yeap, quite flexible. if i don't put the heatshrink, it will even more flexible. however after shrink it, i found it's no problems to roll them into circle which is slightly bigger than KSC75 driver itself.

Nice work guys! Here're some pics of my most recent cable. Nothing as complex as my older stuff or some of the stuff posted but I like the clean and simple way it turned out. It's a 5 wire braid of 4n pure silver, right angle Neutriks, and Cardas Quad-Eutectic solder. It measure 4 inches long.

First cable I've made:

Zen Vision M LOD
Neutrik plugs, SPC ebay wire, carbon techflex, silver-containing solder.



Sounds great!

Really nice work there!
But I wonder, how do you make these 8-wire braids?
