DIY Cable Gallery!! - Page 66

This thread sure has been active. I feel left out. Luckily, I'm working on some cables tonight (2 x RCA, 1x Digital Coax) and should have some pictures to post soon.

Got some new work to show. Unfortunately the pics didn't turn out too great. I'll get some better ones someday.

Anyway,

2m Digital Coax
Beldin 1695a Cable
Canare RCAP-C53 connectors
Heatshrink and techflex

This one was very easy to put together even without a real coax stripper. I like the mechanical crimp designs quite a bit after trying this. The picture looks weird though as the black tech flex is causing some weird effect with the camera:




1m Stereo RCA pair
Beldin 89207 cable
Miova locking RCA connectors
Techflex

These came out very nice, the finish on these connectors is excellent. I need a better pic of these too though:

I've been looking at the same connectors on Ebay. They look sooo nice. The same seller has some pretty impressive looking cables also. How do you like them

thanks for the compliments. I tried to do my best in keeping the quality of the recable on par (or at least as best as I could) with the headphone. I wish I had a better sleeve selection though since techflex cannot compete with the stock L3000 silk-covered cable. that stock cable is pretty much the best and most overdone cable I've seen.

I'll post impressions and comparisons between the balanced ATH-L3000 through a variety of balanced amplifiers, and the ATH-L3000 unbalanced through the AT-DHA3000 amplifier (an amplifier specifically made by AT for the L3000) later on somewhere in the Headphone Forum, hopefully within a week.

I'm very happy with the connectors. They look simply amazing in the right light, especially the candy apple red ones. They were pretty easy to work with, the strain relief is captured by a screw which I like alot more than a crimp style. Fairly easy to solder, although I would have liked a drilled hole in the ground so I could loop through to make it more solid while soldering.

The locking feature is nice too but I found even when unlocked the connectors were very tight initially.

Just made a new Paranoid mini Cable for my Home made state of the art Turbo Ipod connector.
How it sounds?. Overkill! Huge soundstage! Bass, to the deepest frequencies, ja, I reached the point of no return. I cant describe the sound anymore.

TURBO,

What kinda braid did you do there on your headphone cable? It doesn't look like a Litz from the angle in your pic.

What cable did you use to make your mini to mini?

From how I sede it, it looks liek it is a classic tri-braid. Please correct me if I am wrong.

It may be but normally you have 2 ground wires, one for each side, in most headphone cables. I don't know what cans TURBO is using.

Hi. It's the 4 wire classic Litz braid. It looks like only two wires are running, but there are four braided wires. I started looking at the Litz pattern and followed my instincts after I started. This is a recabled KSC-75 . Thanks.

Just finished building:

EMU-0404 Custom Breakout

Black Techflex
Mogami 2534 4 conductor microphone cable

That is... very cool. Is it possible to make a lineout/usb connector for cheaper than the 20 or 30 dollars that the guys who make the pocketdock want?

Here's a pic of my new power cable made by one finnish DIY'er. Cable material can be compared to Oehlflex (written differently here in Finland).

custom solid core and stranded silver plated copper cable with LOK RCA's





Finally finished up my Senn cable... spliced HD600 connectors, silver plated copper wire, and Neutrick 1/4" plug.

There are some truly inspired cables in this thread. Here is my meager offering...

My first cable:
6" mini-to-mini
black star quad
swithcraft right angles
reflex techflex



It turned out much better than my first cmoy amp
