower on the HeadFive, so it's about a half inch shorter. I really love this RCA connectors! Cheap, sturdy, very tight fitting, easy to work with.
Here're some of the cables I've made in the past month. I must say I've really enjoyed auditioning and fooling around with the different combinations of braids, number of wires, and solder types.
