Thanks for the kind words everyone.

Wow. Looks great. I have never worked with the switchcrafts but they look like they are built like tanks. I'm kinda new to all these cable builds. Can I ask what is the benefit of using two different cables for signal and ground?
 
 

There is no benefit at all, I only had a metre of the Cardas left.

That's one heck of a beautiful cable! Where did you get the silk sleeve?

 
The sleeving (2.5mm inner dia.) is from Partsconnexion at $2.60 a foot.

That looks awesome.  I think gold-plated RCAs would have been better in order to match the mini plug.
 

I agree, didn't realize that gold ones were available at the time - shall have to upgrade!

being silly more than anything - my buddy coolbean is about to recable his grados, so while we are waiting on paracord and OF-Cu, he decided to put the cable from a set of iems i had on there...
 
this is the result - per his ear-dyno, the mids are recessed, bass is more present, clarity is untouched
 
will post up pics of the real recable once it's complete

Here are my Ultrasone Edition 9 that I have modified using a neutrik female 3.5 mm plug. I didn't like the sight of cables coming out of the cups, so I opted for this "cleaner" look. Now I have the liberty of using many of my cables with these cans.

The wiring on these Denon's is boss.

'Bout the only ones I've seen are the Kobiconn jacks you can get a number of places such as Mouser.
