Gorgeous, Dimitri. Where do you guys get your heavy duty shrink tubing?


I got all my DIY parts from Moon audio. The heatshrink is really good quality and shrinks to like three times the original size. Good stuff!

I have used the basic Neutriks quite a bit (I like the way they look way more than the Switchcraft), and haven't had any problems with the ground tab. I agree that it isn't smooth inside and scuffs up the multifilament, but using W2893 work much easier with these.

BUT this is a gallery thread, so on that note nice speaker cables, xTr3Me-aka-Chris. Is that Viablue Redline sleeving that you used?



ughhh sigh.... I wish I could post pics. I got a pair that I've used for a while now and I love how they look. Too bad its against head-fi rules.

And to actually contribute a picture, here is a work in progress pic of my first low profile LOD.

I forgot to take pics as I built it, but it is a clipped Neutrik mini (decided to not waste a right angle), Mundorf wire, and some epoxy putty from Home Depot. So far, not too bad. I will be taking a rotary sanding tool to it to even and smooth it out. It is ugly now (that is teflon tape to protect the mundorf from the putty), but it works perfectly.

If they are your own cables is that still not kosher?

As long as he's not in the business of selling them or has some other financial interest in them, I don't see any reason why he can't post pictures.

Not if you've sold cables on the forum (as an MOT) even though I don't have the title officially (yet), still can't do it. Once you've sold cables outside of DIY price (cost of parts + shipping) then you're an MOT, (made official by Jude and his team of course) and are no longer allowed to post pics as it would be a form of advertising.

Unless they're cables that you had previously sold as a MOT, I don't see why posting photos of them would be a problem.

Hell, send me the photos and I'll post 'em.

Beautiful cables.

Gee, I wonder who could have made them?

ROFL.

Those are absolutely some beautiful cables. I love that weave and have experiemented with it, but never made a finished cable because I couldn't get it perfect looking. Very nice.

Wow, the one of the right incorporates two of my biggest cabling nightmares: the ultra slim LOD and the Neutrik RA. Great job handling them

Here is my newly made extension cable that will be used to connect my se530's to my Fiio e5. I couldn't stand the rigidity and the tangling of the stock extension cable, so i decided to build one instead. I used stripped mogami mini starquad cable for this job and neutrik connectors.
