Jena charges $6 a foot plus shipping, not too bad, though definitely not the cheapest wire available either.

Some docks I made for fellow Head-Fiers. Simple to the bone but functional. Nothing fancy.

Ya, i sent you a pm also....do you think i should just call them? I emailed days ago and haven't had a response...

And that stuff is going to get pricy...
You figure 6$ a ft per wire, with 4 runs for a headphone cable (left, right, and a ground to each side), plus shielding wire, sleeving, heatshrink, solder, and termination. that cable ends up being around excesses of 40$ / ft. Ouch...and i wanted a 10 ft xlr to xlr.... guess ill just make the xlrs out of star quad...

But let me know what you think about how to order the wire, thanks.

And...pcwork, you must show us how to do that kind of braid....thats one hot cable.

5' Interconnect made with Silver Plated Copper and Neutrik ends. 1/8" Techflex was used for the sleeving.

I think it is descent for my first try. I do not have heatshrink on the ends or anything but I will as soon as I buy some descent stuff. I would also like to try something other than techflex for my cables as it seems kind of stiff. Any suggestions?
