Hi, This is my first post but I have been using this site as a great resource for audio equipment. I am building some Apple themed speakers (http://www.htguide.com/forum/showthread.php4?t=36493) and I want to make really nice looking speaker cables that complement the speakers.

 

I have some 14ga twisted wire inside of a rounded clear casing that I want to sleeve to make look nice and clean. I also want to sleeve other cables on my computer system of various diameters. I tried some Tech Flex like material from McMaster and it was way to shinny black plastic look, also it was a bit to small as you could see the wire inside it. I am looking for like a flat black rope kind of look. I have thought about using actual rope etc but it would be very difficult to do and to find in many different diameters. So, does anyone know of a tech flex like material that has a flat black finish not a glossy one?

You might check "PARTS EXPRESS"   just google them.....They might have sleeving (other then black plastic weave) and I know they have loads of heat shrink and connectors.....

Clear speaker cable is awesome :( unless you have animals that like to chew things. I think techflex nylon is what you're looking for, but under bright light it does become quite reflective.

I recommend checking out the other sleeving sold by ebayer furryletters, good price and selection.
