Anybody know the part number or where I can get the female lemo connector that mates with the Utopia cable.
Thanks

They are just LeMo connectors, you can download the data catalog and figure out what you would need.

anyways, this was done by me a while ago for my Utopia and I saved it up. This is exactly what you will need for Utopia female . Price is 1 connector and not a pair

have fun

CEMA Electro Acousti cables are highly recommended in the cheap/bang for buck cables thread. They also sell DIY wire/plugs etc. What caught my eye was their UPOCC litz copper wires in 4-core round braided sections:

I reckon its the same wire they use in their mid level cables. For $9.66 USD (1.25m) you have enough wire for a 4 ft iem cable.

Cost about $15 USD in total to make this cable!!! amazing value

Bought 3 x 1.25m, came in a continuous 3.75m

My previous post was 4 strand cable : https://www.head-fi.org/threads/diy-cable-gallery.71148/post-15445972

I recently made an 8 strand version of the same cable:

8strand round braid is easy to make a mistake, ruining the braiding sequence and having to start over again. After 3 tries i finished the whole cable and love how much more premium it feels over the 4 strand version.
