Its used for desktop speakers. That connectors is for the 2 front speakers/tweeters and the 2 12in subs. It goes through 2 amps and a reciever. It actually sounds awsome.

Here is another cable I made last night. This is for my fiance's Sennheiser HD497's. Mini to 2.5mm 497 connectors. The wires is silver plated copper covered in Teflon. The wires are each shielded separately. I am very happy with how this one came out and she loves the sound of them. I will see if I can get a pic of her wearing them later.

My final cable for the night. I finished this one about a hour ago. Mini to RCA. This will be used for my rear speakers. Only 4 24 gauge wires this time.

guys,I hope I only need to comment on this once and only once but you all need to stay ON TOPIC.

I am going to have to edit this thread to take out a bunch of things that have no reason for existing and if any of you really knew what a large undertaking this really is you would know why it has been avoided.I have far better things to do with my time but apparently it needs doing and it is my job so.

Please refrain from stating a thing is not for sale,if others here beleive otherwise and have an issue PM ME and not take it up in public !

This is MY job to determine who is and who is not breaking rules and not open for discussion or adverse comments.

you guys need to think about how much activity this particualr thread has which is more than any other DIY forum thread and focus on keeping it a "show and tell' thread which is the original intent behind me making it a sticky.
If it becomes unruly and beyond my capacity to keep up I will unstick it and let it slide down the list until it goes away and will only be dredged up by a search-not something that would be benefitting anyone.

so stay focused and stay on track and let ME handle the rest

My first interconnect, a 1 foot mini-to-mini (of course I have to follow RnB180

).

Canare Star Quad (red), Switchcraft RA mini plugs, 1/4" graphite TechFlex, Parts Express 12mm 3:1 adhesive heatshrink.

Thanks to all of you who answered my annoying questions, especially RnB180. More to come soon I hope.

thats you first?

sweet job. How did the soldering turn out? did you get the hang of it?

The Monkey · 04-20-2005, 03:35 AM

Thanks very much. The sodering was tricky, but tinning the twisted strands definitely helped. I think I just wasn't prepared for how darn small everything is in real life. I'll be making at least 3 more mini-to-minis over the next couple of weeks and I may try my hand at a cable for my K271.

Oh, here's another shot, just to stay On Topic

try taking the pics without flash in macro mode, Make sure its under some sort of light source preferably flourescent, you should see general area where the table is highlighted, move the camera around until that highlight is over the focus point of the image. Id like to see how they come out.
You should come up with really nice pics that way. thats how I take all my pics.

that last pic has the perfect back drop, it looks very similar to what I use expect with a granite type grain, I see a lot of potential!

*forgive me, but thats my artistic side kicking in*
