Yep... it's an extra shell I had lying around. They work great. Normally I would do it completly in heatshrink, but I honestly did not have enough on me to cover it all, and as opposed to making the person I did the cable for sit around for a week while I waited for more to arrive, I just did half of it, to keep the two wires that split in order, and close up that opening. As it were, I think the half an half thing looks very nice. It matches the plug.

My first ever recable! (not a true recable though, couldn't get the drivers open, so oem wire is used to distribute from central terminals)


Neutrik mini plug and purple nylon monofilament (came with psu sleeving kit). This is just practice lol.

Just made my first ever mini-mini using 26awg SPC and 3.5mm neutrik plugs braided in 2 3 strand litz pairs.Sounds bad though, it brightens the whole image but at the same time has less air ,smoothenes and overal balance than my previous interconnect.I'm a little disapointed.I may post some pics later because it's a hassle for me;]

My next project is recabling my hd580's with mogami 2534 but I can't find anywhere a nylon multifilament ,I know take five audio has it but i don't want to wait 2 weeks for delivery.Here's my question , maybe some of you have some left that can sell to me I need 1/4" one about 8 feet.i can also trade for some carbon 3/8" techflex.

Please post some photos. we'd love to see them! This is the Cable Gallery after all

Take Five Audio's shipping estimates are very conservative, I got my order with the least expensive shipping in about 3-4 days.

They have multifilament, and they are quick on shipping.

Test run. Making sure I could actually do it.
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1.../IMG_3436R.jpg
All parts from radioshack. 1/4'' to 1/4'' extension, 20 ft. long. Decided, to braid it myself, which was a bad mistake (took 2+ hours), but it's done, finally.

Planning to do much nicer (and more expensive) ones in the future.
