Nice job, and I have to agree, their strain relief is superbly implemented, especially on those XLRs.

Standard 3-pin XLR balanced interconnects with Mogami star quad and Neutrik connectors.
 
Neutrik's cable strain relief is a thing of beauty.
 

 
Lovely job luke, you've done a great job with the metal casings on the connectors and the amber looks great in contrast to the silver braiding.

a larger dia. cable will not hurt your equipment, it will only make the signal stronger and cleaner. length will take away from quality so you want em the length you need them to be and no longer than that.(shorter the better) My home stereo is fairly powerful and my speakers(B&W801) are bi-wired so there are 2 speaker cables(Kimber) to each speaker, and each cable is 28mm thick. So there are 2 28mm thick cables to each speaker. thats pretty big. they are absolutley awesome though. The price is a different story(guilt)

If you need (or would prefer) more flexibility save for the Toxic, it's silky soft!

Nah don't care how flexible it is just SQ, is there a big difference between the 2?

Thanks for your help!

Mini starquad.  I love my blue 4E5C from markertek. not too heavy, not too bad on microphonics (unless you strip the outer jacket off).  I did my HD650s and DT770's with it and worked out really well.

I dunno... I used Mogami 2534 (DIY), Furutech and Toxic Wires on my TF10 and I can hear differences between all of the wires.  In preference from Best to worst...
1. Toxic Wires
2. Furutech
3. Stock
4. Mogami 2534.
 
Now this is with the TF10, as I've used the Mogami 2534 for most my other projects and it's sounded fine.  To me, cables are cables are cables doesn't always fly.  It's tap water vs Poland Spring water.  They're all wet and quench your thirst, but it's what Poland Spring has taken out of the water that makes it taste better... hence lots of people buy filters for their tap water (I do.. I don't like my tap water... others seem to be ok).
 
So, I'm not a HARDCORE believe in cables, but I have heard a difference.... or have convinced myself that I have (and I've had other people listen to the cables... and I don't tell them brands or cost... and they seem to pick similarly for the most part).
 
I think the best part of cables, is the DIY part and making it much more compliant and looking better than factory (guess I like dressed up cables).

Thanks dude. Im listening right now, and the cable has really transformed the TF10's into something great! No more recessed mids. They are a different beast now.
