You will find lots of suppliers of the cable and connectors on the net, ge, ebay, partsconnexion, redco, wirecare, ect.

lol yes i do, but i was asking where do you guys buy these cables...
i know you guys put them together, im sure you guys dont actually MAKE every single thread of the cables too

Ah, sorry... I was thinking of the whole thing....

Mogami or Cordial cable for me... available in any decent store, internet or otherwise.

Does anyone have any IEM recable recipes?

yes i was wondering this too..
and you guys actually REPLACE the whole cable with a new one huh?
i thought it was just adding like a sleeve..

I replaced the cables on some of my IEMs with a $0.5 one from Dealextreme, which made them better...

Built a super short mini-mini for a portable rig:

WOW, thats sweet

haha, that thing's hilarious.
it looks so cute.

im looking to buy some of this cable for my iems

I'd recommend this if you want to sleeve the cable:

You can't simply just slide it over your iem cable. You have to somehow protect the sleeve ends. Sleeve should be tucked into the plug, and usually heatshrinked over at the y-split, which means you probably need to create a new cable alltogether.

Multifilament would be hard to stretch over the plug because it doesn't expand much so you'd probably be stuck with sleeving that's too big for the actual cable since you need something big enough to slip over the plug. I'd go with some form of 1/8" expandable sleeving, maybe something even smaller. As for the ends, yes it can be done. Just cut it exactly to size, slip it over, and use some double wall adhesive heatshrink for the ends.
