Thanks for the nice comments :allteeth: The mini to mini and mini to rca are both litz braided. Unfortunently I haven't had much time to play with the Senn cable but my guess is that it would have the same characteristics of the regular Cardas headphone cable (on the warmer and fuller side). If you'd like to PM me in a week or so I can probably offer you a more detailed description

You call those connectors...

*These* are connectors.

...and I apologize for the yellow-ish lighting. This is basically how to run 14 AC signals, 6 Dynahi power voltages, and 6 control voltages from one CD player box to another. Time consuming? Heh...don't remind me.

intersting back drop.

I like the look.

One of them is sending AC voltages from the CD power supply box to the signal box, while the other is sending voltages for the Dynahi boards and control signal for the CD player. So they're not signal cables, but still cables nonetheless.

Just finished these, used red Canare L-5CFB coax cable with their RCA connectors. Braided it with 3/8 inch blue techflex and 1/4 inch black techflex ontop of the blue. I am quite pleased how they turned out, the flash makes the black heatshrink look really dirty but it isn't.

These are the first set of cables that I built after finding this forum. Not my best work and not the best color combo (kinda bright). I am giving the Y-cable to one of my friends tonight so I took some pics to remember it by. I use the mini to mini for testing.

Y-cable and mini:

White Canare Star Quad

Yellow sleeving from a kit used to sleeve computer power suply cables ( and it's UV reactive!)

Canare F-12 3.5mm plugs

Neutrik Pro-Fi RCA

Here are a couple of pictures of an iPod cable that I made. Components include: Canare F-12 3.5mm, Neutrik ProFi RCAs, Canare Star Quad white, Techflex 1/8"-7/16" expandable white, and white heatshrink tubing. I wrapped a small lip around the edge of the F-12 connector and shrunk it down. This makes a nice finished product. I also carefully pushed the red and black rubber grips off the RCA connectors before overlaying the white heatshrink tubing.

Nice work, CSO. A mini to RCA is one of my next projects.
