Hi all - I have an idea floating around in my head.. and to be clear its nothing more than idea at this point.
I would like to hear ya'lls feedback. Would this be something that would generate interest? is it already being done? any tips?
what if someone started making cables and LOD's and did the following:
stranded or solid copper or silver wire bought in bulk and sleeved by hand in what would most likely be medical grade silicone for optimal
flexibility, great looks, and durability
solder would be plain vanilla from the hardware store - flux, rosin, lead based
this would be based in the U.S.
it would be one person making the cables, and no promise of super fast turnaround would be made.
the idea behind this would be to give people who want great looking cables, quality connectors and parts, but maybe they dont believe in changes in sound quality and dont feel the need to pay for special wire treatments, or things like that.
Thanks Ya'll

what if someone started making cables and LOD's and did the following:
- made NO claims of sound improvement or any other claims other than quality construction and great looking cables.
- was completely upfront with what it cost to make the cable, vs. how much is being charged:
- for example - the 2 neutrik connectors cost xx each, the cable cost xx, the solder cost, the sleeve cost, the shipping cost, etc... the total cost of making this cable was xx and i have added xx to that to give you the final price of xx
- basically set a flat rate for charging.. in other words once the actual cost to make the cable was shared, the final cost would always be 30 dollars more
- the types of parts used would be a balance of high quality and low price to keep the cable price down..for example
stranded or solid copper or silver wire bought in bulk and sleeved by hand in what would most likely be medical grade silicone for optimal
flexibility, great looks, and durability
solder would be plain vanilla from the hardware store - flux, rosin, lead based
- Cables could be customized to the content of the person placing the order based on what the maker has available, their willingness to wait for the maker to get the parts they want, or what the total price would end up being.
