Same one I have in that case... the walnut veneer looks great. Might have to try something similar myself.

Hmmm, wonder if I can guess what wood you'll use? LOL.

EFN, great work on the cable. Its so clean looking...
Next task out is to make a suitable cable for your SRM-001.

My latest creation, Vela-xlr. The cable is hand-braided from silver-teflon wire. All dielectrics (in addition to teflon) are cotton. Also the teflon wires are insulated from each other with cotton. Screening is added for emi protection. The white color seen through nylon screening is white cotton.

I have also made unbalanced version from this cable.

Heh it will take awhile for me to brave myself to mess up with Electrostatic cables!

I received my Sillver wires from Qables last night and went straight ahead rebuilding my Switchcraft Mini-Mini. Much simpler and thinner now

I wanted to try silver interconnects, so I made this:



Solid silver wire in a four wire round braid. The dielectric is heatshrink.

So far I really like the sound of this cable, so at some time in the future I'll probably change the connectors to silver ones and put the cable iniside a nylon braid.
