I like the color choices. Loud and proud! It sort of brings the Grados' oldschool design into the present.

My Markertek package arrived today, and I waisted no time.
My first cable build...
These are for my new Omega Grande 6 speakers. The wire is Canare 4S11 Speaker Cable, and the banana plugs are Atlona.

Did you use a lighter or heat gun on the heatshrink? I don't know why people say a lighter is bad to do heatshrink with, as all of my shrink was done with a Bic.

I've tried with the lighter and the result is really bad
The heatshrink doesn't shrink equally on both sides and even burn out.
