thought I'd add a few pics

my Koss KSC75's SPC recable

my wife's Koss KSC75's housed in a Sony v150 headband

and a couple starquad/F12 mini-mini cables

What did you use there for the first KSC75 pic? It looks nice, and fairly limp.

Folloing ar emy first two DIY projects. Both took a couple of hours to make ssince I'm not used to the tendencies of making stuff like this, but I'm happy. The 1/8" - 1/8" cable is braided SPC and the RCA cable is Star Quad. First, my interconnect from my MD to LDM+. It's about 8" from tip to tip and is the first cable that I did:

Next is the RCA Cable that I made a little while after I made the 1/8" interconnect:

I think it turned out a bit better, but I'm pretty happy about both. Thanks for all the advice and comments

Nice first cables. One question did you use a lighter or a heat gun for the heat shrink?

[SoundGoon]

believe it or not an electric stove

Is that PVC heatshrink?

 

[SoundGoon]

I don't know actually. It's from Radioshack, and it's shiny and I think it looks kinda tacky. I just ordered some from wirecare.com today so hopefully it will solve that prolem

Polyolefin heatshrink is what most people use and most places sell, but I guess that's Radioshack for ya. I'm amazed they still even have anything DIY related.

All my RS heatshrink looks great, except the printing on the outside that has size and info, but I think it actually looks kinda neat.

Links are in my sig if you need to see my DIYs

Next time you use heat shrink use a heat gun, it will keep the heat shrink from being shinny.

I think that it is this newer ratshack heatshrink. I bought a package about 3 weeks ago and it was the normal, not shiny stuff (but had the info on it). Then, about a week and a half ago I wewnt in to get some more and all they had in all black was the shiny stuff. Granted, it didn't have the info printed on it, but it was shinny. RH, I appreciate your advice, but I think that the shinny-ness (is that a word?

) in this case is just how the ssuff comes/came.

 

[TheRH]

Also next time you order from Wirecare, get some of there heat shrink. Is as there other products are is very good quality.

Good advice again and already did. I ordered about 7 feet of different types of heat shrink from them this morning
