It's really the static charge buildup in the dryer that can lead to interference. However, for your purposes, I think you can avoid having to indulge in exotic cables -- just attach a drain wire from the dryer chassis and earth it on some copper pipe, and then kick it old school with some Mantronix or Jungle Brothers to blow the dust out.

Super secret fact: ERS paper is really this.
 
It keeps your equipment fresh, and as a bonus will stop mice and other rodents from chewing your cables.

Mogami 2893 and strip the outer jacket and copper shield beneath the jacket.  Sleeve the cable with paracord (550-lb. Type III) or a shoe lace.

Paracord is on eBay and other places online.  Get the Mogami cable wherever you can get it at the best price for you.  Google Search is your best friend.

That wire seems to have a solid conductor, you want stranded conductors.  Solid ones are to too stiff and delicate and will not last as portable cables or headphone cables compared to stranded conductors.
 
That sleeving should do if you want to sleeve each twisted pair in its own sleeve.  Paracord if you want the whole cable in one sleeve.  I used a combination of two different size sleevings for my T50p headphone that I recabled with 2893.

I've worked with some of that, but haven't used any (yet, it's going to be the cable for my Grado mod, I think).
 
Sleeving depends greatly on how you want it to look.  I prefer the 4 wire braid look myself, so if I sleeve it I would want to sleeve each core individually.  For that, 550 cord would be too big.  I'd use Type 1 Accessory Cord instead.
 
The problem with that is that it's really hard to keep from snagging.  I've read (though haven't tried yet) that a small dab of hot glue on the end of the wire will help keep it from snagging as you're threading it through the connector.

I just finished making an upgrade cable for my HD580's out of 26 AWG 7N cryo treated UP OCC Copper stranded wire and it really trimmed off the top end and brought out the bass and mids. That wasnt what I was going for at all :frowning2: I like my music bright with decent bass that dont drown out the mids. What wire should I use for my next cable to get those results?

The same, just paint it pink and everything will be alright.
