Yes glorious chrome

It's not conductive tho so nothing to worry about.

which one do you use?

I know the techflex version is conductive, there is a warning on the back on the packaging that states the flexing is indeed conductive and may also prove a bit of shielding.

I dont know how conductive it is though. but if you found one that is not conductive, Id be highly interested, I want to make some shimmering cables

RnB, who did you source your 26 AWG wire on eBay from? I'm using 20 AWG wire for now, but I'm finding it to be a bit too bulky to fit through some of the strain reliefs on the plugs.

some guy named navships or something, type teflon silver in the search and you should find him.

the wire I bought was teflon 26 awg solid silver plated copper.

since its solid wiring its a snap to solder, and has zero danger of strand jumping.

Edit: shielded dual lead teflon insulated silver plated copper cable is on order..

expect to see some shimmering locking RCA interconnects in a couple of weeks

Been following this thread for a while and I think I have noticed somthing. Making cables is addictive, isn't it? I have yet to do it myself, but one of these days (need to get a decent iron). Time to start a support group?
