Made my friend a iPod line out connector for his birthday, I also soldered a cable with a 3.5mm jack into his Toyota factory radio on a 92 truck. The jack is mounted in the dash and he can plug his iPod in and it plays through his stereo.

Canare Star Quad cable
Switchcraft RA 3.5mm plug
iPod connector from here.

Neon Blue Cable for my EMU 1212M. Build as paranoid I can be. Je, je like always. Neutrik and Canare all the way. Copper contacts (inside) are been cured against corrosion and isolated by electric liquid tape. I think, I die and they are still around. You know, it’s now or never. You never get satisfied

tonight i re-recabled my akg k-240 (600 omegas)

my first cable attempt involved canare starquad, and an f-12 connector. sadly it pulled out due to inadequate strain releif.

i used hand braded 22ga silver plated stranded wire with black teflon insluation. braid is a circular litz type. the whole cable is covered by a nice bit of plain black techflex. shrink-wrap was usded libberally. i was MUCH more carefull about strain releif. i re-used the f-12 mini connector. total length is about 4 ft, as these are my portable headphones.
