Very nice cables, EFN. I like the minimalist look and the little details.

Just finished the recable job on my girlfriends K26Ps. Cable is mini starquad terminated with a nickle plated neutrik connector. With a touch of pink

hello all, 1st post in the diy cables gallery! there will be more!
i have made quite a few cables in the past, i feel that my standards are now good enough to hold their own in this thread! so here we go!

mini to mini (salvaged rca jack covers, bootlace, cat5, 3.5mm from old headphones). small mini to mini (signal copper, silver plated copper ground). and ipod dock (stranded silver plated copper, clear heat shrink, bootlace and salvaged 3.5mm jack. potted with green stuff)

detail of braid on dock, this cable took ages, due to the thickness of the cable, the pins kept snapping.

let me know what you think

Thanks! as for sound, i really cannot tell, i re-cabled more for form and function than for sonics. i didnt braid it at all and kept the cables loose inside the bootlace, so its not stiff at all. i am pleased with the result overall though, the whole mod (kramer, headband and re-cable) took about 3 hours. but thats ok, any excuse for some quality music listening time!
