I was going to order a pile of cable-making supplies from Markertek until they quoted me $100+ in shipping for a package weighing 10 lbs


/U.

EDIT: So if anyone has some spare switchcraft RCA's I'm interested

EDIT #2: infiskik, this is a bit OT for the cable gallery, YGPM instead

Default First Try

Here's my first shot at making a cable. It's to run from my iPod to my cMoy. Canare mini-quad, 1/4" Techflex, Switchcraft plugs.

OH- and it worked! :k1000:

My trial RCA-RCA patch cable. Both the wire and the connectors are eBay specials (18 AWG shielded OFC copper cable, gold-plated brass with gunmetal metal body RCAs). Signal is using the center conductor, and sheild is shield.

Sorry about the poor picture quality, but using my webcam to take pics. Also got a shot of the internals of it. Seems to work fine, so I can't complain thus yet.

If you're asking me about my RCA plugs, here's a link (eBay) to an expired auction of his. If you dig through his eBay store, you'll find he sells quite a lot of other stuff as well (replica Neutrik stuff included). And when I said they're eBay specials, they are... hehehe.. the RCAs are going for 8 for $11. At that price, figure if I screw something up it'll be a cheap mistake.

I was thinking of ordering from PartsConexxion, but I was initially put off by having to print and fill out an order form then fax or email it in. They do seem to have some nice stuff.. the replical WBT plugs I was thinking of ordering.
