DIY Cable Gallery!! - Page 298

Excellent El Doug, I love those

Have you reterminated you HF-2s yet?

TY! I actually made some new balanced interconnects (solid core silver) for connecting the B32s to the B22, but I want to wait to unveil those until the system is ready

Actually, I havent even opened my HF-2's yet. I'm considering selling them (at no profit, of course), along with my HF-1's, to help finance a DIY cd transport. But then I keep reminding myself that a transport can wait, but the HF-2 supply will quickly dry up! Hence, in a cycle of changing plans, I have simply kept the HF-2's as-is, in an attempt to not ruin any possible prospects.

I'm still afraid of cutting the end off of my L3000 cable to reterminate. At the same time, my current aggressive savings means I am very hesitant to ship the cans off to the likes of Drew. I'll probably cut into them this weekend, so I can be sure to have them properly terminated for the NJ meet in 2 weeks

Where did you get the copper wire and what gauge is it. Thanks

Its vampire wire and im interested where you buy it also

I think it's 18.

That totally doesn't make any sense.

I think he was referring to the gauge. But it looks like 22awg to me.
It's Vampire CCC and Qables silver.

looks like 20AWG to me, but hard to tell with that qables silver next to it. I remember that stuff being pretty thin, but with quite a thick coat for its size. where the vampire it the other way around. with thinner insulation than jena 18

trying not to start a new thread...

Hi all!

I'm going to be building my first IC for ipod >>> car audio purposes.

I would love to do a double sleeved IC: UV-red techflex under black techflex (so the black techflex should be stretched a bit). For simplicity, and because it seems like a popular choice, I'd like to use Canare L-4E6S Star Quad cable. BTW, what gauge are the wires in this?

I would like to have black 3.5mm stereo plugs (probably both strait). What are my options as far as plugs go? I'm thinking Switchcraft, but could I get away with anything smaller? Maybe change to a smaller cable?

Eric

PS: what techflex diameters would I need?

the L-4E6S has 21g conductors. The L-4E5C is the the thinner version and I think it'd fit the ipod connectors better.
Regular techflex expands a good deal. It really depends what kind of coverage you'd want.

Yeah, 23 awg should be fine for me. L-4E5C it is then. Could I get away with neutriks if I'm going the double sleeve route?

Sorry about the terrible pictures, fruity tablecloth, and small lettering.

But it was actually really easy to do, and the right side actually sounds better. And the reason I didn't sleeve it or anything because it's just for me, and I really don't care.

but yeah, in the future, just in case people want to know, blue is ground, and red and white are signal. I think red is right, too.

Lookin' nice, Pyrokid!

Here's what I made this weekend:

Silver/Copper extension for SE530


Kimber Kable LOD


Grado SR80 recabled and Dynamat modded with HD414 reverse

Looking good as always! Kudos from somewhere a little more north from you.

wow, nice stuff bonthouse.
I think I'm gonna re-do the recable and put some nylon multifilament on when I get some. It looks really nice.
I think ad700s are some of the easiest pairs of headphones to recable ever, by the way.
More people should try it. The sound is actually improved a noticeable difference, which I didn't really think would happen.
