Just finished this one. I just took a couple inches of solid core 22 gauge hookup wire and used that.

Yeah, I was afraid the wiring I was using wouldn't fit through the hole with the heatshrink on it, so I enlarged it a bit. Turns out I was right, I'm really happy with how it sounds. I'm not sure I'm going to need to make another one!

DIY A/V RCA Compression Connector Cables

Here's one of my more recent efforts.

It's a balanced HD650 cable made using Cardas Headphone cable, stock HD650 connectors and Neutrik XLR's. The cable was mainly built for meets so that I can sample both balanced and single-ended offerings. With that it mind I built the matching adapter so I don't have to swap cables mid-meet. Or I might just throw it on the 580s that I picked up the other day!

my 1st cable ever... all ratshack parts...

*ugliness defined:*

my very first IC with 100 ohm resistors, so it looks funny.

might look better if you put the resisters in the plug..

I'd like to but I couldn't really see where I would fit them. It seems like there's no room. Is there really a way to do that?

awptickes, I really like the flex you used on your "ugly" cables, what is it? And by the way they aren't that bad, and as long as they work, hey, no big deal, right?

Also: warrior05: How are those Yarbo RCA's from back on page 90? They look awesome. Has anyone else used these?

Long-time lurker, first time poster. Being a cable geek, I've really enjoyed seeing all the incredible, creative work being posted here. Just amazing and inspiring, folks!

I've been making ICs for a while and wanted to contribute my recently completed first "finished" speaker cables.

Home Depot 'HD-14' extension cord, one 3x14ga run per terminal, two runs per side in a light twist, into polished Furutech spades, covered by CleanCut FR Techflex and white heatshrink, individual runs covered in white/red heatshrink

I did two boring cables again (without any decorations). I need these for my tuner and DVD-player, but I will also make a comparison with my headphone rig to find out which one is better.

The plugs are same on both cables, Neutrik NYS 373. Not very nice plugs, but I guess I'll have to live with them. The blue cable is Tasker C208 (23AWG copper condutors), and the black cable is Cordial CSF 250 (20AWG tinned copper conductors).

hm... that switchcraft is big enough i think..
or..
maybe you can just put one each end; one in male plug and another one in female end..

 

[knalb]

hey, here's the second one. I managed to fit my resistors in the jack...it's not perfect but yay!!!

with 68 Ohm resistors

It's the black techflex from qables.com. My internet connection here in Nebraska is incredibly slow, so I'll have to spare you the product page link until a later date. 1/4 inch black trans-reflective tech-flex. It does look good. I like the look of the white/clear 1/8 inch they also sell, I put that on a copper mini-mini interconnect the other day, and I'm really happy with it. I'll have to put up some pictures later.
