Right now I am just looking for cabling. My choices seem to be either a cable with four conductors inside a plastic shielding that i can use a PET sleeve over, or, get individual conductor wires, and sleeve over the group of however many I need, but I am not sure if the PET will get a good clamp on all of that.

Home Brew with magnet wire one was 26g and in green, the others were 30g, cotton and or teflon and tech flex. 2.5mm connectors from sennheiser and 3.5mm from neutrix/rean. Each of the six cables has 2 conductors and a 2.5mm jack on one end and a 3.5mm jack on the other.

One cable had crossed connectors, one a twist with teflon between the conductors and one had parallel with cotton inbetween all wrapped in teflon tape (as parallel as possible):

One for the isine

Would you mind telling what the sleeving that you used is please it looks excellent.

Could someone please tell me what I would need to do to get the twist like this in the main cable, I have tried to contact the original poster but have had no reply, apologies if
I have offended by using the photo and if so I will remove it straight away, anyway I would really like to make a cable like this but am not sure how to do the single wire twist before
the Y. Any explanation is very helpful, thank you.

My second replacement cable I have made, my first from scratch. For Sennheiser HD650.. Silver Plated Copper PTFE 24AWG. 4 cables per side. Silver Solder. Not sure if I should have covered it in cord though? Didn't feel like hiding the pattern. Wire and Parts are from oidiosound.co.uk

I decided to cover the cable above in paracord as it wanted it to last and to see if i could improve to microphonics. It did somewhat and the cable could be referred as pretty vivid now too..



Here are some of the other cables I have made in the last month, the connections might seem a little weird but they were made that way on purpose.

He probably just twisted that part by hand and "locked" both ends (with tape for example) and then used clear shrink tube over it, which shrunken holds twisted cable in place.

Thank you, I guessed that but the twist looks excellent, I'll give it a go, thanks for replying.

its pretty easy to get a decent twist with a drill. Tie the conductors around something like a door knob or clamp in a vice and tie the other end around a drill bit or depending on the size just put the bunch straight in the drill and tighten. Pull so there is some tension. Then let her rip! You could use a hand drill if you want to control the twist more if doing additional cable. I do this with 30g magwire and it works, so normal wire should be no problem.

Looking at this closer, I would twist 2 wires together and then repeat. So you have 2 sets of 2 twisted wires. Then put the 2 sets together and twist them. Then untwist the 2 big sets after the Y

Thank you, I've sort of managed to do this but now I'm not sure what to use for the clear jacket, I'm thinking clear pe heatshrink as I'm not sure whether teflomn would be too stiff.

Attempt number 2! This time I stuffed as much paracord as I could onto each wire. The microphonics are MUCH better with looser paracord.

Latest build for a friend, you know your weave is right when your lengths always end up the same when you are done.
