Another busy day over a soldering iron...

Starting off, a guitar cable for myself. Using Nuetrik X-Series mono plugs, and Canare 2-signal wire. 25ft.




After that, I was quite happy to put the finishing touches on my first ever paid job. I did all this stuff for a friend and fellow head-fi'er... so hopefully he likes what he sees:

First off, we have 9in mini to mini and a 1/4 to mini adapter. Using Canare fatty mini plugs, and a nuetrik locking 1/4 jack. Sleeved with nylon multifiliment.



Then, the fun part... A freshly recabled pair of ATH-AD900's. Using Canare 1/4 fat plug, starquad, and multifiliment.

recabling of KSC75 with 6N copper cable.




75 Ohm resistor adapter





splitter cable=P this is use to watch DVD with girl friend while using headphone.
source -> splitter -> Headamp -> headphone. so both of us can adjust the volume according to our own preference.




AB test of KSC75 with and without 75ohm resistor cable.




Stereo-RCA with 12 strain wire.

I noticed that a lot of people here have 5wire braids for their mini-minis. Whats the 5th wire for? Is it just to get a nicer looking braid? Do you have 2xL, 2xR and one wire for ground? 1xL, 1xR and 3xG?

Breathtaking. Absolutely breathtaking. I simply cannot wait to hear them. You did an excellent job man-fully satisfied customer.

Thanks!

You know PCwork, i was perusing the latest cable thread posts, and in my head, a dialogue was running:

"Nice lookin cable, nice looking cable, headphone rewire, mini to mini, nice lookin cable, HOOO-LY Braided Super Cable!"

Really impressive work. Great job on that last one, man.

I'm pretty sure they do 2x L, 2x R, and 1x G.

The plug on my PortaPros was broken and worn out, so I decided to replace it with an aftermarket one. Here is the result:





And my nice solderings!
