Lil' Knight...

Yo, nice job. Just like I mentioned on the PM, you're doing a great job. I've only seen you get better from your can recable and these LODs and minis. I've noticed these things from you, Punisher and others. I really enjoy it and it just makes me feel that I can also do this and enjoy it.

I'm really learning a lot from the site but also from you guys that just make great threads and try to teach while learning. I'm grateful.

I will start off with those Minis to get my feet wet but will do an LOD soon. I've been reading Punishers post on the DIY LOD and I keep replaying it in my head over and over. So it's starting to sink.

Question....

I'm going to pull the trigger on Canare but there are 2 wires I'm eyeing. Star Quad but then they have the one with just a blue and white cable with the outer thingy. The 2 conductor L2t2s. Would that be enough to start off with as far as making simple LODs, Minis and such?

If I'm right, and I hope you guys correct me... Blue and White would be signal then the outer braid would be ground. That would be stereo?

Anywho, just to stay on topic...Good job Knight. inspiration.

Thanks for that

Making cables is a real fun (although I can't use all the stuffs I made LOL),especially when your first cable sounds nice, fantastic feeling

Practice makes perfect. I've gained many experiences here from fellow Head-fiers, especially Steve, who gave me vast advice and help about making ICs.

Yes

And good luck on your first cables, let us know how beautiful your cables are

Default HGA SC-1 RCA Interconnects

Just finished assembling two Homegrown Audio (HGA) RCA 1.0m interconnect kits. The braided wires are 22 AWG; pure silver (clear coated) for signal and two copper (red and blue) as ground returns.

Total assembly time between 1-2 hours. Everything was included in the kits including silver solder. I found that silver solder flows best at a higher soldering iron temperatures than regular lead-based solder.

Nothing fancy here... just a 3.5mm interconnect made from an old xbox controller's cable and some plugs I got at parts express. Sounds fine to me.

How did you do that Y? Do you have an image of just that section or a larger version of the thumbnail you posted?
