Carbon fibre it is.

Black Carbon or Silver Carbon?

I think the standard black looks best and will match all the cables, the silver might not look as good with the cables with black sleeving.

Black carbon fibre for sure!!!!!!!!!!..and how about hifiman connectors? One that takes thicker cables? Is that an idea? Could that be possible? Or at least a limited version?
It for sure would make ur job easier to be able to put 18awg 8wire in it
And i am probably pushing it..BUT..could u also implement some kind of angle in them? As that would be perfect!

Still on it Rookie?
I guess you will not quit until Frank makes you an 8-wire cable?

Haha, nope. No connectors for the HE.
 
I can do HE cables with 18AWG wires, but 4 sleeved rectangular copper wires is a different story. Saw what, count yourself in for an 8 wire, i will make it somehow. Will email when i get a chance with price difference.

I feel totally innocent!!!!!
But OMG..did u say 4 sleeved retangular 18awg wires for a he phone? That will be the godzilla of all cables for a hifiman headphone then

Black Carbon for copper cables, Silver for silver ones
And engraved

OK, been speaking to the manufacturer and with engraved the shell materials would show on the plugs which might not look nice over time.
 
So might need to go for printing unless i can find an alternative to this. If printing should i go for silver or black. the silver will not stand out much and i think will look nice with silver logo over the silver barrel, then black would also match the carbon.

What kind or connectors are we talking about? 1/4 single ended, 1/8 single ended, XLR 4 pins or dual XLR 3 pins???? Or all of the above?

The same ones we have been talking about on the last 3 pages lol

Ah found it..missed that post somehow..big oopsie!
so at first its only single ended 6,3mm and 3,5mm right?
Damn..not interesting for me

About the new connectors/plugs/jacks. I'd go for the most compact design in black with the 3.5mm as they are mostly used on small devices and are mostly too big. For 6.3mm I'd also prefer black or black with carbon. Black is always stylish and it fits with any other color.
I'm still waiting for a black anodized TC y-splitter. 

 
PS Frank, I sent you the order yesterday with a follow up and some questions.

So, I have a beautiful unsleeved Silver Poison cable, with a 6.35mm Viablue connector for my HE-6. However, since I'm probably going to upgrade to an amp that won't provide enough power for them out of SE (right now my he-6 is going way underpowrered...), I want to replace the connector with a 4-pin XLR. About how hard would this be to pull off? I'm thinking it shouldn't be too problematic. And what connector should I be using?

Hi Frank,
 
Just placed an order for an Audio GD headphone amplifier from you.  A PM sent.

A Gold print might be quite classy looking, otherwise grey might strike a middle ground.

Hi Frank,
 
I'm enquiring about one of the Audio-GD units via PM. Cheers!
