Check the "how to for interconnects" sticky. There are some links there that got me started.

Made a new guitar cable this week.

My first recable! It was a success!

Next one will be PIMP: Black and Gold with Brown cable. Stay tuned this is gonna be special.

I might be able to start recabling Grado for people in Canada.

Laurent, the grills look more open than stock typically is. What model are those? Did you replace the grill, or just take off the buttons?

[quote=skyline889;3299835]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.

hi, can I know what gauge of wires did you used for these? they look mighty small compared to the connectors?

wats the sufficient gauge size per channel for RCA interconnects?

thanks

I thought so. what did you find with the sound signature when you did that? I replaced the grills on a pair of SR60's with similar wire mesh and found that while it opened them up and gave them a lot more detail, they also lost some bass impact.

Depending on what im making, I will get parts from either www.markertek.com or www.takefiveaudio.com (also, somestimes I will use the wire from www.homegrownaudio.com). For sleeving and heatshrink, I get that from www.wirecare.com

Ahhh! HomeGrownAudio has some really nice stuff at really great prices, but $40 international shipping!!!

Might have to save up and order some bulk or something.

10 feet of cardas starquad with neutrik XLRs. managed to salvage the stock senn connectors with only about .75cm of the original wiring left on them. sounds great so far, needs some mega burn in though!
