You can get it directly from Jena Labs for $5.00 a foot (25 foot minimum).

Jena Labs Ultrawire

Yup.

For a $500 lot charge, you could probably have New England Wire do a 1,000 foot run of essentially the same wire.

I made some RCA interconnects.

Just some basic plugs on some blue starquad and neon green techflex

May I ask where did you get your cotton sleeves at? All I can find is natural colored (which I could dye if need be). I looked at both wirecare and vt4c and figured I would settle on nylon multifilament or cotton (and just dye it on my own)

Thanks for any help. Nice cables by the way. Actually a lot of fine cables in this thread. Over the past month or so I have looked through like 50 pages when bored.

Thanks in advance

not to mention you can avoid putting cash in the pockets of those who destroy R10's

And to make sure this stays a GALLERY thread, here is my finest mini to mini to date:

4x6" of 24awg 6N OCC silver in teflon tubes (round litz braid)
natural teflon techflex
yarbo mini's

This is probably the last mini to mini I will make for myself, as my desktop setup is being converted to all RCA connections, and I listen to music straight out of my Clip+ (at least I did before it shorted out or something a couple hours ago).

Anyone experimented making ribbon wires?

Yes, I have, see post #3177. These were made for speakers using 50-conductor flatcable. I used IDC connectors to conveniently terminate the ribbon. I'm not 100% happy with that result, but the alternative (stripping 100 wires per cable) isn't attractive either. They sound pretty good, though. I found noticeable improvement in the low end.

I have it custom made.

Were you wanting something of the same size I used for the I/V cables? If so, what color were you wanting?
