what I find that works is just using over sized shrink, at its maximum shrink, the tubing becomes perfectly round and flex should fit over smoothly. its good for those that dont want the twisted look.

I would think 3 layers of shrink would kill the flexibility?

Yeah, it did exactly that. I figured since I planned on plugging them in and leaving them in it didn't really bother me. Or at least not as much as having the heavy RCA connectors flop around with just the two cables holding them up.

What is the name/color of the TechFlex you are using there? I really like it.

I'ts color "White/Beige/Black" 3/8" TechFlex PET from WireCare.com

I'm tempted to try their "Sherbert" color , (the sad thing is I'm only half joking).

I ended up buying some of the Ogre after much debate. I wish I hadn't now.

I made this cable to go from a source component to a headphone amp via a headphone jack. I put a jack on one end so it could also serve as an extention cable for headphones.

12' Mogami 2534 cable
Neutrik 1/4" plug
Calrad 3.5mm jack
Black w/ white tracer sleeving (from Ebay)
Kester silver bearing solder
