Now here's the real kicker, are all the wires the same length?
they were when I started... and after I go at them with my wire cutter one more time after the braiding is done.
isn't it obvious from the picture that currently after the braiding but before the final assembly that the wire lengths are all over the place? (or maybe it isn't. I cannot seem to take good pictures tonight anyways.) better yet, the teflon tubing around them seems to have changed length during the braiding process so some are longer than the wire inside while others are shorter now.
right now I have 10 cm or so of the second cable braided up... going to be a while before I'm finished.

that has got to be one of the best looking interconnects I have ever seen. Kudos to you for a job well done.
How does it sound? Is there any difference between the 8 wire braid and the 3 wire braid?
how much did it set you back?

Those cables look very nice ayt999. I think I might try to pick up some 22AWG tubing to use with the silver wire I got from the group buy. The teflon sheath that is on the wire is too thin and strips off easily. Do you have any more information about the teckflex like stuff that you are using that is white?
Also, when you do a 4 wire braid do you use two for ground and two for signal? If I was making a mini-mini cable would I be better off just doing a simple 3 wire braid or is there a benifit to using a 4 wire braid and using two for the return?
PS. I don't want to hijack this thread, so if you [or anyone] has any answers a PM is fine.
