Forget the cables. I want to see his Pioneer Spec system. Can't tell you how much I drooled over those components back when I was a teenager.

They had electronics when you were a teenager!?! 

 
Cheers!

Is that what they were called? I must have been too busy hanging out down at the buggy whip factory to notice.

Thanks Steve for the great cable.  Just got my red Q cable for my LCD-X's.  Sounds great and the workmanship is top notch.  Red Q + black LCD-X = Beautiful!  I am shocked how much easier the ergonomics of the Q compared to the stock cable.  Now I need to figure out the length I need to comfortably sit my arse on the coach and use the LCD-X with my home theater setup.

Got any pictures? Sounds like you need to break out the measuring tape!

Yes please send us some pictures.  I have RED and love how they look.  X2 on the ergonomics of the cable.  Just easy to move with them.

Wow thats funky, what kind of thread is that?! That would go great with some custom painted HD-800's.

 

[Steve Eddy]

You're quite welcome, Pal!

Goldendarko, the thread is silk. But the whole idea of making something like that goes back to when we were using cotton.

I got it in my head one day to make the ugliest cable I could. The idea I originally had in mind was that foam carpet padding. You know the stuff that's made of pieces of different colored chunks of foam? So just for Schiits and giggles, I called up our braiders, told them to grab 16 different colors of thread at random, throw it on the braiding machine at random and braid me up about 50 feet of it.

However when it arrived, I found that it really didn't look so bad. Looked rather nice in an odd sort of way. Anyway, I posted a photo of it somewhere (or maybe someone posted a photo of it they'd got from me, I don't remember) and the next thing I know, I get an email from Pal here asking me if I would make him a cable out of it. I never expected such a thing but he was serious. So I made him a cable with it.

Fast forward to a month or two ago or so and I get an email form Pal. He said there was some litz wire poking out of his cable and could I fix it for him (this is a problem we'd experienced occasionally with the cotton braid and the smaller litz wire). The litz was poking out at the Y split and didn't lend itself to an easy fix. I decide I'd send him a warranty replacement, however I didn't have any more of that braid and I didn't want to do another one in cotton as I didn't want the same problem to occur. So I matched the colors used for the cotton cable as closely as I could to the silk thread and made him a silk replacement.

Steve, your failure to make an ugly cable has turned into an incredibly unique cable for Pal

The detail in the close-up picture looks incredible, I think it would go great with some custom painted headphones from ColorWare.

Cool!

just chiming in that I am a new and proud owner of these cables. went with black to match my setup.

never had a fancy cable before and went with q-audio cause theyre light and good looking. earrings are smaller than I expected and don't cause issues.

I'm very thankful for Steve's flexibility and patiences with all my questions. would recommend to anyone.
