Yea. I had the splitter too but won't fit since the 2 wires are about 5mm wide together

Nice, well it looks great regardless

Here is my first headphone cable. I used an Amphenol Jumbo TRS connector and Monoprice 18 AWG OFC speaker wire. I wasn't planning to do bare wire but my practice braid looked so good I decided to do a naked cable first. Next cable I will make will have some braiding and hopefully a Y splitter that can accommodate 18 AWG wire.

Recabled a pair of SoundMAGIC PL50's with some Van Damme starquad (i'm running out of cable now)

I made few cables for my friends and family but not much for me so it was about time to make it right so I made a nice extension between my Beyers DT831 and Xonar Essence STX. It is made of Tasker TSK1034 cable and Neutrik NP2X-B + NJ3FC6-BAG connectors.


After shopping :)


Finished work


Today's upgrade with ELECAUDIO DF-03 sleeve from Audiophonics. I hope I will never have to dissasembly that cable again...

Link to the copper wire?

I'm going out on a limb here, but I'd guess this for the copper
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Ice-crystal-insulated-litz-7NOCC-133core-OD-1-25mm/32646889484.html
or
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/HAK...le-19-core-OD-0-7mm-price-is/32690141185.html

and this for the gold:

although this is 6N OCC. It looks like the stuff.

I could be way off though. I like to speculate :)

Does anyone know if that brand is trust-worthy in it's OCC quality? I'm interested in picking some up if they are.

So I decided to try these little Y splitters from ebay:

They are very inexpensive, and only took about a week to arrive. They are also pretty small. I wanted to use one for the red and black cable I made recently (see a few posts back). Unfortunately the little holes were just small enough that they scrapped the wire insolation off as I moved it down the cable! So, I unbraided the section between the Y and the tips and was able to feed the 4 wires into each hole. I then rebraided. Fun! I think it turned out pretty well.

I'm still waiting for the tips to arrive, then I can terminate it properly.

Did you use a glue to stabilize the Y splitter?

I did. I was worried about the splitter rubbing through the wire islulation.
