nylon has significantly lower levels of microphonics. That's one of the main downsides of the techflex. Fortunatly it looks so good otherwise I wouldn't use slieving at all.

The DIY cable gallery is gotten huge! I just looked back through from page one last night and there are some beautiful cables here! I think it may be about time for " DIY Cable Gallery Part II" thread.
Well...been lurking for sometime now and I think its time I posted my first attempt at a DIY cable. Made a power cord for my buddy...let me know what you guys think. My next project is a mini-RCA for my brother and then some speakers cables for this buddy again.

Nothing wrong with continuing to use this one as long as people keep their images up from the earlier posts. Perhaps if the moderators come through and clear out any of the posts that have broken links to pics, it would help keep the thread fresh. I have people coming to me with questions about cables from the first page in some instances so I know people are still viewing them.

My hardest cable yet. These iPod connectors are a b**ch. I completed 4 different connectors only to have the one of the pins break after I had finished. I finally ended up encasing the pins in hot glue after I soldered the wires. After I put the two halves of the connector back together I filled the interior of the plug with hot glue.
iPod audio line out cable:
22awg SPC wire 4 strand Litz braid (2 ground)
Neutrik 3.5mm plug
Kester silver solder
iPod connector (bought here from ridax) This is one of the newer style plugs he has in a limited amount. They are a little more slim and works with my Vaja case, where the older style would not.
This was also my first cable using my new Hakko 936 staion. I love my Hakko.
Quick question, I know i've seen this on a few peoples cables, But most recently VR6ofpain, Your mini -> rca, Do you use two types of techflex?
I can see the Yellow and blue, but what about that shiny black on top of it? Is that another sort of techflex or what?
Edit: Headchange4you, Thats a very cool cable you got there btw. I've been thinking about doing that myself but it seems like a B**** so maybe I'll just watch you make them
Cheers!
Jeff
