Nice braiding job! And using a solderpot for litz isn't cheating....it's the only way to do it correctly IMO.

Thank you, it's not easy for me at all but it looks good 'n works.... Litz sucks, don't know why I'm addicted to it lol.

edit: In fact thinking about it now the larger cable is easier to braid for my buggered hands but just a ^$%#!!! to tin/solder etc due to such a enameled high strand count (maybe my exotic/precious metal solder mix makes life harder also, no idea...go figure smile).

You really want to show off your solder-fu?
Terminate that bugger with 2.5mm balanced!

Some others already asked me about this, here's an image showing it's a 3 cable/single ended design, for balanced/balanced differential you need 4/6 wires... this wire/cable is Approx 2 mm each cable/conductor so you'd be looking at 4 x 2 mm into a 2.5 mm termination...Not even the gods rofl...lol can work that math giggle...

I think I did ok as it was ('n I had to use the doctors tardis to make it)
But, now I'm thinking of trying to make a balanced version....thanks for that challenge lol

look above and behold, that's my best-est magic lol..... My Fu remains strong young grasshopper

Looks great. Kinda like the headphone cable equivalent of a MLB necklace.

Since we are talking about DIY here

Upgraded TA ZH1ES output stage capacitors from Nichicon fine gold to Kasei Bipolar . The TA-ZH1ES is a beast with other mods and upgrades too. Let’s get back to our desktop pictures

I’m set for source/amp options/open and closed headphone options, finally. All that remains this year is some spacing/vibration control tweaking (spacing under the Node 2, vibration control under the Feliks Echo) and higher-quality single-ended cabling for ZMFs and the Stellia. Very pleased with the setup now.

Not shown: Trusty daily drivers (Shure SEH-1540s) and DAP for around-the-house/desk/travel listening, the amazing Sony WM1A (mk I).
