The only listening I've done so far was just a test to make sure the phones still worked. The one thing that I did notice right away is the techflex is very noisy; I can hear it rubbing on my clothing when listening to soft music.

Microphonics can be a problem with certain types of techflex on headphone cables. If it annoys you to the point of rebuilding it, I'd recommend trying Techflex Nylon Multifilament.

The nylon only comes in black? At least that was what I thought I saw?

I've only seen black nylon multifilament and unfortunately while it's less microphonic than FLEXO PET type sleeving it can still be pretty noisy.

I've only been able to find black at the usual places.

I've got a small question not worth of making a new topic. I found some 'Van Damme' Starquad on the webs. Would this be the same or comparable to Canare Starquad? Here is the link

Here's a picture of the business end of the Koss ESP-950 to Stax adapter cable i made for Faust2D:



I used copper fittings and a WPI plug. And an ESP-950 extension cord. This allows F2D to plug his ESP-950 into a Stax amp.

Construction details here: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/4310879-post7010.html

AudioCubes2 declined to cancel my order, then lied to me and told me it had already shipped a full business day before the date on the shipping label.
