My first attempt at making my own IC

done on the cheap

cheapo maplin 3.5mm plugs
clear heatsrink and braid
some leftover cloth covered solid core wire from rewiring a elecy guitar

any one know where in the uk i can order some 3.5mm's that have a larger opening got some nice cable but its way to thick to fit any of the 3.5mm plugs i'v found here.

I started lurking this forum a while ago and built my first couple cables last week.

I used-

Neutrik NYS231BG 3.5mm
Neutrik RT3FC-B Tiny XLR
Canare L-4E5C Yellow
Canare L-4E6S Red

I found that the thicker cables are a bit harder to use with the connectors I chose. I have some Mogami W2534 I would like to try as well.

Overall building cables is fun and I would like to experiment more. Especially after I pick up an amp and maybe a DAC.

P.s. Made RCA-RCA cable for my sub.
Mini-coaxial (4mm, copper braided shielding), 1/8 techflex.


And short mains cable. Just stock cable, but shorted, techflexed and plug_changed (2$)

Thanks

Mogami 2534 braided
Nylon multi' sleeving
Yarbo 1/4 jack
Cardas Connectors
The Y-Split is the Canare Cable boots covered in adhesive heatshrink.
This is by far my favourite due to it being very lightweight. I have owned cardas cables in the past and I find them very anoying due to being not flexible and too heavy.
More HD650 cables I made;

Does anyone know of a source for different colors of Multi-filament Nylon sheathing? I'd like one in white. I was thinking of attempting to DYE mine, but I think the best I'd get is a muddy grey.

paracord

I will try those, is Paracord only available at an Army and Navy store?

Edit: I found Paracord, but it's about the size of 1/8th Nylon Multi-filament. Now, that's not bad... but I read that 1/8th is the size people use for Mogami W2893.... and I ask... HOW!? I have tried to get the Mogami in there for awhile... with NO luck. What's the trick?

OK ... I set out to find out for myself what kind of a difference, if any, could be made from a quality Sennheiser re-cable for my HD-580s.

Truth be told, I NEVER expected this drastic of a difference. I could go on talking about it, but unless someone heard it for themselves, my words would seem like lies.

I will simply leave it at this : I will humbly and respectfully put this DIY cable up against ANY Senn re-cable, regardless of price.

Wow Dean0 .... And here I was all proud of my home-made Y-splitter ... LOL

I didn't even know Via Blue made that part

Absolutely GREAT looking cables sir !
