Four strands of litz wire sleeved individually, then braided together.

It has been done before, but my sleeves are rather loose so it looks a bit different.

Just made this last night. Viablue 3.5mm plugs carbon 1/8'' techflex over braided 24gauge wire. Turned out better than I expected :)

IDE Cable. Shortest/smallest cable I've made so far, no noticeable changes in sound to my ears. My attempt with enamel copper wire broke, the soldering points were too weak.

Perhaps to hold the braid together while feeding it through the nylon?

Some recent cables I've made for myself:

A BNC Digital Cable featuring Furutech Rhodium plated BNC terminations and DHLabs silver sonic cable. The silver sonic has an appx. 20 gauge silver plated copper solid conductor.

 

 

 

KmbrExtension.jpg

A 6 foot headphone extension with a litz braid of Kimber wiring (clear and white), and Furutech 1/4" plug.

 

 

 

 

SlvrKmbrMini.jpg

6 conductor mini to mini cable (1 foot) featuring 4 strands of Kimber TCSS and 2 runs of 24 gauge silver in teflon. Each signal gets 1 run of TCSS and 1 run of silver, the ground gets 2 runs of TCSS.

It can act as additional dielectric / prevent vibration / or preserve geometry as you said.

Did you just cut up small pieces of red and white shrink then shrunk them onto the gold ground portion? I don't recall Switchcrafts ever came with a colour option?
