made another one today. now the RCA and XLR cables connected to my Accuphase DP-85 are matching (except for the connectors of course). they sound great too.

My first attempt at a real interconnect, using the right materials. It's a bit sloppy, but I'm pleased with it for now.

Wow, I need you to build me a short 75-ohm adaptor cable using that stuff (with Canare F12 connector & female end)-- verrry sharp looking!

but I used 6 conductors, took me about an hour to figure out a pattern that worked and didnt look awkward. My first attempt was trying to litz the 6 conductors and it ended up looking strange.

I finally figured out a pattern but it was freakin complicated and I had to count each twist in my head. i.e. left outside twist, right inside twist, left inside twist right outside twist.. took me a a couple of hours to figure out how to braid and finally finish it.

I dont know if I'd want to tackle an 8 conductor braid. but then I didn have any model work from
