You're in school to be a chef, right? This is off clearly off topic, but you should resurrect the cooking thread and post the stuff you've made. 
On topic, I think Uncle Erik said it best when he talked about custom cables. That post always brings a smile to my face:
Recabling is Head-Fi's equivalent of buying new outfits for a Barbie doll. Don't forget, hi-fi is 90% fashion, anyway. Almost everyone buys on cosmetic values and almost no one understands what goes on inside their equipment. Nor do they make any effort to understand. Those who have actually made an effort to understand cables find them ridiculous.
Further, even a basic grasp of cost accounting shows you how manufacturers lie, cheat and deceive when it comes to pricing. It's one of those lies that's left out in the open, like an elephant in the room. No one points it out, but there it is. The cost of manufacture is nothing compared to what you get shafted for. Is it really any secret why there are so damn many cable manufacturers out there? That's because there's no investment required, no knowledge, no skill, nothing much at all required to whip up a hype machine and fleece the idiots.
If you think cables "work," then prove it. No one has. Nobody. Not in 30+ years of controversy. Maybe someone here will be the first, but I doubt it.
You can play dress up with your headphones, but it doesn't change anything.
The difference between Head-Fi'ers and little girls is that little girls know that Barbie is still Barbie when the outfit is changed.
