Here's my baby:

I really liked the look of Anti-Cable's Anti-ICs...

Neutrik plugs and 20AWG silver plated stranded copper with teflon insulation.

Nice, I see you're using the new style Neutrik connectors for the XLRs, how did you fit the boots on?

Well, the boot goes on before the connector if thats what you mean. Apparently Neutrik has a big problem with conterfeiting, thats why they have a hologram on the boot.

If you're asking about the cable thickness, the Neutrik boots are nice and rubberized, so they can adjust to practically any size.

I was talking about the part where you push the boot into the connector shaft/housing/the-term-escapes-me.

Oh, the chuck? I'm not sure about the XX series because I haven't used mine yet, but on the Easycons, there was a tab on the chuck that could be broken off for larger cable diameters. (If that was your question.

)

Oh wow, I feel really stupid right now. I just took a closer look at my boots and they are plain old screw on boots. I was under the impression that you had to shove them on (parallel rings, not screw)

Oh, thats what you meant. Yeah, they screw on. By the way, I love Neutriks strain reliefs, nothing will rip the cable out of this sucker.

I'm building a splitter for a friend, of which i will post pics as soon as I'm done, and I'm having problems cutting the heatshrink. I have to cut pieces from the tube, and I keep on cutting uneven pieces ( the cut is slanted compared to the other side). I'm using scissors right now. Anyone know what I can do to cut pieces of heatshrink that are cut "right" on both sides?
Thanks
