Nggh. My first attempt didn't go all that well, the Neutrik NP3X-B is *tight*. Wouldn't go over star quad+techflex+heatshrink very well.. Once I get some more supplies I'll give it another try.

all the neutriks have really small cable exits; one of the reasons i'm not dead keen on them. you have to drill out the hole to make it larger unless you ared using 24AWG wire or smaller either that or you have to sacrifice the techflex and i'm not keen on that except for stranded wire.

Thought I'd share my headphone cable. It's Mogami 2534, Neutrik NP3X-B with carbon techflex and black heatshrink. It's actually the second cable I ever made; pretty happy with the outcome. The first was a mini-rca not worth showing. Just plain Mogami with Neutrik connectors. This cable was meant to be put on my MS-1. I wanted the cable to look stiff and durable. It had to look dark as well. Well, I think I succeeded. Have a look.
Overview.

That great Neutrik plug and my Y-split.

Very nice.
Does the 2534 ever feel to thick or heavy for a headphone cable?
I can't decide if I want the 2534, or the smaller 2893.
A set of ety er-4 cables i just made this arvo. Silver teflon cable, 63 ohm resistors housed within the jack. They were originally fully covered with heatshrink, but the microphonics were unreal- just a few bits here and there now to keep the cables together. The barrel pins work a treat, i just need to figure out a way to cover/coat the end to make it tidy, at the moment just some nylon mesh tape with hot glue worked in and formed to shape. Great sound, falls nicely between the stock P cable and the P cable with the S adaptor. Overall, very happy with the outcome.

My MS-1s broke down so I don't use the cable but I think it'll work just fine. I wouldn't want anything thicker though, I think this is the limit. What headphone do you want to recable? I wanted a thick cable on my MS-1 but if I ever come around recabling my DT880 I think I'll go with something thinner in diameter.
