Huh. I'd have thought it'd be more complicated, what with the individually insulated strands and all.
Nonetheless, feel free to send a pair my way when your done

Oh you mean the enamel coating on the strands etc, not just the outer cover/insulator. Well first shuck outer then scrape the fine strands with a razor blade repeatedly and then I plunge them into a high-temp pot of molten solder. That's why I use a solder pot and it's still a nightmare lol, I hate litz.

I guess I'll stick to pre-built Litz cables then. I thought maybe you could burn the insulation off with a butane torch or something

What, do your headphones sleep in a separate bed or something? How prude.

You can. The solder pot just makes it slightly less of a PITA.

When I turn in, the h/p curfew is in effect; any miscreants will face the next day with this:

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

See what you've done setting a challenge rofl!... Now I'm trying small balanced thingy's damnit hahaha... Ok my reading glasses didn't seem strong enough even with the magnifying glass...giggle... It's all still relevant as it's all happening at my Head-Fi station...(Listening to NIN on DCA powered by toobz lol, not bad for an oldfart)

edit: oh yes lol that's my CrAzY 16awg litz cable again, (look at the size of that stuff..photo reference ROFL) I'm about to start, thinking of making one cable to rule them all... In other words how to make an expensive DIY cable cost you several times more than normal woohoo ...... hahahahaha

I've been known to bend over backwards for a laugh 'n to entertain to meet some challenges when I can lol, or as close to as I can get... I'll do a BAL 3.5mm at some point but here's a 4.4mm BAL short cable (for an interchangeable termination main cable I'm still working on ). SW Carbon fiber, polished Rhodium custom terminations and uber phat litz .... Smexy looking as heck, well to me it is lol.. I hate it !

Then you can get more gear!…

 

[gimmeheadroom]

Quite the pair!

How exactly do you strip the insulation of that Litz wire anyways?

Get your minds outta the gutter, fellas! This is a family show!

Then you can get more gear!…

Stack 'em deep and sell 'em cheap!

Beautiful work!! How do you plan to finish the wood?

You have a couple tools I oogled for decades but never sprung for (larger/stronger table saw w/wide & deep table; oscillating sander; probably more I can't see).
