Cool, I'll try it. I can feel the urge to upgrade my camera coming on, but I will not give in...yet.

BTW, that granite background is my NAD C422.

Final pic (macro, but again with flash):

Continuing the recent trend of short right angle to right angle minis... Twisted together three pieces of silver plated copper and heatshrunk them to maintain geometry, then ran them through the jacket of a piece of canare starquad that I pulled the insides out of.

very impressive!
specs please!

I like the way you finished the ends right before the connectors, very clean! looks better then mine.

Im also planning on adding ferrite cores to my power cable next time I order from parts express.

RnB180:

Thanks! I like clean and simple... I ditched the techflex and just used some heatshrink every foot or so to hold the ground in place. I love how it looks.

Specs are: Cryoed Wattgate 320i IEC, 5266i Male with VenHaus 12awg VH1C cable and ground done in the Flavor 1 fashion.

The stuff is in the mail for my next one... got a few ideas...we shall see. Ill post it up as soon as it is done... about the end of next week.

oh yah... also let me know how the ferrite cores work out for you. I have herd very mixed reviews on them...

I dont think ferrite cores effect audio if used on a power cable, thats what they are for, they help reject interference. many electronic cables use ferrite cores.

I think its starts playing an adverse effect when people use it for what it was never intended for and stick it to speaker cables and headphone cables or interconnects.

PS Audio uses ferrite along the entire run of the cable, FWIW. I think that's the only time ferrite would make a difference

I think you can make a difference with just one, just attach it to the desitnation end.
