I drive past their headquarters every once in a while. I keep meaning to just drop by and shake someone's hand. 
 
Actually, that's true for Shure as well... maybe they'll let me demo the new open cans?

Just been chatting to Frank of Toxic Cables about the imminent arrival of his 26awg OCC copper and SPC. He will also be offering both of these in a translucent black insulation as well as the clear one.
 
He also mentioned the possibility of producing some in translucent red or trans blue insulation if there is any interest. I guess if you are interested in either of those the best thing to do is either email him via the Toxic Cables website, or send a PM to Kabelmeister.

Just found these on ebay if anyone needs some westone style female sockets for a project:

Finally reterminated my old K702 cable with a new mini xlr plug. Went from Neutrik to Switchcraft - allot easier to work with, and looks much better!
Cable is a Canare mini starquad, gold plated neutrik jack & switchcraft mini xlr.

Has anyone here recabled a DT770 pro 80 and did it make much difference...cable seems fairly thick and of decent quality so not sure if it will be worth it...
 
Cheers

Very nice, it looks really professional. Is that Viablue shielding?

Thanks. It's pretty steep priced though. You can buy 5 pairs from Plastic1 for $68 for me however overseas shipping is a killer.

Oredered all my parts to break my DIY cabling cherry............. Decided to make a 1m kimber tcss cable for my akg 141's.  Reading the threads (and phoning russ andrews) confirmed I was better using four lengths of wire and twisting them as pairs.  
 
I have ordered rean mini xlr and 3.5mm connectors.  Midfield trying to find mini xlrs tho!
 
look forward to posting some pics when it is done.

Cool, don't really wanna drop any more dollar if I help it tho.  Running low now

I've used a lighter a couple times. It does the job when you haven't got much heatshrink to work. But you have to do it carefully since it's easy to heat the wrap until it's brittle, or melt the wire insulation, or leave scorch marks.

Hair dryer.

 

[hdufour]

Heat gun.  Hair dryer in a pinch....works better than a lighter IMHO
