Headphone cables? Yeah I make them
Introducing my " Snake" line. I figured since someone already used the " Dragon" name I'd have to come up with something else. Just gotta find names for each? Black Mamba is for sure on the Mogami Neglex. The sucker was a pain to add a mini to that thick a** cable.

Here's my first stab at an Apogee Duet line-out cable.



Plain old canare star-quad, neutrik rca's and radioshack D-15HD.

i've just made my first couple of cables (will post pics later) and am wondering where to get an iPod dock connector so i can make a mini to dock cable. also, place i've bought techflex doesn't have dark blue as a color option. any suggestions on a place that will have it?

Dock connectors:
Ridax (I order from here)
iPod/iPhone Dock Connector ordering
Wables (never ordered from here, but I'm sure they are good too)
Qables | High Quality Custom Made Qables

Wirecare.com seems to have the best seleciton of Techflex

Here's some pictures I took of my most recent cable. It's a cable I made for my Q40s which I will have on Sunday. I also made the iPod LOD. The amp is a cmoy I built as well. I know this is the cable pic thread, but I figured I would do some group shots, haha. I also threw in my new marshmallows that I got earlier this week for the heck of it.
Cable specs:
LOD:
-Switchcraft 3.5mm Stereo Plug with Black Handle and Gold Plug
-iPod dock connector from Qables.
-Canare Mini Star-Quad
-Flexo Nylon Multifilament Braided Sleeving

Q40 Cable:
-3.5mm threaded mini jack enclosed using cable strain relief boot and heat shrink.
-RadioShack Gold Series 3.5mm plug covered with heat shrink. (Would have preferred to use another Switchcraft 35HD on this, but I did this at a later point and the cost with shipping was too much for a single plug.)
-Canare Mini Star-Quad
-Flexo Nylon Multifilament Braided Sleeving

Take that, pretty cables!

Scraped-off stock earbud connectors, ~1cm Cordial Quad cable, WBT silver solder, heatshrink.





Oh yes... my placebo gland tells me it sounds even better than that overpriced piece of junk Qables Silvercab I got.

Nice macro shots CLock3!

Those look great...

Thanks man. And to think I'm just using a point and shoot digital camera. It's my trusty 7.1mp Canon PowerShot SD750 I got a couple years ago. I love the thing. One of the best purchases I've made, haha. You can get some really good shots with it when using the manual mode and setting it up right.
