I gotta say DIYselfers that I normally would have no inclination of trying to build my own cables, but after seeing the amazing builds and the true passion that everyone here expresses, I just might give it a go. The cables are just gorgeous and I'm sure they sound incredible also.

Greetings MrJingles,
I've thought the same since I've seen this thread. Incredible nice cables and even if you can't hear any difference between these ones and a 5 bucks cable > "there's no need to be perfect, if you look perfect!"
Just started to make a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable to use with a Sonic Impact T amp which I plan to rehouse in a hammond case.
The only problem here is not many places sell the connectors and the ones that do charge a lot for delivery (around $12 minimum charge). Makes it a waste unless I need 20+ connectors. I find it incredible that airmail form the US to the UK for something similar only costs half that
I've used two twisted pairs of 19 strand 22AWG silver wire.
250ohm adapter for miniplug...
Learned a lot of things making this, but it works fine and seems sturdy so all in all it was a success. :P
2 barrels and lots of hot glue for the resistors.
Turns out 250ohms was a good choice for my usage; I see a lot of people use 120 here.
SA5000 re-recable. 30 AWG teflon coated silver-plated copper in a 4-wire round braid terminated to a silver Neutrik 1/4" plug; somewhere around 9 to 10 feet (guess). Main lead of the cable is sheathed in cotton before being sheathed in multifilament techflex. Ultra-flexible, ultra-light, and ultra-nonexistent microphonics. Most physically pleasing recable I've ever experienced. I don't have a reference to compare the sound to, though.
Need some advice. My first attempt at a mini to mini cable. Going from iMod in car cradle on top of dash to the input in the radio. I'm looking for a tube, warm sound, 1 1/2 feet in length, black non-tangle chord, right angle on one end, nice clean look.
What exactly and where should I purchase?
Thanks in advance.

If it doesn't have to sound the best, I'd suggest mogami starquad, though not out of personal experience.
