That would be cool to see... interesting concept!

Judging by the quality of your work, I'm know they weren't!

Hey, I need you suggestion for materials for cable for Sennheiser HD555.
I need good materials, but not "THE BEST", something in the normal price range [not more than 25$].

I need 10ft cable with 3.5mm plug.

Please feel free to give/drop any good ideas.

What do you think about the ViaBlue T6S 3.5mm stereo plug?

ViaBlue T6s Phono Plug | 3.5 mm Stereo | Gold-Plated

On what cables do you suggest and on which sleeves?

Will this fit good?:

That plug alone is around $10-15....recabling will typically exceed $25, just letting you know.

 

[pila405]

Ok, I extended the budget to 50$.

 

[momomo6789]

say buy viablue mini + split buy 2x the length of mogami 24 awg to get 4 stands of clear copper then take w/e length of nylon you want up to the cable split that should float around 50. btw if you want some nylon 3/8th fits every thing i can give you some for shipping charge have 200 something foot roll if it

3-1 heat shrink if possible.

Looks like blingy nonsense considering your limited budget. Use a tried and proven Neutrik plug, it's cheaper, sturdy, and functional.

 

[jageur272]

I personally would use (if I were on that budget):

-Mogami/Canare starquad (10 feet)
-Neutrik NYS231L
-About an inch of 3:1 1/4" adhesive lined heatshrink (for the y-split)
-About 3 feet of 2:1 1/8" heatshrink (to cover the leads after the y-split; 2:1 is much more flexible after heatshrunken than 3:1, esp. at that size)
-Sleeving optional

The viablue connectors are nice and easy to work with, but so are the Neutrik connectors. I also prefer nickel to gold, when you're plugging and unplugging, the nickel won't get rubbed off quite as easily (but if you want gold, then you can just buy a gold plated neutrik from daleproaudio and swap the connectors and barrels).

@momomo6789 - Thank you very much for the advice and the nylon suggestion - I guess I will use it

.

@dfkt - Why? It look really good [In terms of beauty] and also sturdy.
Don't you think I cant have a good cable with this plug and this budget?

look at it:

Oh, and guys, there is no Y split for the HD555.

Can you also give me the exact model name of the Canare/Mogami cable, cause it is my first DIY cable so I know almost nothing in this area...^^'

^^Some shameless advertising from me

Pay attention to the Bill of Materials on the first post.

[pila405]

Is it the same if I dont have the Y split?

 

[cyberspyder]

You don't need the 3:1 heatshrink then because, if I've gotten this correct, you're making a single entry cable.
