I can have it covered with cotton if you'd like.

That would be pretty snazzy, but likely outside my budget.

What size cable are people using here? 20AWG?

How 'bout the cost of postage?

This is something I've been meaning to have my braiders try for me but just haven't got 'round to it. This would give me a good excuse to finally do it.

Well, except for the cable, no way in hell I'm paying $5/ft for any sort of cable.

Wow, what a nice cable. Where did you purchase the splitter?

WOW, great job on the e2c's! Did you just heated the body up to get them apart or what?

Thanks. AV-Outlet carries a bunch of ViaBlue parts, and that's where I got the splitter. They aren't very economical, but they sure are purty.

x2. great job. I have a pair of e2c's that are not being used, and a recable seems like a great project to try. please do share your technique!

Well guys, my solution was pretty simple. I used the knife of my swiss card to open both plastic cases by gently cutting through the area where both plastic halves met. After that, i just used some CAT5e wires and soldered them on with the help of a tester. I then glued the plastic cases back together and gently filed the outer surface for a smoother texture because some of the rough edges were uncomfortable when the earphones were installed into my ears. That's basically it, and thanks for your comments because that's what keeps me going in the DIY area.

If it is like one of his past headphone cables, I think he sleeved his strands with multifilament and then braided those together in the standard litz. Kind of like this experiement I did with multifilament and cotton:

Hello everyone

I've subscribed to this thread for a long time now and checked back every time.
I've got some ordinary generic parts (I wish I had some nicer cables and plugs though

) and have need for a 'mini (male) to RCA (male) jacks' cable.
something like this (This pic comes from the 'DIY mini to RCA thread'):

I was wondering, how goes the braiding? Is it the same as from this site?
Chimera Labs Do it yourself - braiding Audio Cable

And what cables are what exactly? If you look at the step by step pictures of that site, are the outer cables the ground cables for both plugs? Do they only come together at the jack itself or can you join them sooner?

Thanks everyone
And a happy New Year for those that are a few hours earlier

Dries

that's using 6 wires not 4 you only really need 4 for a rca - mini idk why hes using 2x the grounds seems like extra work.
