Both ICs use Cardas tonearm wire, 33awg copper litz. In one, the wire is woven into a polypropylene hollow braid rope, in the other, the wire is threaded into Teflon tubes that are plaited in a square sinnet.

Very nice looking recable. I can't wait until the rest of my supplies get here, I'm excited to start making some cables!

Default SR60 recable



Nothing new here, I just wanted a shorter lighter cable than the original, navaships silver plated Teflon in a flat litz braid, neutrik plug. As for the grills, I really wasn΄t my intention to replace them, I wanted the SR-60 button out, I tried everything in order to remove it, EVERYTHING!, the damn thing would not come off, I ended up, bending the original grills so the need to replace them, still I think I will probably paint them black.

I've been working on a couple of Apogee breakout cables recently. Here's the most recent one that includes RCA inputs and line outputs.
