Thumbs up re: what flex?

It's called Spider from Cableorganizer... It's pretty neat stuff, though when I ordered it they only had a few feet left and only in a couple of sizes, one of which was just right for the mains lead.

Regards,
Paul.

I had spyder from wire care, but bought the 1/4" stuff, i was dissapointed with it, I guess diameter matters since mine on have a single red tracer rather then the cool snaks skin effect like yours :P

Here are my first interconnects.

The rca-mini is twisted stranded (I wanted solid but these were on a sale-out, oh well) copper with a telescope shield (connected at one (mini) end). It's for my portable to my Pimeta.


The rcas are XLO geometry (from Tnt-Audio). Twelve solid isolated copper wires are wound around an empty foamed coax core. It sounds great.


When money allows I'll try some teflon isolated stuff (this is all PVC I guess).

Solid Silver Extension Cable made for another Head-fi member.









Since more expensive 99.99% Silver was used, I figured a "window" would be nice so you get the benefit of seeing the pretty silver inside.

That's awesome, Ed. When I first saw that it reminded me of PC mods, how people put windows in the sides.

making my studio friend some custom adapters.

heres one.




dual conductor leads for the hot and cold and shield as ground.

anyone who knows the 1/4" trs silver neutriks will know how much of a pain it is to solder fat leads like that to the terminals.

I had to do it tht way to maintain the same resistance as the other XLR's Ive made for him, if he ever uses the adapaters.

How did you attach those spade connectors to the wire? I got these spades for my speakers, but I can't figure out how they're supposed to go on and stay on tight. I figured they'd be better than using bare wire. Then again, it is silver plated copper so I suppose oxidation isn't a huge concern...
