22 awg silver plated copper, teflon insulated x 4, Litz braid configuration, sleeved with white flex then a second layer ofclear flex for a misty cloudy look, the second flex really helps hold the geometry, and if look closely in the light you can see the vague traces of the litz braid. very classy looking cable
That looks sweet.

I didnt really want to solder it to the bar since id have to do too much bending and twisting.
Weird, my LOK plugs had a ground solder pad on the back side of the plug. Took me a while to notice it but I'm glad I did. Way easier than trying to solder to the side of the barrel.

He was talking about the Cardas clones he got off of Ebay and not the LOKs he posted above you.

LOL, that post is directed to the ebay cardas clone plug,

the one below it was the LOK plug, very nice plug. yes the ground bar on the LOK plug is very easy.

Ok, I know the pics aren't the greatest, I wanted to snap a few quick pictures. I'll hopefully get better pictures later with decent lighting.

Anway, here is my ~3" mini-> mini (Starquad + switchcraft plugs); and my Grado SR125 rewire (Starquad+ switchcraft 1/8"). Oh, and I kept the "grado regulation length cable"

All pictures can be found in my gallery here: http://www.coronabeach.net/gallery/audio01/
