Tightest braid I've seen. How did you get the 2 pairs of wires to stay that way?

 
If you twist/braid the wires as tight as possible, the wires won't untangle by themselves. You can also "clip" the end wires with something just to be sure.

Had the XB300 (which I hated), how does the XB700 sound with the Cable swap?  

Well since he brought the phones to me broken from y-split down.. idk. i ported the drivers and slightly covered the bass ports on the outside of the cups.

Andron, Great job on the cable, like how you have only sleeved past the Y split.

Thanks!

I recently had a DIY cable made by Brian at BTG audio. The price for the cable was very reasonable and I went through with ordering the cable which I installed myself. Here are the pictures of it:

8-wire braid, nice. Part from spliter to jack looks awesome

First cable I've ever made, it was harder to make than I thought it would be.

A couple more cables I've made recently; one for my Triple Fi 10s with ViaBlue connector and plugs I got off ebay (appear to be identical to ones offered at Lunashops):

 
And a cable I made to go along with a pair of SE215s I'm giving as a gift with Oyaide jack and plugs from Lunahsops:

 

[AnAnalogSpirit]

Long time Lurker, thought I'd finally post something worth looking at:
 
 
   
 
A pair of Sennheiser HD 202's, modded with a detachable cable mod for dual mono jacks, and a DIY cable made with some OFC cable with XLPE insulation from BTG Audio. Have to agree with tdunks, Brian's cable is economical and both good quality and easy to work with. I did a 4-wire round braid for the first time, and boy did I have a time of it on one of those Kumihimo Looms (the foam octagon type, not wooden) for round braids. For plugs I used Rean nickel mono plugs, and a Vintage Audio Lab Rhodium stereo plug.
 
I've also braided a flat four-wire braid that is non-detachable using some of Frank (Toxic Cables) OCC wire. When I have some pictures I will put those up also.

My oh my. That's an expensive cable for those Senn's! haha. Looks good.
 
I like the removable cable mod.

Very slight update to my Toxic silver TF10 cable... Probably not worth posting, but when you obsess over the detail ( thats where the devil is after all ) of something it seems like a big change - to me at least.
 
I was never really happy with the original gold coloured connectors on I put on:

 
So, I took them off, put them in my Dremel and sanded the plating off till they were (mostly) bare aluminium, then modded the original lunashops TF10 pins till they worked:

 
So now I have lovely flush fitting connectors that are in keeping with the general colour theme. Maybe I need to get out more....

Seriously looks fantastic modded!

 Thank you
 
I am much happier with the look now.

This question must have been answered in one of the 10.000.000. pages of this topic, but here it goes anyway:
 
- what cable is the tranlucid one, that are you guys using for dyi stuff (on this page for example)?

There is no light blue sheen on any of my wire, apart from the translucent blue wire, have you by any chance handled my wire to know how thick my insulation is compared to yours.
What gauge is you wire, and what is the O/D of the insulation.

OH SNAP!

What do u guys use for the ear hooks? Thinking of building an IEM cable..

 

[kenman345]

Lots of people use jewelry wire (or some type of stiff but bendable wire in the same type of flexibility as a paper clip, but straightened from the start and more durable) then some heat shrink over it. It'll allow you to bend the ear hooks once the cable is done and being use, and they stay that way. It's how my stock cable is built as well as some of my Chris_Himself Silver Ray cables.
