Refreshed a pair of Denon AH-D7000's. The cable was in a sorry state, tangled with the outer sheath coming off.

Used the usual Van Damme mini starquad, took all the outer sheathing off and braided then covered with paracord.

Where the hell does one get a y connector of sorts and a 4pin balanced connector? In UK?

Better place for this question would be the other thread though - http://www.head-fi.org/t/676402/diy-cable-questions-and-comments-thread

Oh sorry.

@Whitigir Awesome that your cable is multicolor!

Believe it or not, I actually didn’t want that, it is just the way that it comes, and my son loves it a lot LOL!

My first braided cable.
Balanced pure silver T2 litze for Denon D7200. 2.5mm TRRS - 2 x 3.5mm TS
Thanks to Ted Allen from Headphonelounge for this incredible wire and his support!
Best cable I have heard so far!
I have the feeling that this is endgame. Can not imagine that anything can beat this.

Had a spare Neutrik Female XLR 4-pin connector and decided to make a 4-pin xlr to 2.5mm balanced converter to go along with my braided paracord cable I made a couple months back.

Noticed a few posts back some talk of using lathes and pen blanks for splitters, I made my splitter on a small wood turning lathe using some resin and mica pigments using essentially the same technique as casting a pen blank. I have dabbled a bit with resin casting in the past. This one uses two colours red and black plus a dash of pearlescent mica this gives a depth and shimmer to the solid colours the pearl also gives the red an orange hint from certain angles.

My first full diy cable a simple affair to replace my perished hd800 cable.

What covers the left an right (red) is it just heatshrink? I would love to make my own cable but not sure where to source cables.

Yes just heat shrink

Heat shrink tubing that will help maintain the twists as the cable gets bent.

So what would be an easy cable to start with and specs for say an Audeze or sennheiser etc.

How does one get the paracord on?

I believe this thread is more for showing off cables. For questions on building them, this thread would be more appropriate:
