Default Y-split experiment

I have a bunch of stress relief springs (don't know what they're called) from my Neutrik RCA connectors, so I decided to figure out a way to use it as a y-split cover.

First I used it with the silver ring still on, and then I took it off to have an all-black look. I kinda like the silver accent though, makes it look cooler IMO.





I'll be making an ~5ft RCA to mini cable for Sh0ebox using this for the Y-split, and these RCAs:

Default Back to Basics

I haven't built a cable in a long time, so here are a couple of RCA-to-RCAs. My soldering is a little rusty...

The Monkey:
Don't look rusty at all to me


Anyway, it has been a busy weekend for me:



Full Makeover for Sennheiser HD600!


7 Years old HD580 getting revived!


Full Canare Set F12 to F10s




Pure Silver ICs. Small and Slim, BUT performs BIG time!

Saying those cables look great would be a huge understatement. Excellent job!
