Care to share where you got the silver/gold cable?

Made to my specs by my cousin, who works R&D for one of the big cable manufacturers.

 

[BebopMcJiggy]

Re-cabled M50.  (Balanced for no particular reason.)  I made the cable shorter... I intend to use them for travel and such.  No, I don't care if I look like an ass on airplanes.  Don't really know that they needed to be balanced but why not eh?  Made from the same stranded silver plated copper wire spool, this time with flexo pet over the nylon multi-filament.

That looks nice. Noob question I thought balanced always had two thingys coming out, one for right and one for left. Now I am all kinds of confused.

4 pin xlr L+ L- R+R- instead of G L- L+    G R-R+

Hi momomo,
 
Thanks for the reply. In regards to your last statement correct me if I am wrong, please...
 
balanced -
 
-4 pin xlr (1 pin for positive left, 1 pin for negative left, 1 pin for positive right, and 1 pin for negative right)
-?3 pin xlr? (you would need two of them) (1 pin positive left, 1 pin negative left, and 1 g [ground??]) and (1 pin positive right, 1 pin negative right, and 1 g)
 
Thanks again for your help. Always assumed balanced required two connections coming out, I learn something new everyday.

90 to 90 switchcraft's with Black mogami and clear techflex

Why do you cover up that lovely silver body with ugly heat shrink?

 

[lozanoa11]

It was requested that way. Made if for some one. I like the black ones better but they are more expensive.

Any tips on soldering the Pailiccs mini?

hi, i dont't know if it's the right thead but i have UE triplefi 10 earphones and the jack now is broken. i have a 3.5mm neutrik plug but actually i don't know exactly how to solder the cable. any suggestion?

 

[Kibble Fat]

Snip the old plug off with about 1/2" of cable still attached.  Check each wire sticking out of the old plug for continuity with each tip, ring, and sleeve contact (using a multi-meter).  That tells you what color wire goes to which solder tab in the plug.  Does that make sense?
 
On small cables (such as those for IEMs) it helps to add thickness to the cable with heatshrink in order to make the Neutrik's strain releif clamp work effectively.

Here's an excellent resource: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/50729/how-to-make-an-interconnect-step-by-step-with-pics
 
It's for interconnects, but it will give you a good feel for mini plugs.

Some very nice cables posted here. Gives me some ideas for a build of my own.

My all new coax cable (needed a new one). Blue for all my coax applications but this time with a silver sleeving for a little more bling.
 

 
Also made this lod which works with a regular iPod but not with my iTouch. I must have done something wrong with the resistor. To anyone reading this and who has a clue what I did wrong, please enlighten me. I bridged 11 and 15 and soldered a 68kohm resistor from that to pin 21.

I make LODs sans the resistor and pin 21 and it works fine with a Touch 3G.. Don't know what that'd do to the sound, though.
