Wasn't there a huge thread listing different 3.5mm plugs? Can't seem to find anything and I need a 3.5mm (1/8") with an outer dimension of no more than 7mm...


Three conductor or four conductor? If four conductor, Markertek sells one with an outside diameter of just a bit over 6mm.

Just go two of these today along with some other samples. These are WAY to small for my purposes so if there's anyone in the US that wants them, let me know and I'll drop 'em in the mail to you.

Ultrasones use a regular 3.5mm TRS for detachment.  Qables sells the right stuff, with threading and all.

Yeah, problem with those is that they're intended for a molded plug so they don't have a back shell. They're fine if you don't mind covering them with heatshrink.

Hey Steve, is the barrel smaller than the rean mini? (as in outer diameter)

Dammit - if only it had been TRS in stead of TRRS! :frowning2:
 

 
They could still work depending on where the ground contact in the jack makes contact with the plug. As long as it's not right smack in the middle of the insulation between the second ring and the sleeve, you're in good shape.

5 pin din to phono (click for larger pics)

 

 
The din plug is preh and the phono's are reused from a butchered qed cable. The cable it's self is klotz AC110.
Made to connect a graham slee solo to the tape out of a naim nac122x.

haven't posted any cables here in a while, so I thought I'd put up my newest lod.  My old one got crushed during a move, whoops...
 

 
Ridax lod connector, neutrik 1/8", silver plated copper in some clear tubing I have laying around.

Just finished my first DIY cable. Picked the easiest of a few planned recables (the 702) to start with. It's been a long time since I used a soldering iron. 
 
5 foot Blue Mogami 2893, carbon techflex, Neutrik 1/4 TRS, Switchcraft black mini-xlr. 
 

 

 
Much better length for my desk... and it just looks better on the 702 than the stringy/wimpy stock cable.

Was wondering the same thing..I've seen alot of people use techflex for interconnects, but not many use them for headphones because of the stiffness and microphonics

How are the microphonics of the Techflex?
