You probably wired the drivers out of phase. That means that one of the drivers is wired correctly and the other one is wired backwards - the ground lead goes where the hot lead should go.

haha that is some complicated jargon.. sorry, it is my first time doing this 

i think it may be the left driver that is wired wrongly, it sounds abit off..
 
 
--edit--
I rewired the left driver and it sounds perfect now~~

  coincidently i've been playing with a silicone cable for a few weeks
its neat stuff abit hard to finish cleanly.. no y split needed
not microphonic at all but this is a completely different setup
 

How are you liking this cable? Tempted to try and work with it.

i like it , its lightweight,flexible and durable
been using it at work for a couple weeks
pretty good stuff, a bit tricky to work with and braid cleanly
i went a bit tighter than i should have, a looser braid would
probably work better

8 strand braid, silver plated 28awg 19 strand wire. Mini jumper for headphone amp. It took way too long to braid, but the results are incredible. I'm working on a 48" iem cable with this 8 strand braid into 4 strand round braid.

As you say, it took you some time but the results are nothing short of fantastic. Splendid job, may motivate me on a similar project.

Can anyone point me towards a good "how-to" thread to make something like this? This is pretty much exactly what I want to try to build for my first cables. I may be over thinking it, but I want to get it right the first time around

This is one of the better DIY threads I know of. You will learn a lot just looking through it or you can ask specific questions.

Welp, got all my parts ordered.
 
Oyaide Rhodium 3.5mm connectors, solid silver braided wire from Lavricables.com, some cable pants for the y-split, some 1/4" and 1/8" PET sheathing for the wire, and now all I have to do is sit and wait.
 
*starts twiddling thumbs*
 
I'll post pictures of during and after

I"m in page 1000! 
I came to find resources to make my own cable. and to be in page 1000

 

[Toolman]

Loving all the info and share....I'm pretty sure I will make my first very own cable before we reached the next 1000 pages

This thread, combined with the long backlog at Norne and Double Helix, have prompted me to order parts and attempt a DIY cable. Pics coming next week once everything comes in. 
 
Thanks for the photos and information everyone!
