DIY Cable Gallery!! - Page 72

Interesting 4 wire litz mini interconnect. I used equal awg SCCw/T for each positive lead (blue), one larger awg run for the negative (purple) and a second very small awg wire also connected to the negative (yellow). the second one was purely for looks, but I figured it would not hurt anything, and I wanted the yellow "tracer" to visually show off the litz braid. looks pretty slick under the carbon PET.





What do you think?

Looks good VR6!

just finished up some gold alloy RCAs with my new bullet plugs

I just made a 1 foot mini to mini cable. Consists of 3 22gauge silver plated copper wires and a silver plated shield. All contacts are covered in liquid electrical tape.

This is my latest Paranoid mini to mini cable. Smallest ever, like no other, custom fit for my SMV3, 4gb nano and my Paranoid Ipod-Nano line out adapter. Connectors are Neutrik and cable is made out of high quality cooper stranded wires. All nicely wrapped in Neon green Techflex. No stress on the device connectors as you can see (because of size measurements )

Here is a cable I made month ago, but never got around to taking pictures of it because of where it is and I didn't want to take my system apart again. It’s made of 24 gauge silver plated copper wire covered in Teflon. Each is shielded with a silver plated copper shield. The DB9 connector has copper pins (very hard to find) and on the other end HGA silver RCA connectors. I do love this cable.

nice ones. bybee eichmann plugs?

I custom ordered them from Eichmann... they are the normal plugs but with black metal housings

cool, I didn't know you can do that.

hopefully I can post my first pic on monday. I have finished half the cable, but my techflex isn't here yet!! The cable looks great though. Litz Braid 22awg Silver plater copper Teflon shield, Switchcraft mini to switchcraft RCA. My roomate had a mini to RCA cable from best buy but I stole it, so now I am making him a new one. And for his birthday on wed!!!

How does the Nano sound with Xin's amp (sorry to take things off-topic). Nice looking cable. I plan to get a Nano and a Xin SuperMini (when available), and I'd be curious what you think.

The Nano sounds very, very nice without any amp. Sometimes, I ask myself if I really need an amp with my Nano?. The key is track replay gain your songs to 92.0 or 93.0 db with the mp3gain program.

The Nano is incredible fast mp3 device and sound separation is very good. Overall is a nice choice. You are going to have the smallest combo available.

Interesting, I will have to give the track gain a try and see what happens. I really like some of the additional features (like the P to S for my etys), I had the SuperDual and loved it. Can't wait to give Xin's latest creation a try. Gotta think about cabling too (to put this thread back on topic).

Are those zip-ties?

I asked him that same question via PM right after he posted that. They are zip-ties.
