what I appreciate most from this hobby is experience and knwlededge of the cable industry.

being aware of astronimical price mark ups for oem connectors and silver plated copper or silver plated power cables is a plus. I mean cables costing less then $10 selling from $100-$400+

I look through audiogon every so often and realize that people re literally selling $20-$30 cables in the hundreds. its ridiculous.

This is for gallery DIY display only, this cable is NOT for sale, I am not using reverse psychology either, this is a one time made cable and it is not for sale, I am NOT selling this cable, by me saying this cable is NOT for sale does NOT mean its really for sale. This cable is definately NOT for sale, please do not think I am selling this cable, this cable is NOT meant for people to contact me for selling y-splitters. My intent is NOT to sell this cable. by me saying this cable is not for sale does not mean it really is for sale but not really but really but not really.. please do not take this picture anyother way then for display purposes only of my DIY work.

did I make it clear this time?

if not, i'll just say it one more time.

I am not sassing the cop, I am not trying to break any rules, and this cable is NOT for sale

enjoy the eye candy guys.


BTW, wondering whats underneath the solder work?
Since a previous picture of me posting a single bad solder joint, for the purpose of help and purposely posted as an example of a bad solder joint was abused earlier and used out of context and implied all my work is like that.


here ya go enjoy

Here is one I did last night. Mini to 4 RCA's. That was a fun one. 8 24gauge wires of goodness.
