Re-cabled SA5000.  Made from some kind of 4 conductor mogami cable(provided by my friend) nylon multi-filament cover, switchcraft 4 pin mini xlr and after the y split I actually covered them with the original nylon cover from the SA5000 cable.  Fair amount of heat shrink as well and some hot glue...  The viablue ferrite core thing over the y split was also provided by my friend.  They're kind of heavy but seem to hold my heat shrink over the y splits fairly securely so whatever.

and another...

Why did you use a mini-xlr-plug?

Super Pro Tip :
 
Silde the nylon braid over the end of a pencil tip and apply heat :)
 
Adds a nice flair to end of the nylon.. It also helps stop it from sliding out of connector or heat shrink tubing..
 
You can also buy different size wooden dowels at HD or hardware stores and use a pencil sharpener the end to get the exact size round nylon end you want..

Will have to try this... as all my cables end up covered in Nylon Multi-Filament... lovely stuff!

Just made up a mess of the world's best digital cables, and the world's best power cable for sources

My latest recable, a pair of vintage Zenith 839-50's:
 

 

 








Entirely sleeved in nylon, made a new strain relief, put on a pair of modded AKG pads, damped the insides a bit with some blue tak (didn't have dynamat handy). Used my staple: Mogami 2893.

Thought I might show some pics of my flat foil speaker cables ....  They are the best I have ever heard ... Even better than my pair of Tara Labs The One speaker cables

What is it made of ?   Natural unbleached cotton dielectric, soft teflon damping material, solid silver spades, and a whole lotta love !
BTW, Just what are those lumps under the heat shrink ???
