Hmm. Maybe I would get more recognition if I didn't cover my braids with techflex.

People come here looking for ****, not fireproofing.

infact, it's the way like how hembergler said
1. You take the wire on the left, cross it right over five,
2. and then back under two to left.
3. Then you take the farthest one of the right, move it left over five,
4. and then back under two to right.
and repeat

and it's hembergler who tought me that..

This is my minimalist braided solid-silver-in-Teflon DIY tonearm cable.

It's 99.999 silver from A-M Systems threaded through Teflon tubing from same in a three-strand loose braid. The third Teflon tube is hollow used as a carrier and spacer. Connectors are copper Eichmann bullets and cryo'ed Cardas DIN from TakeFiveAudio.

Ground is a single, solid copper 24ga carrier from plenum-grade CAT5e.

In my environment, I found I didn't need a shield. Lucky me. YMMV, of course.

Some simple interconnects I made for behind my telly, amp, topfield etc. I wasn't after anything too special, just something that would be a bit more tidy that the 1.5m cables that usually come with such devices.

Canare L2T2S microphone cable and Amphenol RCA plugs. I like the plugs. Those coloured bits on the back of the plug are rubbery with a small opening in them. The cable pushes through making the hole stretch and seal up nicely.

New cable for my AKG K271's.
Tri-braid 22awg silver plated copper wire with teflon dielectric.
Switchcraft mini-XLR and Neutrik plugs. Silver solder and techflex...





Not big improvement compared with the stock cable though...
