hey Tjumper,

what do you think of those RCA plugs you used above? PE sells them as "Super RCA plugs" for little $$$... are they any good?

Thanks

Nick

Well, after reading through the whole thread, I thought I'd give it another go.

I made a 3.5 to 2.5 mini interconnect, and redid the heat shrink on my first cable after being inspired by some of the amazing cables in this thread.

I know they're not much, but I'm happy I made them

2.5 to 3.5 in progress


all done

New Sennheiser cable. I actually made two - one with HD650 connectors, the other with Cardas connectors (long story, person asked for 3m cable, I underestimated wire and after braiding it ended up being 2.2m so I kept that one for myself). They look almost the same. Wire is the new mil-spec SPC I just bought and Oh My GOD! This SPC sounds a lot better than the stuff I usually use (and still have hundreds of feet of).

Yeah, I really should and do weekly but there is construction/renovation going on in the building so it's really really dirty everywhere. Just having a window open for a few hours results in this kind of thing.

I used to always buy wire from navships, but I just got a nice deal on a large spool from CIE @ eBay. Great wire, sounds fantastic.

Here are Two I just finished not even 10 mins ago. Bad camera=bad pics, and I need to dust
Top one: Canare Mini-Neutrik mini-Coral snake sleeving. ( I found this place local that sells sleeving that is snake skin, it is Super soft nylon)
2nd: Mogami Neg-Neutrik 1/4-same sleeving
All cables 1.5 m/5 ft

The top cable is the same I used for my own Denons just in black as you see from pic # 3

@ FallenAngel is that heat shrink after your y-split? I see alot of people using that, isn't it stiff??

Tokenganjaclan: Really thin heatshrink (without glue version), it's quite soft, no problems at all.

apatN: Looks like Mogami 2534 to me
