Guarantee it solves the stiffness problem, and my paracord is sweet (black with flecks of blue that seem to spiral around). Even my wife was admiring it. Type 1 cord was just too small for two wires above the Y split, so I used the same as below the split. Looks better anyway, as it matches. I had no desire to twist or braid separate wires, though it does look nice in modulor's pix.
You could make it really supple below the Y split by removing the outer sheath, but I don't think it's necessary.
Damn well better solve the microphonics.
I think I need to rustle up some 1mm solder. All I've got is some rather thick schiit I bought at Radio $hack ages ago. The connectors are all really small. If, after sizing it all up tomorrow, what I've got looks too big, I'll hit the local hardware store, and failing that, Home Despot.
I'm wondering if the stock cable in paracord would help with the microphonics. I want to redo my half-assed first attempt.
Lord, for a second I thought you meant you wanted me to make you a cable
