how about these for mini y-split?



Ill be using these for my mini - RCA cable next week.

It will be the same design and look as my grado recable

cant wait for markertek to get my order here.

what 3.5mm plug is that?

looks to be a neutrik/rean. nice and cheap but the ones ive gotten have only been the standard size which only accepts cables up to 4mm OD.

the neutriks are the only 3.55 mini that has a small diamter barrel of acceptable quality. All the other minis with small barrels suck.

neutriks are ok, but I have inspect each plug before I use them.

Yeah, but a unibit will fix that quick! For that mini/rca I had to open up the hole quite a bit as I don't like to use heatshrink at the ends of my cable, I like to see the tech flex disappear into the jack.

Here's an example of the opened up hole (left is only slightly enlarged, right is taken to the max that I would do)



Those are just home brew. I use 3:1 heatshrink so that the pants can be wide enough at the split and still shrink all the way down at the single-sided end. While the glue is still active I use the tip of my needle-nose pliers to gently pinch the wide end together to form the pants. With a little care and some planning it comes out pretty nice.

Here's a closeup.

Work in progress,

making myself a longer Y-split, my first one was too short.





waiting for the marketek order, so I can finish off with the canare slim RCAs,

gotta wait a week

this is a pretty beefy cable, it has some weight to it. I like it. IMO one of the better looking cables Ive made so far.

no ones made any new cables lately?

Here's a new one. I don't think I've seen one of these in this thread yet.

Ety ER-4p -> ER-4s conversion cable

Mogami 2534 cable
Techflex (Spyder)
2 - 75ohm Vishay/Dale Rn series resistors (handmatched)
Neutrik 3.5mm male
Conn 3.5mm female (recommended by Tangent)

I ordered 100' of cable but it's yet to arrive. Then there's that camera thing I need.

I purchased 25 feet of spyder flex, didnt look like I thought it would, I thought it was criss cross red on black, but it was only red tracer flex.

my favorite is still black beige

ill have the completed RCA y splitter with pics at the end of the week, and possibly some headphone extensions.

I like the color scheme!

new gallery shots

What is that?
