Hi guys,
I have finished my AKG Q701 second cable. I wanted a lighter and more flexible cable and ended up with the following;
24AWG silver plated copper wire - braided 3 wires
Yarbo & Furutech plugs
Very clean.
I also made a USB to mini USB cable with gold plated ends. Made out of VIABLUE EPC-4 Silver cable and a black nylon braid.
Hope you guys like it. Comments much appreciated.
it looks awesome, can you please give the link to head shrink you are using for USB cable.
Here you go. It's thick and has a glue-like layer on the inside to stick. I like its thickness

Sorry for this continuos spam, but I just finished my 9-braid USB 3 cable; USB to micro USB. Hardest part was probably the braiding. Works like a charm, and pretty indeed.

Great looking cables man, very clean and professional looking. Finally finished my first cable ever. Soldering these Sennheiser connectors was a serious pain!

Sorry this is off topic, but @scizzro your avatar completely cracked me up. What episode is this from and what caused Kostanza's conniption fit?

He used black twice. Take a look at the HD600/650 connectors

Like MrEleventy said, I used Black x2, Navy and Slate Grey. I was trying to match the color of the plastic on the HD600. The wire isn't litz, no. I used 24 AWG stranded UPOCC copper from SonicCraft. Probably overkill but it was pretty cheap.
Awesome job, scizzro. My first cable sure didn't look that good, plus the color scheme is very nice.

Haha I wish I knew. Knowing George, it was probably something completely vain and meaningless

Thanks man, it definitely turned out better than I expected. I made a few mistakes (don't forget the heat shrink before you solder a connector...) but I learned from them.
