Nicely done, single entry cans make our jobs easier when recabling by hiding the split.
Balanced cable for Oppo PM-3
I made up a balanced cable using Canare L-4E5C microphone cable and the special "extended" TRRS plug from EIDOLIC (sourced from Double Helix Cables)...

On my "balanced" CEntrance M8 I could not hear any difference between the Oppo stock cable (the straight TRS one) and the Canare 4-Pin XLR.
Other fully balanced amps may be an improvement... anyone able to comment?
... How flush does the flat base of the 3.5mm TRRS fit against the cup of the PM-3? After getting the PM-3 3 days ago I'm sure the Eidolic with the extended part will fit into the recessed socket, but I'm hoping the base of the barrel fits nearly flush as to give it a nice look.
Not quite flush, but not really noticeable.
Redid my MMCX cable, with Mogami W2893 internal wires sleeved with 95 paracord.
i cannot for the life of me keep stranded wires twisted in pairs no matter how tight i twist. they have zero memory effect and would simply unravel. I would like to know how you guys are able to keep them in twisted pairs even after sleeving with paracord! because i wasn't able to keep my wires twisted i ended up just sleeving them in straight parallel pairs
To add upon what was already said, i personally use a cordless drill to do the twisting for me but be sure to use a variable speed drill or you will find yourself over twisting and knotting up your wire!In my case, I overtwist the wires, since they will naturally untwist over time. Twist the wires more than needed, and solder on the connectors while the wires are kept twisted. The connectors should prevent most untwisting.
