Was showing off my last months efforts of my uber-phat cables to a family member, they wanted to learn how but asked can I do something more flash??? Thinking to myself wth? these aint flash 'n overkill enough rofl... I settle down and try to think... smell smoke, no fire it's an idea (I'm a analog kinda guy, it's just the dust burning off once the tubes warm up a bit giggle)... an idea... I'm kinda tiny bit crazy lol. Thought put a square peg into dual round to impress will maybe do it ? So this happened.

Spent whole day (well 13 or so hours) at my head-fi station showing them my cans, listening to music and trying to show em how to do this...
8 way 22awg litz box weave (square) into dual 4 way round braid... Not terminated as didn't plan this cable... But it exists now and as most know it's not easy for me so I am not going to waste it (also 18m {2.25m x 8} worth of copper there rofl ain't cheap/now crying thinking about it all lol), just have to work out which cans it'd be used on for terminations rofl... (for nerds it's 22awg litz @133 strand count x 8 = 1,064 strand count :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: cable)

The start....

At the Meze booth at CanJam NYC (February '22), they gave every visitor a white wrist bracelet made of twisted HP wire. The little SS end fits into the magnetic clasp--elegant and simple.

I still wear it from time to time. It's very cool.

Everyone's too kind ty again, :smile: it' doesn't even have shiny bling terminations yet....That said if you like nice cable 'n like a lil bling wait till you see me spinning some silver strands if you like shiny things... Hhmm, there's an idea, maybe I'll do some sometime :upside_down:....

Fun pairing: Focal Clear OG and Grado RA-1 (9V battery powered). Tremendous dynamics via battery DC power / inert / silent backdrop!

Current State - Just rolled in a very special driver tube, the 6201 Hamburg Pinched Waist Triple Mica D Getter, and my VC's are singing.

Holographic staging and realism is in full effect. . .
