Something to allow me to connect those balanced K340 directly to the Cyrus (speaker) amp:

Knocked up a couple of different ipod docks tonight...


The first dock is a simple ofc dock, shielded, neutrick jack.


The next is a little nicer, 19 strands of silver plated ofc per channel, each individually sheathed in heat shrink and polyester and then braided. the braid is oriented to allow for an amp to be connected alongside a ipod, rather than the traditional underneath method. neutrick jack.


Lastly, but certainly not least, the same silver plated ofc config as above, but longer and terminated with neutrick rca jacks.


Because of the gauge of the conductors (and because i wanted to use the smallest connectors available for asthetics), i had to do a lot of dremel work on both the ipod connectors and the neutrick mini jacks. overall very worth it though, smaller conductors dont look or feel as nice! each has been potted and sealed with two part resin. im very pleased overall, look out for these in the fs forums (after some extensive testing)!

Signals that small don't benefit from conductors that large. 30 AWG would suit your needs fine.

Seems to be the exact same jacks as I used, fitting 4 pieces of 22 AWG wasn't all that easy, first time even soldering. To be honest I was surprised it worked.

Really like yours though, the braiding looks a lot better than the cheap stuff I used

yeah i know, but i wanted durability and prettyness.... anyhow the conductors arn't all that large, its the shielding that makes up most of the mass.

not the prettiest recable... my freaking y-split was perfect before the nylon sleeving decided to slide out before I could finish heating it! Also lacked colored heat-shrink so I had to resort to electrical tape.









I used a 6 wire braid configuration. Two grounds and 1 signal. It's a 6 wire round braid split into two 3 wire braids.

DIYers who wants to make some extra cash, check my sig. on your reply, if you've made some already, attach some pics too thanks.

I like that you took those with Pelican's Australasia LP as the backdrop. Great album, and the vinyl is really well presented.

I made a mini <-> mini interconnect for my Laptop and Cmoy.



It is made of 2 Neutrik 3,5mm plugs some spare wire I had lying around. Unfortunatly I burned the Techfelx when shrinking the tube.

My first set... I guess they're good enough



HGA silver braid under those sheaths, and the terms are HGA silver midline... spent a little more than expected, but they sound pretty damn good

"Good enough"? Those look awesome!

Wow thanks! (takes his newfound haughtiness and buys some more cables )

I was so nervous/anxious/excited while doing this, and I was pleasantly surprised at how exact the lengths are... oops, guess I got lucky, I'll need to pay more attention next time so I can get the same result.

A mini-to-RCA I made for some Millets I'm building a friend.

where does everyone get their cables from ? and all the materials needed .

Check the "how to for interconnects" sticky. There are some links there that got me started.
