I think its mostly selling placebo with 3k cables. A cable that costs that much should be a 300% improvement over "stock" usb cord. But even in theory that's not possible, you must be out of your mind to pay 3k more to get a possible >5% improvement. You're much better off investing in other equipment.

On the one hand, I am not a cable believer (other than getting the basics of shielding in there). On the other hand, I don't mind paying a little extra for something well made that looks nice, especially if I know how much work went into it (assuming it was actually hand made and not just something generic and sleeved afterwards). Getting into the high three digit or four digit figures though... man that's a couple mortage payments right there.

Looks amazing! How do you like the memory wire vs just bare cable?

my diy LOD (mundorf gold&silver) for my Imod + protector:
 

 

 

[blackmoly]

cable adaptors for the protector's balanced and single ended output using mini xlrs
 

 

 
some of my interconnects and lods using mundorfs, Xlo pro, denko cables
 

 
my diy custom cable (diy sockets)

I installed the caps inside the 60gig ipod video.
 

 
I use a 47uf NX black gate:
 

 
it would fit with no problems.

It's better just to use 3/1 or 4/1 as it's then about 3 times thicker then normal ones.

I use 2:1, often off of the bay since it pops up now and then at 20-40 feet for ~$5.  1/4 isn't that thick.

Guys I need jack iphone ready. Do you know of any?

 

[Mad Max]

I've seen some for $1 off of fleabay.  2.5mm or 3.5mm, whichever you need, plug adapter or cable adapter.  Is that what you meant?

I meant something better than $1 jack, something neutrik-like. Also I'm rather interested in DIY plug than adapters.
