Yeah, I have some heat shrink prepared for that. But I want to connect 4 wires for ground (and 2x2 for each channel), and there is barely enough place to solder 1 wire guess I'll just twist everything together and hope it holds.
I also intend to cover up the whole thing with heat shrink with glue inside (to make it hold a bit better) before closing the jack. Glue.. isn't conductive, right?)

Then why not just splice-in 4 grd wires - 3 grd wires further back and just solder one end a the ground terminal?
Sounds like you're making life difficult for yourself.

Idk. It's a litz cable, and I don't think I'll be able to splice it very well. Don't want to gor further back on the wire, cus the part I need to connect it to is just about 1mm from the lip of the jack..

And I want it to be pretty, with the whole wire going fully in and a tiny bit of transparent strain relief sticking out. Not much room to work with here. And yeah, it seems like I'm always making life difficult for myself

8 strand pure silver hollow braid sounds amazing. Took about 2 days to finish tough… started with 8x5meter.

That's a lot of paracord Sebbai! You gotta keep one of those cables in your bug-out bag for utility purposes I'm digging the red and black combo.

Also @Chuck Dee congrats on your business venture. There are few things more rewarding (and sometimes frustrating) than running your own business. I hope it works out well!

Can you guys believe it's been 10 years?!?

Can't believe that in 2 years that'll be 20 years!!! This thread was created when I wasn't even 4 years old

Top braiding! They look super.

My stock HD800 cable broke, wanted to build new one. planning to use Double helix connector, as it should be fairly easy to work with.
But not sure which cable be best for sonic, please suggest.

Yeah I hate those even never having reterminated one. What the world needs now, is not another incompatible connector.

Read my lips: 4 pin mini XLR

Edit: P.S. Now we know why Sennheiser charges 400 euros for a spare HD 800 cable. They finally engineered something that can't be built by robotics

Well this one is about to release

good luck soldering to those pins! Will need steady hands, large magnifying glass.

Beautiful and fastidious work @Firschi . I know as the cable gets longer the braiding time becomes exponentially higher. What is the wire inside?

Wow nice! How did you get the cable into the sleeves? Seems like paracord 325 or even thinner?
