Got it, thanks 
 
Forgot to ask, if I want to make a 5 foot cable, and I'm going to do a 3 wire braid, how long should I cut? 

Hmm.  Hard to say.  I always cut a little longer than I think it will be since you can always shorten it.  A foot extra is probably too much extra, but you can start with that and adjust accordingly to the next wires.

5 1/2 feet is is
 
Also, the shielding won't burn if I put a lighter to it?

Pretty happy with my new walkaround cord.

neutrik black plugs
black paracord
24AWG silver wires.

Sounds great and I finally have something the right length for me. Now I just gotta mod those Grados,

Any wire strippers you guys recommend that goes up to 26 awg.

If you're serious about cable strippers that don't nick the wire.

They're good to Mil-spec, and NASA specifications.

Can someone tell me what sort of techflex is used on these headphones? It has a softer, more cottony look to it, whereas most of the ones I see for order look plasticky. Just wanna make sure I order the right stuff.

What does the .23" mean?
 
That'll take a couple weeks for me to get the money for, gotta do a lot of chores:/.

It's the decimal diameter of the conductor(s). You'll need to cross-reference decimal to AWG in order to find the strippers you'd need.
 
Honestly for most work and if you're a little careful a $10-20 pair of adjustable strippers can be dialed in to produce excellent results.

It didn't see mto work with the one I got today I'm looking for one for 26 AWG wire.

You'll need one for small wires like data and control, not sure if most local places will carry those. I think the orange store has  Klien strippers that go to 32 gauge or close.
