Yup, I got them from HGA. They ended up being cheap for me cause the shipped me 4 when I ordered 2! I offered to send them back and they said to just keep them.

Impressive cable you got there!

It came out nicely, although the pictures did not. What can I say, there's two lights in my attic workshop and they just don't cut if for still photography. I want to get all my cables (4 so far) together for a little shoot during the day sometime as the other 3 that I've made ([2] mini-minis and [1] mini-rca) are pretty nice as well. Two of them use orange tech flex covered with the carbon and I really like those. They were for a friend who has an orange fetish .
Here's a pic of the two carbon colored cables side by side, one uses two layers, the other just 1.
Both use Home Grown Audio's Diva braid (4-stranded silver), Neutrik Gold Mini's and of course the LOK's for RCA's.
I just made this one right from a personal request,
I rarely make cables upon request though. I dont like repeating the same cable design, but this solid core wire sounds just too good to not share it with others
heres a pic

I didnt know there were such a thing as heat shrink pants
I assume it was just dual wall pinched at the split.

the neutriks are the only 3.55 mini that has a small diamter barrel of acceptable quality. All the other minis with small barrels suck.
neutriks are ok, but I have inspect each plug before I use them.

looks to be a neutrik/rean. nice and cheap but the ones ive gotten have only been the standard size which only accepts cables up to 4mm OD.
Yeah, but a unibit will fix that quick! For that mini/rca I had to open up the hole quite a bit as I don't like to use heatshrink at the ends of my cable, I like to see the tech flex disappear into the jack.
Here's an example of the opened up hole (left is only slightly enlarged, right is taken to the max that I would do)

Those are just home brew. I use 3:1 heatshrink so that the pants can be wide enough at the split and still shrink all the way down at the single-sided end. While the glue is still active I use the tip of my needle-nose pliers to gently pinch the wide end together to form the pants. With a little care and some planning it comes out pretty nice.
