Another wirecare.com order placed.....

Hey guys, new here... Was searching for a little 3.5 to 3.5mm interconnect when I came across this thread.

So I decided to build one for myself. It's my first cable, and it actually works really well.

2x generic plugs, and speaker wire (not exactly spoiled for choice here in Australia). If anyone in Aus knows where I can get better stuff from, please let me know.

Wow, I've never seen someone using O2 Atom with CMOY.
If you are in Aus, you should PM StevenKelby, a member here. He'll give you helpful advice.

Thanks Lil' Knight.

The O2 is a really bad source. The cmoy makes it "useable".


I've just been told that the speaker cables were a bad idea, as they're not the correct type to be using for this sort of thing. Oh well, atleast it's better than the cheap and thin 1.5 metre cable I was using before .

many people are fooled by that picture.
the techflex is carbon colored. the wires inside are white and blue. so under bright lights, it almost looks blue. its quite pretty.
