Went to buy some mini xlr plugs at the local hifi/mic store earlier and i showed them the picture on this thread and they actually had 4 of the female and one male left and they are actually gold plated also.
He said he will order few more in for me next week, i really like these ones.

Very nice, if i had a local supplier for Mini-XLR i would jump into this cable making club, its just to much to order a bunch of different things from random websites and people.

Now all i need to do is figure out how exactly to make the cable as i've never made a headphone cable before.

Good luck, should be a guide or thousand somewhere around here. To get you started off, do you have a soldering iron?

Thanks, i have one of those gas ones which you refill and can chage tips on, never soldered before though.

Should be very simple, just wrap the wire around the pin and solder a glob onto the wire wrapped pin, make sure to get the pin and wire hot and the solder should just go to it, solder has some weird properties that you will learn after your first few times. it looks like you didn't get wire or the other end(unless the mini xlr will be on both sides) so you can just cut the end off another connector, pull back the insulation and use that.

 Thanks for the advice, i bought some of that SPC wire from the ebay guy and some Viablue 1/4" jacks from Qables so will give my first cable a go in a couple of days and see how it turns out, i will use the cheaper rean mini xlr i paid £1.70 for first so i dont waste too much money if it goes wrong.
Thanks again.

Not meaning to derail, but where do you get the silicone or rubber bands people use to attach their iPods to their mobile amps? Are those vacuum cleaner drive belts in the photos?

I got mine from Amazon, branded by NuForce. I think a 4 pack ran about $5.

Very nice indeed. Would love to know how to build the moulded epoxy putty bodies. Any links on how to?
