Decided to make an audio interconnect for my main PC. This is my first one ever. Pretty happy with it except I was aiming to get the large heatshrink on the Y-split to cover the smaller two. But other than that, I'm glad I did it

Here are some glamour shots (lol) of the final product:

Worked out well and looks pretty nice.
I think the tubing looks good. Superglue sounds intense, though. I would have tried using adhesive heatshrink, since it gets thick from and hard after heating.

Yeah, but I didnt have transparent adhesive heatshrink at home, only black. That wouldnt have looked right

It looks like a lot of fun, I watched him make them for me --- If I need some more cables I may just consider learning how to make them myself!
