First time making a diy cable
Anybody have any tips in regards to braiding? I had a hell of a time keeping them spaced/tightened equally
10' Extension Cable. I've not made a cable in awhile and I can't see as good as I used to up close, so, it was a little harder to do. I tried a naked cable this time too. I've seen others do this and decided I liked the look.
Amphenol Right Angle TRS Plug w/ Neutrik Locking Jack. The one thing I liked about the Amphenol Plug was the little holes that held the wire inplace while I soldered each of them. It's a three piece plug so if it was handled a lot I'm not sure how well it would hold up. Not really a concern for me as it'll be plugged in and left alone.
Thanks for looking, Matt
I suppose if you wanted to take it one step further you could do build it up to USB spec and do a shield and twist pitch. Looks nice for a low profile OTG cable.
Does anyone know of a good source for 24 awg stranded wire besides doublehelixcables/navships? Kinda looking for something thats flexible and that won't break the bank.
If not, would an 8 strand braid of 26 awg be thick/sturdy enough for full sized cans?

Guitar Center? Strip the outer sheath off of some Mogami W2534 and use the inner cores.
Oh that'd be good, guitar center is the only thing close to a physical audio shop we've got around here.
How are the ergonomics of the inner wires?
8 Conductor Hybrid Cable half Toxic Cables Scorpion, half BTG audio SPC..I found nylon sleeving a lot easier to work with than paracord, the sleeving fit over an 8 wire braid relatively easily..
