I thought about it but it seems to me that it might be difficult to use for cables given the non-uniform cross section. I can imagine it being hard to even make a twisted pair out of it. I may order some at some point anyway, just cause I'm a glutton for punishment.

I was thinking of it more as hookup wire, which begs the question of why I posted it in this thread to begin with... but if it works for IC's as well, that would be nice.

If you do try it out, let me know what you think.

I built an extension cable to go from my new amp to my headphones.

None of my headphone cables reach from the amp to my chair. I could not justify chopping up a perfectly good grado extension cable to make a balanced extension, so I used some canare starquad I had about. The cable was actually recycled from my balanced sr-125's.

@Punnisher: Excellent work. That is extremely low profile. Must make carrying an amp around so much easier. The one thing that puts me off a portable amp is the size of LODs.

I wonder if its possible to make a totally rigid LOD? If the jack was connected directly to the iPod connector it would possibly make it all more solid/rigid. Ive been trying to think of how it would be done, extremely fiddly for one!

Canare F-12 Mini and Eichmann Copper Bullets, F-12 seems to be the only plug that fits 4x 18awg Jena cable, the 35HD's are hard to use especially for the ground, damn fat cable, pain in the butt to work with. If it didn't sound so nice, I'd never use it again......


you can use the 35HD but you just have to start with the mini ie. solder all the jena to the terminals on the mini fill with hot glue screw the case on and THEN braid the cable thats what I always do for LOD's if you start braiding the cable befoire the hot glue solidifies you can still gtet a nice tight braid happening

I didn't have enough room to make much of a braid, sorry!

Oh dangit Punnisher you stole my idea!!!!!

Lol. Nah. Jk. I was planning to make something similar to that after my exams but mine would have a slight variation, enabling you to use the LOD if the input jack was either in the middle or to the left. Nevertheless, very nice work indeed.
