Wow skyline. I really like the look of that cable without any sleeving. Where did you learn those braids? Is there a difference in sound from using 3x signal and 3x ground?

Here're some of my recent cables:







This one I really love, I made it recently using the braid I used earlier. This was a little difficult to solder even in the giant Canare plug! It's being used to hook my Zen up to my amp right now though it'll eventually be replaced when my order of pure cu comes in.

Wow! watch out ken of ALO! Skyline, you're creations are sublime!
They must've taken some meticulous detail and some TLC to have come
out so nice!

one question...which wires do you find preference for in terms of SQ?

Good Job! Nice clean finish. I do not like the white cable but to each his own. Any thoughts of putting a sleeve of some kind on the cable running up into the headband?

The cable is actually light gray, and I used it since it was the only colour the local seller had. I have thought about adding some sort of sleeving to the cable, but at the moment I'm just happy I got my headphones working again We'll see...

Sleeving may make the cable "look" a little too bulky, but its up to you really.

Thanks for the compliments guys! Haha Ken really has nothing to worry about though, cable making is just a fun hobby for me. I needed a break from doing work the other night and figured I should do something productive rather than just fool around.

About the cabling, I really like the sound of the 12. To me, keeping the ratio of at least 2:1 for signal to ground makes a big difference in sq and with the 12, the overall sound is just much more refined. There is more macro detail but it never becomes overwhelming or harsh.

Takezo, I've found that silver plated copper really offers the best price to performance ratio but for my tastes, I prefer ofhc copper. I've used it in the past and absolutely love it. The Jena wire is really good, probably some of the best I've heard, but I'm not sure if it's really worth the price. I love silver too but my tastes have changed to the point where I prefer a warmer more organic sound, something that I don't often get from pure silver.
