Work in progress.
 
Using it hook up my Planars to the Emotiva a-100. 
8-braid to 2 quad-braids and then finally split into pairs for the banana plugs. The jack is a Neutrik locking 1/4". 
All 3 Y-splits are going to be replaced as well as the 1/4" connector. Didn't wanna wait until the woodwork is done to listen, so I threw this together real fast.

I'll enjoy the best manufacture cables at $0.50-2.50 per foot.

 
So you don't think there's any difference between say the silver dragon cable ($18/foot) and cable which is $2.50/foot?
 
Also where does one get 1/4" paracord? I've only seen it at 1/8" so far.

Hm, 1/4" paracord is probably getting into Type IV territory, but I think that measures closer to 3/16". For more than that, you may have to find an alternative to paracord.
 
If Type IV does work, you'll probably be a little limited in colours, as it's nowhere near as widely used as Type III (550) or Type I (Accessory). Hope you like green and black.

The types of paracord don't correlate perfectly to size - they have to do with specifications and construction (number of cores, lbs of tension, etc).  Basically, if you can't use Type I or Type III, you will probably need to used normal nylon multifilament.

I really have to replace the stock cable for my new LCD-2's - any tips and ideas to what cable I should use?
The stock one is flat and way to stiff, I want something smoother. Was thinking of maybe do a braid with some nice Paracords, but what actual cable should I get? 
 
It wouldn't hurt if it where available in the EU either, but it's not absolutely necessary

I would say that it depends on how much you would like to spend.

Any of you guys know what tool is used to remove the screws on the Amperior for recable?
Not regular hex keys for sure.

What is the thickest wire you would use for a headphone cable?

Yeah one costs $18 a foot and the other $2.5 a foot. There's a lot of variety on the market for professional cables and a few in the boutique market.
 
 
Well the wonderful TechFlex company makes nylon sleeving in a multitude of size, however that is limited to black with current production though I have found a few colors such as copper and silver on e-bay in a couple of sizes.
 
I really like 1/4" Techflex over Canare L-4E6S for interconnects and extensions.

Why stop there? We've got some 8/5 at the shop, maybe some 4/0 would be more apt.

 

[TrollDragon]

I just thought he could go balanced with 10/3 and still keep the flexibility of a head prop if needed.

I've stripped 4/0 for the copper many years back... Little foot long pieces. Much fun!

Well, I think this is my last cable for awhile.  i took some inspiration from Fraggler's infamous Burgundy Sennheiser cable, and made one of my own for my HD650s.  The construction consists of the usual suspects: Mogami 2893 sleeved with #1 paracord.  The cable is 12 feet long, and was a bear to braid evenly!

Looks sexy.
What 1/4 plug did you use?
