You're right, I did up many hours into it, but it's still pretty good since the electronics are all stock.  I will order a second one with SB straight away :) 

Just sold my crack for US $870. Pretty good for a standard Crack (no Speedball).   Guess good looks sell ;)    

My bad! I has made a mistake in the soldering process and now it sounds awesome!

Hi guys!   I built a new headphonecable for my HD650 the otherday, all went well (I thought). I used Toxic Cables Viper wire, very easy to work with. When I tested the cable it sounded small and just lame. No space, no air, like a recording in a small room. Tested with Rostropovich Cello...

It turned out pretty ok for a first try. 

Built my Viper today, was a lot of fun. The round 4-braid was a little bit of a challenge but it came out good.   My question is: how long do you have to burn them in? At the moment they doesn't sound so good, the soundstage is very small compared to the stock cable and it lacks body.  ...

WOW!! I made an order last wednesday (30 feet of Viper) and got it today! That is seriously fast!!

Yes, but for stationary usage it doesn't matter :)

Just be aware of the fact that if you choose to polish you aluminium plate to a mirror finish and then spray it with a clear coat, some of that shininess will be lost. That's just how it works with aluminium and clearcoats. There's a ton to read about that very subject on car forums.

I didn't find a good solution. Long term, a high polished aluminium plate requires that you are very careful. When doing the mounting and soldering I was very very careful and worked pretty slowly with a blanket underneath. I treat my Crack with great care.   I used Autsol a couple of time...

Are you talking about the wooden enclosure or chassi plate? I assume that you mean the plate. I've done it all by hand. Started with a 240 wet sanding paper and work my way through 320, 400, 600, 800, 1200, 1500 and finally 2000. Then I used a compound called Autosol for polishing and finally a...

Thank you guys, I'm really happy to hear that you like it :) Btw, I'm selling this one. Had so much fun building it, gotta do more of these. Pm me if you're interested. The price will be high due to material costs and the amount of time invested in the project. Kindly, Mike

Sorry, forgot the mandatory wiring shot!

Finished building my Crack last week, it was a real challenge but I had a lot of fun. Spent way to much time on the finishing work.   I hope you like it :)  

Furutechs are great. Big, sturdy, well made and not too expensive. And easy to work with.
