I've got another couple on the go which I'll post soon, just waiting for braid sleeving.... Can't get the slim Dock connectors any more which is a shame cause they look real nice I think.

Here's my newest cable. It's my owm custom made HD580/HD600/HD650 cable. It's made from stranded silver wire with wire braid shield. All I'm waiting for is the end connectors to arrive, then I will finish it.

How does it look? The image is an attachment.

looks good man; whats the stranded silver wire?? is it stranded pure silver or SPC?? because stranded silver is relatively hard to get a hold of. where did you get it??

YES!! i did it my first DIY cable. So proud of myself.

Well after a whole day, my first DIY cable (I'm pround). used 24 awg speakercable and everything was from radio sahck. I gave up on soldering with a Sh***y cold heat and used the last pf my hot glue and then gorilla glue. BTW that last part was after my first attempt.

First try found out the braid screwed every thing up!


2nd time good braid job damaged all the parts but it works!


By "God" i hope somebody comments that it looks good and not bad and that im not hallucinating its good looking.

It looks pretty cool, but please, and I mean it seriously, let me send you some decent freaking wire so you aren't using RatShack speaker cable for this thing. PM me your address and you'll get a short spool with enough to make a few of these and I'll feel better that people don't use crappy wire when there are so many good and cheap alternatives.
post #3748 of 9478

Yes i would love lome free wire.

meant to make that a pm

So send me a PM with your address and $5 for shipping and I'll send you some wire too. Asking for shipping only because it's hong-kong and it's a little more expensive for mail.
