My MS-2i just came out of surgery...









Recabled with Starquad, Canare fatty plug, and nylon multifiliment. There is a very slight difference in sound. I detect a hint more detail, but it is minor. I think if I were to A-B these with a stock pair, I would have a hard time choosing which was which. I did it more for looks, because I had most of the supplies, and just to say I did . They came out great though, I couldn't be happier.

Very nice. How is the cable in terms of flexibility though?

I want to do a revable, but I dont care about SQ. I just want looks/durability and something shorter than 10ft.

it is a little stiffer than before, but not bad. It is certainly more durable, and doesn't tangle anymore

Where did you get that nylon sleeving? The only place I saw which doesnt sell in bulk was in Canada, and I cant even remember the name of it. BTW, does your heatshrink have any writing on it? Id like to get some without text.

www.wirecare.com for the nylon. They should have heatshrink as well. Mine does not have writing on it, and was ordered at www.svc.com.

New cable I put together today. AWG 22 Teflon SPC in a litz braid and partially covered with nylon monofilament. RCA's and mini are from Supra and the y-split is from Qables. The RCA's are nice because the cover is mounted from the front instead of over the cable and they are locking.

Sorry about that. The headband is from a cheap Philips headset. I cut off the last bit and superglued KSC-75 trimmed mounting point. Then paint them all in ACE Hardware Epoxy black

A pair of XLR-to-RCA cables I made a few months back (I really need to get into the habit of taking photos as soon as I finish building things). They've just been replaced by a higher-grade cable so they are now available for me to take photos of. Oh, they're made of SPC, in twisted pairs and directional shielded.
