Last Saturday i recabled a Stax RS-5 Gold and replace it with original stax cable which is twice as fat as the stock cable...

Before...

After

Testing the new HE60 driver.. (not mine anyway)

New PcWork Recable of Ksc75... Clear Version (naked..)

with kramer mod.

2.5mm Male -> 3.5mm Female with 6 line braid of 24 AWG 6N pure Copper.

I've been thinking of using a spare barrel for a split or for covering up some resistors, but it seems kind of weird. Can anyone describe how theirs worked out?

Very very nice pcwork. I wish I had bought that silver neutrik plug for my im716 retermination, but markertek was out of stock.

I used the black/gold one. I think I might cover it in white heatshrink later on, but for now all the heatshrink I have is radioshack stuff that not only wont fit over it, but looks kinda crappy too. I cut off about 6 inches of cable from it, it used to be way too long before and would tangle easily. The only thing im worried about is the weight of the neutrik connector. I used clear heatshrink over the wires instead of the included rubber thingy to hopefully make it stronger.

This time my pictures turned out a lot better. I should have used the macro mode on my camera last time.



And here is a 6.5 foot mini-mini I built for connecting my desktop on the floor to the amp on my desk. It is the same 26awg red SPC I used in my first build. It took me over two hours to braid it, but I think it turned out well and I dont notice any mistakes in the braiding.

drizek that's very neat cable...
i infact drooling with the red cable/black plug combination...it's looks so nice..
i must make one too... =P

75ohm impedance adapter for my KSC75

this is the shortest ever i think i can built..

@TBomb06

That is a nice clean look...what did you use underneath and as the techflex?

Just a very nice looking cable...lol

and nice red braid...very long....lol...

Thanks for the nice comments

Underneath is just the 4 wires with either red or black Teflon insulation and the Techflex is the white Flexo PET stuff from Handmade Electronics.

Made a 39 ohm resistor adapter cable for my goldring dr150 headphones, really makes a different even with such low increase.

3x22awg solid silver with cotton insulation. cryo treated neutrik plugs. cardas solder.

Nice mini, Burn.

TOP : Black rohdium cable, Neutrik plug
Bottom : 6N pure copper cable, with 75ohm impedance hand picked resistor. Neutrik plug and EST stereo female.

now how the hell does that hold its twist...

could someone tell me if this looks right for a 4 conductor braid???

That's fine, but I wouldn't let the color sceme determine the function of the wires. Hook them up so they alternate between + and Ground.

cool... thanks for the tip...

i have a question about diy cables, so i thought it'd be best to ask here

is there a reason why people buy stuff like starquad or blue dragon cables or whatever else? i know they're made of different materials, but are they custom mixtures or something? cuz otherwise, wouldn't you be able to go find strands of the same material and then just braid a cable for yourself?
