Nice spider rack, did you get that from Cattylink? Looks like you have stained the wooden spokes, looks very cool.

I am planning on making an interconnect to a digital audio console for 1/8" jacks to balanced xlr's. What do you guys think of this build?

One 1/8" Male Canare F-12
Two Male NC3MX Neutrik HD XLR's
Four wire braid of 18-22awg jena cryo silver in teflon w/ cardas solder
All cased in a layer of halar and teflon sleeving

it reminds me of the dune novels and original movie; at once it is strange and disgusting, yet ultimately i think it is attractive.

The ferrite cores certainly look cool. What do they do?

im really tempted to build a jena labs knock off interconnect, how much worse than the $3 per foot for vampire cryo is it?

Switchcraft + spare ETYMOTIC ER-4 SPC cables (twisted pair configuration) + shoelace - not bad uh


In action - yep! this sounds better than my Cardas HP1 - sounds wider to my ear

I bought the ferrites from a privat dealer here in Finland and the sleeve is manufactured by Viablue.

The Spider Rack is E&T clone of the Finite Elemente Spider so it's the same that cattylink sells. I have just veneered the woody parts with american walnut.
