First of all, I used the search function, but still couldn't find what I was looking for (even in the tutorials). I apologize if what I'm posting has been asked to death.
I'm looking to get into DIY cabling. Just mini to mini interconnects for now (for my Clip+ to amp and such). I've already made one interconnect (pic here), but I need some more guidance. The biggest concern is what type of wire to use, preferably something off ebay (I've read navships is a good seller). No need for anything expensive, just something thicker than the cheap thin wire I have in my first successful DIY cable attempt.
As for materials, I've already got a soldering iron, solder, and wire cutters. I know I need some 3.5mm plugs, wire, and a helping hands station. Would I need heat shrink or some type of sheathing for it? Is braiding necessary? If so, how do you braid wire properly?
For the wire, what type and gague should I use? OFC copper? Silver-plated copper? Again, I'm just trying to make some decent, short mini to mini interconnects.
Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks for reading.
