I'm going to be making my first interconnects tomorrow! Very short mini->mini to connect my portable players to my headphone amp.
Top is 3 twisted pairs from some CAT5E network cable braided together. Bottom is a short piece of cannibalized cable from a 1/4" stereo to dual RCA's that I no longer needed. Picking up some mini plugs from Radio Shack tomorrow and soldering them on.

First post, very first DIY cables. I love them! and really enjoy making them
Made these with inspiration from this thread (and this forum as a whole) and I needed these to connect my Ipod to my headunit in my car (yes I am a car audio freak)
Here goes: 3.5 - RCA: Maxcable "interconnect" cable (2x single core shielded), Shark gold RCA's (cheap NZ$5.50 pair), Neutrik (basic/budget?) 3.5mm stereo (NZ$3.50). I found this a LOT cheaper than buying one of the same quality I had to drill out the neutrik to get the wire in there (thank god I have a drill press!)
Also an Ipod - 3.5 socket: cheap speaker wire I found lying around, 3 wire litz braid, generic 3.5mm tubular socket.

Nice work!
Welcome to Head-Fi, sorry about your wallet. (LOL the first time I get to say that).

Hopefully I will find a local dealer of techflex and I'll be producing some more asthetically pleasing cables. Still need to add a Y-split to that cable, but its going into my car so not really bothered
Bring on more inspiration!!
Lol kanamin, as if my car audio addiction wasn't sucking my wallet dry enough as it is, along with a girlfriend and my addiction to buying food hahaha but hopefully my new found interest in making cables wont get too expensive!! (thinks about the day I will start buying silver wire and insanely expensive connectors...hmmm...)
some of my work today. for a forum member actually. how i wished my switchcraft is here.
MINI-RCA
material : Canare Starquad L4E6S, F-12, F-10
it's fully shieded from F-12 until the both ends of F-10(even inside the Y-split), and the gound is uni-directional to the F-12 side. :idea:
(aww... handphone camera sucks...)
As usual, colour-coded RCA ended.
Here comes the Y-Split. spent hours on this :thumbs:
closer look of Y-Split (again, pardon my handphone camera, time for D300 perhaps? :P )
Haven't posted my stuff here in a while. I got tired of fancy cables in my rig so I recently simplified my whole rig and replaced everything with 4 wire braids of 5n pure copper and matching locking rcas so here're some of those cables, hope you like them! If I have time the EMU cable will probably be replaced since it's really about five inches too short for my set-up but other than that, I think I'm set.
