LOL, kind of sucks since it melts right through the RCA connectors.

Well, unless they're made out of cortosis.

I didn't just type that........

It's a way to braid the wires. Scroll up a little bit higher to see Highflyin9's post about it.

now i know theyre nothing compared to most of the cables you guys have build, but hey you gotta start somewhere right??? i just bought parts off the shelf from altronics. these cables are destined to adorn the 4 (yes four) technics 1200's we have in our studio.




note the cheapo plastic rca's next to them. i had some cable lieing around and the connectors cost me next to nothing. so next time someone asks me for an rca, and i know i'll never get it back, i've got something to give them! :280smile: plus theyre always useful to have in your record bag in case something screws up!@#

oh if you are all interested in our dj setup it's here:
