I finally got my plugs from markertek and I just built my first cable. It turned out well, I think. I don't really notice a SQ improvement, but it works well and it doesnt cut out or anything like that. Thanks to everyone here for ideas/help.

Sorry about the crappy pics, ive seen camera phone pictures on this thread that were better than mine

26awg SPC, Neutrik R/A

just made one of the speaker jumper yesterday. still have 3 more to go.

@drizek ,
Your cable looks very neat...can't believe it's the first cable you built. workmanship is on par with those "old hands" who make cable Imho..

@petal665
salute on the tidy and cleanest of your cable.
i really love the outlook of Amphenol plugs...

@ronstah
imho ur cable looks way better than zu / cardas factory cable.. =P

@werdwerdus
=P it's not for headphone. it's for my speaker. wrong place to post i guess. haha
my speaker is biwiring speaker, but i am running it on single amp.
so this is the jumper that connect the HF and LF terminal.
it's to replace the stock metal that used to connect the two terminal. and i found out the different is quite obvious especially for treble. it smoothen out the high frequencies.
more sparkle..

i will try to snap a photo tonight.

Feel free . It came out well IMHO. I am still sort of perfecting the way I want to make cables, and can be very plainly seen if you look at some of the other stuff I've done, but I am progressing and making some pretty neat stuff if I do say so myself.
