RnB, don't stress the people whining, you've made some cool cables, and anyone paying attention knows you're not a dealer.

the plug is easy to remember!

tip (usually centre solder lug/cup) = left
ring (the one outside or further from the middle) = right
sleeve (usually on the furtherst outside, or part of the strain relief on the primary plug component) = ground

same for 1/4" plugs also. xlr's are a bit different depending on your application, but you should be able to get the data you need for them in the documentation of whatever you're using them with

Here are 3 pics of my latest cable done. Its a 3 foot mini to mini. The wires are silver plated copper covered in teflon. Both left and right channel are completly shielded and are in seperate shields. Sorry for the low light.






Thanks,
Alex

Markertek, SVC and Partsexpress are all good sources of techflex, Cableorganizer has a larger selection with both Techflex and other types of sleeving.
