I had some time to play today ......
8" Cardas 4x24 wire mini to mini (2 ground)
Neutrik 3.5mm plugs
Kester silver solder
The tracers in this sleeving reflect a lot of light and really stand out when you use a flash....
This is the same iPod audio line out cable as in this post. Some people, including myself, didn't like the look of it. I just added some braided sleeving and a couple of peices of heatshrink. It made a world of difference. The white tracers in the sleeving look good with the with plug.

I've been reading a lot of this page, just trying to get ideas for more cable making, It is very addictive, might I add, making cables. I was wondering the physical and electrical differences in Litz braid, vs. a natural wire braid that most cables have. How abouts do you litz someting that is not already?
Cheers,
Jeff

Do a search on litz braid and you should find some step-by-step instructions.

I agreed before and agree again. Nice 'clean up'. Much easier on the eyes now!

Some very nice DIY cables guys. Keep them coming.
I haven't had much time for DIY, but I constructed another 580/600/650 cable. This one I did the plugs a little differently and they are pretty much completely covered and it looks like it was made that way!  Let me know what you guys think.

There is some really nice work from the members here. 
Here is my new iPod audio line out cable. It's about 10-11" long and is directional:
Cardas 4x24 wire
Neutrik 3.5mm plug
iPod connector
Kester silver solder
Here's a pic with it hooked up to my MINT amp:

I would love to know how you did the connectors. I am in the process of putting a few together, and want 'em to look their best.
Thanks

Oh those new connectors look so nice. And they get rid of the problem of the oversized hole where the wire comes out from the ugly big ones. To bad I have a bunch left nice work headchange4u.
