I'm looking for a good braiding tutorial for 8 strands. Does anybody have a link to such a tutorial?

I also want to try kumihimo braiding with litz cables

Thank you all for your support, looks promising! Now i have to learn and practice...

And finally....a 4W 4N pure silver cable made this morning - definitely getting quicker and making fewer mistakes.

Just got a pair of sundaras and is in the process of making a 2.5mm balanced cable so I can use it on the Fiio K3. Does it matter which wire is negative/positive?

Does this look correct, or does the Right Positive (blue line) go to the tip as well (i.e. both rings are redundant?)

 

[imas69]

Your image is correct

 

[arksez]

Your image is correct

I've just done a multimeter test. The standard 3.5mm jacks both have continuity on the tip and sleeve, but none on the rings. Is this the supposed configuration for an unbalanced set-up? Or It's a tip and sleeve only connection for unbalanced/balanced modes?

Are you talking about 3.5 stereo or trrs

talking about the TRS 3.5mm cable that comes with it, the two 3.5mm headphone jacks that go into the L and R headphones seem to have redundant rings (no continuity).

If it's going into the earcups then that makes sense. You only need one positive and one ground per side.

Ok, thanks! I'll give it a go soldering and will report back here

Just be sure you've got the correct pin-out for whatever headphones you're working on.

Yep, just found this diagram which confirms it (I'm sure it's same for the 3.5mm)

and for the Fiio TRRS connector

Wish me luck!
