Nope, I didn't use the 2.5mm plugs - they are soo flakey and tend to break fast. So I perfomed some surgery on them to have the sockets totally removed.

Sorry buddy, I didn't count the individual strands LOL!. But I do know the replacement Canare StarQuad has 40 strands
What are you guys using for strain relief at Y-splits in your interconnects/speaker cables? Heatshrink only? Electrical tape?
I don't use any strain relief persay, but to form my y-split's, I use adhesive heatshrink.
For smaller stuff, I use one piece of heatshrink and clamp down the webbed part with needle nosed pliers while heating and until the heatshrink has completely cooled.
For large stuff, I use the same method as above, but prep the joint by heatshrinking each lead and then putting a big piece over that; 4 pieces are used total. I guess you could use this method for smaller stuff too.
I use this method because I like the leads to actually split out in different directions, rather than come out straight.
If you are looking for relief though, you'd have to integrate non-adhesive, preferably 2:1 heatshrink. Adhesive heatshrink gets hard and the greater the shrink ratio, the stiffer the heatshrink will be, since it gets thicker when you shrink it.
