So, let the DIY Wars begin

will you be conducting a aftermarket cable review? Itd be itneresting if you could approach moon audio, headphile, zu, equinox for loaners to conduct a review, I think its about time a face off is called for

I could, but I don't think I'll have enough time. I just bought a Signalcable Analog One RCA cable, and plan on getting a few more for my RCA cable shootout. I won't be able to afford any cables for my Senns for a while It it on my list though...and I'm patiently waiting until you're unveiling

These are my first diy cables, a little sloppy but good for a first timer.
These are three line out ipod cables that I made similar to the Sik Din & Ram Din.
For the connectors I used a right angle neutrik mini and the other two are generic inline female connectors that I got from parts express.
The conductor is 24awg teflon insulated silver plated copper. With Black 1/8 techflex.

tried a 7 layer braid today, looks like the same process can be used for any odd number of wires.

Nice work. Not something we have seen is this gallery much (if ever).


Are those RadioShack B01 connectors? I own a Sik Imp and I have been wanting to take it apart and rewire it. I would like to replace the 3.5mm jack with a plug.

You wouldn't happen to have a schematic on where to solder wires on the connector you used, would you?

Needed a mini->rca and to test out a new iron so I put this together.


22 awg Silver plated teflon wire (each channel twisted), then covered each with 1/8" techflex (red for right, black for left) and then covered all of that with 1/4" white techflex. Neutrik connectors on both ends.

Excuse the penguins on the laptop, it isnt mine.

No thoses aren't from radio shack. I got them from this guy named ridax from a different forum. Found him through this thread created by Syzygies.

Here is the link to the post on ipodlinux.com where the guy is selling these connectors. The site has been having some troubles with hackers so it might be down.

If you can't get the information there this is his e-mail: beopc@hotmail.com

All this information is on Syzygies's post so check there for pinouts and other stuff.

Just a warning the pins are very small and very close together so it is very easy to bridge two of them together just as it is easy to break the pins luckily even if you break them you have a bunch of others that arent needed to replace the broken ones.

Im not allowed to post my cable pics, but I do have an example of red with white flex. It comes out whitish pink. not star quad but the canare coax instrument cable, It was a guitar cable I made for a female guitarist in the worship band at Church.

theres a pic of it on my photobucket home page, that should give you an idea of how it would look.

To the mods, this is in no way any type of advert, but to asist a DIY enquiry.
No intention was made to break any rules. thanks.
