That's good to know. I'm thinking of making silver interconnects for my next (2nd) cable attempt. First one was quite succesful despite crappy build materials (cat5 cable, radioshack plugs, ace hardware heatshrink) but it was a good experience and managed to make the cable work without too much difficulty.

Planning on using it for my portable and with right angled plugs so the strain is not too much when I place the whole system in my pocket...

Nice one Hembergler! As usual the braid on your cable is absolutely gorgeous. How's the sound with the copper/silver hybrid?


Thanks for the compliment

To be quite honest, I don't really hear a difference in cables. I've done some testing, and I've never found a big enough difference for me to believe that what I was hearing is not psychological. I also compared some Canare RCA interconnects to the silver ones I made some time ago, and even then I wasn't convinced I heard a difference. I just like having something to use my soldering iron for.

Awesome looking cables, cantsleep. Would you mind telling me what kind of cables you used?

It isn't so expensive if you know where to look

it was, at least for the clear teflon ones. but there are some good deals on silver wires, even the clear teflon ones, at hga. (they only had a deal on white teflon ones which were somewhat.. not so appealing, in terms of looks)

you should give it a try, too.

I bought them from a privat dealer here in Finland. They are manufactured by Acme.

As a sidenote, this cable is incredibly durable. For a test, I pulled as hard as I could on either end, and nothing budged: no broken solder joints, no dislocated braid, nothing. I might have to model my future minis after this one.

Hey, nice cable. Another asked, but do you think that the solid core silver would work in a mobile app? I would like to use it, but i dont want the cable to snap. If you could do some testing and let me know that would be great. Thanks.
