Nice to see more people with the AKG K340 as well... they are spreading like wildflowers.

I have tried that wiring before. It is a silver plated copper wire covered in a single layer of Kapton then Teflon then shielded and then 2 layers of Kapton. It is either a single wire or twisted pair. Pretty damn good wire if you ask me, but I have moved on.

Do you feel left out?

And to get back on topic here is a cable I finished for emu1212 to amp.







Sadly pictures do no justice to this cable.

Yes I do feel left out, i've never heard the K340s. And you're right, that cable is amazing ALthough, I would change the terminations. I think heatshrink terminations are really ugly personally....
