DIY Cable Gallery!! - Page 76

I had actually forgotten how much I hate soldering cables, but now I remember Here's a pile of (well, five ) XLR-cables for my ongoing, system-wide, unbalanced-to-balanced conversion





The cable is from SommerCable and the plugs are Neutrik silver-plated XLRs.

I'll be making more, but it seems I've had some trouble counting because I'm out of female XLR-plugs

Variation on the TNT Shoestring Cable

A mini-meet a couple months back revealed issues with one of my DIY cables, issues which became apparent on my system after made myself a DIY power cord. And so I pilfered the connectors off it and built a new cable using the TNT Audio Shoestrings as a starting point.



Started with a 1/4" polyolefin heatshrink tube which I shrunk down then wrapped with Teflon tape. Put Cat6 solidcore cables around it as per the article, then wrapped another layer of Teflon tape on top of that before sticking it through another heatshrink tube, shrunk that down, then threaded it through an old lace from a hockey skate to make it look nice.

Sound? Pretty much as described in the article. Does not bloat up the bass as the old cables did and seems more detailed. On thing's for sure, they look a lot nicer.

I don't cover XLR cables. THere's something just very professional and industrial about black PVC running from one cable to the other

Mind you at 10m ea it wouldn't be financially ideal.

"el cheapo" power cable

I was bored and didn't really like the look of the yellow PET I bought for interconnects. That combined with the fact that I needed a RA plug on the end, I figured I would make a standard [grounded plug-to-IEC plug] cable a little cooler. I removed the outer sheeth, and braided the three leads. I then put on the yellow PET pulled it tight (to show the braid) and used some double wall, adhesive lined shrink tube to hold it down on the IEC side, and just regular 3-to-1 on the connector side.

One of the smallest cables I’ve created. 4 inches from tip to tip. Neutrik connectors driving the mister. It sounds like heaven.

Great Cable, I can't wait to get my XIn SuperMini-3 and Nano as well

Big thanks. I am waiting for the hornet!

I finished this 3 meter extension cable today. 22gauge silver plated copper wires. 4 wires total and each channel is shielded seperatly. Cable came out great and sounds just as it looks!

Hey TURBO- what's inside that 4inch cable? geometry and such.

thx

Basically, my cable is constructed and calculated having in mind some variables like insulator dielectric, grain structure, conductor purity and of course, construction geometry and such.....

Please critisize it as much as you can

This is the DIY CABLE thread, there is a plain DIY thread for posting amps here , no biggie, but you'll probably get more input there. Congrats

This is a mini to rca cable. This cable was made out of Canare wires and connectors. This is another of state of the art, TURBO's creation. Each of my cables are unique creations, they are not created equal, never!.

How long til you get your mall-fi ad, turbo?

Is it calibrated agianst the magentic field of the earth based on the longtude and latitude at which each cable is used? I would only hope so....
