And My little Rammstein tribute, a 3-wire braided mini to mini ic in red, black and gold:

How are those Pallics connectors to work with. I've been curious. Innards pretty well designed?

They're horrid to work with, the innards are laid out much like the Ultrasone connectors from Qables and there's no strain relief at all. But they look soooo damn good! 

 
They're surprisingly heavy for their size as well, I might have to make an IEM cable for my customs with one of these bad boys...

These Pailiccs are really pain in the ass to solder with 4 strands of 24AWG or thicker and without strain relief they are not as durable as other Pailiccs jacks. Im not a big fan of their looks too. Only benefit is their price.

Well I like the looks as well as the price - but that's about it.

Why'd you get a chuckle out of it? I have one at my work, and he said everything as if i was going to sell mine. I would have to be dead if i was going to sell mine.

Very nicely done.  Can you please explain to me the capacitors function in this? Sorry I'm not familiar with the iMod.

 

I haven't done the imod but from what I've heard it is to stop DC offset, though i have no clue why you would want to use 4uf electrolytic caps in the signal path. Crossovers for tweeters regularly use 2.2uf caps... as in he is basically turning his IEM's(or whatever) into tweeters. Also electrolytic caps are absolutely bad for audio fidelity. I've seen people use 2200uf caps for their iMods... AAAAHHHHHHHH
Sorry, if it sounds good to you, go ahead.

Now, Is the barrel grey or black? I can never tell from the pictures!!! and where do you get yours and for how much. I've seen a ebay seller selling 4 out of HK for $15.

Steel grey metallic colored barrel.

Correct - like a dark gunmetal, but very shiny. Looks awesome IRL.

I've purchased them from that ebay seller and the Pailic 3.5 mm plug does look nice in person.  A shiny dark gray/gunmetall color, but there is definitely no strain relief and the solder contacts are pretty difficult to work with as well.

You guys pay way to much.  I got mine from Lunashop. Enjoy! They have very good price and selection.
