Really nice cables.

I am getting ready to pick up some 89259 coax to make some interconnects myself.

My mini to RCA crapped one day, so i started to make one..
Hand braided (had my sis braid one part of the cable), but no techflex sleeve (yet.. the sleeves are mocking me because i cant find them local, on the area with the most dealers of electronic parts.. maybe search some more..)...


crappy huh... Next try:
Thanks to my sis (again) who showed me a tool to help twist cables (then i heated them with a lighter to stick, and not to untwist)..
The Tool:


The cable. Still using plated metal in plastic shield plugs/jacks because they're cheap and work well (for me anyways, will switch to all metal plugs for the better).. used a pretty good heatshrink for sleeving the twisted pairs (w/c i saw from individual6891, it is flexy..):


Improving the trade....
Next tries might be recabling the impossible(?, KSC55s..), An Extension cable, then a shorter cabling for the 497s for the upcoming amp..

Those pictures dont seem to be working zaack.

EDIT: They are showing up now.

[zaack]

hmm... still not working?
BTW, Have some questions though:
1) Is it ok to use the braided shield as ground?
2) Should i avoid soldering wires for extending (esp. on the ground when i'm splitting it)?
