I like the strain relief. Awesome job!

Is that the HGA 8-wire round prebraided stuff. HGA and Moon Audio (Drew uses HGA prebraided stuff) cables were part of a 24 or so cable review in an Italian Hifi Magazine. 30AWG silver twisted pair cables were in the top 3. The HGA and Moon Audio, which both used the 26AWG wires in an 8-wire round braid, cables were more middle of the pack-ish.

My bad. That seems outrageously excessive, though, when 30AWG silver performs so well.

Some insane braids being posted! Very nice work.

I balanced my DT770's today. Quick and dirty, but it's a nice-ish cable in there. The DT770 is an awesome expirimenting can.

Thanks for the backup guys! To be honest, this is the first time i have changed the plug on something and had a really good result! About that heatshrink on the strain relief, I have been thinking of that, but I don't think it would look so good, I sacrificed looks before function. I have been thinking, though, about putting something inside the strain relief, very snug on the cable and the strain relief, so that the cable doesn't come off when I'm on the bus or something!
