DIY Cable Gallery!!

[TURBO]

Just made a new Paranoid mini Cable for my Home made state of the art Turbo Ipod connector.
How it sounds?. Overkill! Huge soundstage! Bass, to the deepest frequencies, ja, I reached the point of no return. I cant describe the sound anymore.

TURBO,

What kinda braid did you do there on your headphone cable? It doesn't look like a Litz from the angle in your pic.

What cable did you use to make your mini to mini?

From how I sede it, it looks liek it is a classic tri-braid. Please correct me if I am wrong.

It may be but normally you have 2 ground wires, one for each side, in most headphone cables. I don't know what cans TURBO is using.

Hi. It's the 4 wire classic Litz braid. It looks like only two wires are running, but there are four braided wires. I started looking at the Litz pattern and followed my instincts after I started. This is a recabled KSC-75 . Thanks.

I used my last "new" style connector to make this:

iPod line out to mini
22awg gold ally wire in a tri-braid
Neutrik 3.5mm plug
Kester silver solder

That is... very cool. Is it possible to make a lineout/usb connector for cheaper than the 20 or 30 dollars that the guys who make the pocketdock want?

Here's a pic of my new power cable made by one finnish DIY'er. Cable material can be compared to Oehlflex (written differently here in Finland).

custom solid core and stranded silver plated copper cable with LOK RCA's





Finally finished up my Senn cable... spliced HD600 connectors, silver plated copper wire, and Neutrick 1/4" plug.

There are some truly inspired cables in this thread. Here is my meager offering...

My first cable:
6" mini-to-mini
black star quad
swithcraft right angles
reflex techflex



It turned out much better than my first cmoy amp
