Many thanks!

Edit: forgot to put the info about the cable above: 3 feet long, 2 blue/2 green silver coated stranded copper, litz braided, black 1/8" techflex, Switchcraft connectors.

Where did you get that wire/what gauge is it. I was thinking of getting some 26-28 AWG silver plated copper from navships on eBay.

Got it from Navships. I believe the blue is 24 AWG and the green is 26 AWG. 28 AWG gets a little thin for me to work with.

Alright, thanks! I think I might end up buying some 26 AWG, it seems to be fairly versatile.

Here's a 3.5mm mini -> 2 mono 1/4th cable. It's blue Canare StarQuad covered in blue 1/8th TechFlex, with various amounts and sizes of heatshrink (sorry for the crappy picture, I need to learn how to take indoor low-light shots)

Here's a Mini -> Mini cable, orange StarQuad, 1/8th black TechFlex, Neutrik Mini Connectors.

Yet another crappy photo, oh well.

Canare GS-6 Instrument cable (really nice stuff to work with), 1/4th" Black /w Beige TechFlex, Neutrik RCA connectors

The total time it took to make these was about 30 minutes.

Very nice, hembergler. I like the black/beige flex.

Me too

I'm going to have to get some more 1/4th TechFlex, I like it a lot more than 1/8th, even though it doesn't give as tight a fit. It's just easier to work with.

I also have been attempting to make an iPod Dock Connector. I was worried that I would mess up one of them, so I ordered 2. Well, I completely wrecked both.

I accidentally pulled out too many pins in one of the connectors, so I moved onto the second one. This one, I seemed to get right. I buttoned the thing up, and then I realized I counted the pins wrong. I thought it was like the DSUB connector where it goes

1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 10

But rather it goes...

1 3 5 7 9
2 4 6 8 10

I opened it up, and in a vain attempt to get the connector out, I forgot I had hot glued it in. And trying to get rid of the glue, resulted in melting through some of the plastic on the case anyway.

Onto the 2nd connector. I somehow managed to get the pins into the connector again, this time in the right order. I somehow managed to solder onto them, despite the fact that the extended parts of the pins had broken off. I hot glued everything as much as I possibly could. I picked it up after the glue dried, and soldered connections just broke, and the hot glue had apparently not hardened enough yet.

Bleh, I just needed to rant a bit, I have a new found respect for Turbo who can just crank these things out.

Edit: oh yeah... and I hate Canare mini's....

My first work

3.5mm Cardas cable with 200ohm resistor

25cm Mogami interconnect.... sounds great! (the white one)

I saw nothing but Chord DAC 64 & Cardas golden reference

[hembergler]

I whipped up another pair of interconnects simply because I was bored.

Pretty much the same specs as before,

Canare GS-6
Neutrik RCAs
Blue 1/8th TechFlex

I am just starting my first cable mod, mainly because I'm modding a piece of audio equipment that I want to have nice cables on.
I've decided to use 9mm Lok's for the phono plugs as I think they look quite pro. And an 8.5mm audio grade coaxial cable. Now I just need some braiding to finish it off. Can anyone tell my what kind of braid this is, as I'm finding it hard, especially on UK sites to find such nice looking braid:

The type would be good, a product name better, but if any of you can point me in the direction of an online retailer who sells that stuff that would be great!!!

Thanks for any help you can give.
