Wow TMM, that box is awesome. Is it easy making something that switches like that?
Yep very simple. Just a switched jack and a regular jack. The regular jack is wired through the normally closed contacts on the the switched jack, so when you plug in a cable to the switched jack the regular jack gets disconnected .

I was going to put some grommets for aesthetic purposes, but it doesn't look too bad and the insulation is very tough anyway .
Simple quick cable i made for my EMU1212M. Nothing really special, just made out of twisted copper teflon insulated wires and plugs i found randomly at the local store.
If i was to consider starting to fiddle around in making my own cables, what would be the best stuff to use to begin with, not for actual use with any equipment, just literrally to get used to doing it without screwing up with more expensive stuff :P I recon I would probably be buying any cable from Maplins [maplins.co.uk] (I live in ireland, and there isn't very much in the way of shops selling cable other than them). After looking through all the cables they do i'm a bit lost as to what the right sort is, both for quality cables and for basic junk to practice on.
Any insight into it for a poor confused me?
EDIT: Found a link on a thread deep down in the forums to an ebay shop that does pretty cheap wire, so i may just order a load of that instead, its not expensive and should suit my learning process
Yeah, I was expecting it to cost alot more considering the retail prices of cable in shops here, so was a bit concerned about basically messing up a bunch of cables ^^. My plan is to recable my MS-1s to have Removable cables so that I can have a long one for at home and a short one for when i head out. So best place to start off on this venture is to make some Interconnects before i go breaking my headphones
