I'm looking to make some RCA interconnecters. Would this guitar cable work well for me?

If not could someone suggest something off of ebay? or somewhere where I don't have to pay $7-10 shipping for 2 feet of wire?

If you have a Guitar Center near you, you can get the same cable for pretty cheap.  Plus, no shipping.

Hey, made my first diy cables today. Started up with re terminating my Koss Porta Pros, actually had to do that twice. Then made the short interconnect, and then a cable for my Shure SE215.
Wire I used is from toxic cables, silver plated copper.

I did a recabling of my Creative Aurvana Live. Not to improve the sound quality, but because I wanted the single cable entry like my DT770 and DT880 have. 
 
The end result:

I had some cable left over from making a back-up headphone cable so I made a set of interconnects. The cable is a Mogami with a white cover and I used black Techflex and a couple of Rean connectors. Certainly nothing fancy but I like the look of them. I used them to connect my EF5 amp to my sound card.

Made me regret for choosing the Black Canare over the White... I didn't know they would look so nice with black Techflex!!! Any colour combinations to suggest with my current black canare? ^^

I'm looking to recable my DT 990 Pros to have a straight cable and I need a bit of help. I'm either going to use Mogami 2534 or Canare L-4E6S and I don't think I want to use Techflex or anything like that, just bare cable (unless it has words printed on it). Does anyone have a link to a FULL recable/diy cable guide and/or know of where I can get Switchcraft 35HDBAU for cheap?

Can anyone recommend me a quality 3.5mm right angle jack that is small? I picked up some switchcrafts but even if I leave the barrwl off the end and cut the strain relief off they are bulky.

Also, a fast spot to order such suggested jack in the US? Im 3 weeks into a wait from lunashops. That just dosnt cut it for my cable making addiction.

The Neutrik right-angled plugs are pretty good. You can leave off the long barrel and seal the end with heat shrink and have a right-angled plug with a barrel that extends only a couple mm past the diameter of the base. Redco has decent prices on them; Markertek is cheaper but charges more for shipping when you aren't placing large orders.

The Mogami 2534 definitely has words printed on it. Every 12 inches, it says "NEGLEX 2534 MICROPHONE CABLE MOGAMI JAPAN" in white letters on my black cable.
 
Based on pics online, I think the Canare L-4E6S also has words

Very nice job. If you don't mind me asking, which plug, cable, and cover did you use?


Nothing fancy
