Grand Enigma Posted February 23, 2006 Report Posted February 23, 2006 Just some quick cables I made, 0404 breakout cable, XLR-RCA, RCA, XLR, Digital, mini-RCA, Adapters...
McShaggy Posted March 5, 2006 Report Posted March 5, 2006 Not the prettiest things, but function over form I guess.. :> I really need to learn how to braid, braided cables look just amazing.

n_maher Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 Banged out some quick and dirty mini/RCA cables last night to use with my Headroom Millett. Components: Neutrik NYS231B Mini Plug Canare L-4E6S Mic Cable Radioshack Heatshrink *bling* Canare F-09 RCAs Total Construction Cost = $10 and will nuke any Monster mini/RCA cable Sound pretty good so far.

Thaddy Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 Nate, for "bangin'" those out, they look pretty damn good... Also, do you have a clear heatshrink over the two channels after they split? (or do I have to clean my monitor...)
nmculbreth Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 I made these cables using Belden 89207 wire and Eichmann Gold Bullet Plugs. Not the best photos in the world but the cables actually sound pretty good.
n_maher Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 Nate, for "bangin'" those out, they look pretty damn good...Thanks man, they took about 45 min. each to build so either I'm getting better at cables or my standards are getting lower . Also, do you have a clear heatshrink over the two channels after they split? On the blue / blue-white cable one pair is in fact covered with clear shrink. I was just messing with the different types/colors that I had on hand since I didn't really care how they looked. So that cable has blue shrink on one side, clear on the other. As far as lessons learned goes I don't think I'll be using the clear any time soon as a single layer cover. The stuff that I have is very thin and I don't think it'll stand the test of time very well. In comparison the red, white and blue that I used on the other parts of the cable is quite nice. Nate
Grand Enigma Posted March 21, 2006 Author Report Posted March 21, 2006 20awg Teflon coated copper Senn cable for my Balanced Reference due in Friday... just in time for my to leave for Spring Break Sleeving is Reflexive flex for the main part of the cable and Carbon look flex for the ysplits. I used a barrel of a mini plugs for the ysplit to the XLR connectors. I opted to not use one on the Senn connector end to cut down on bulk and weight. Oh and its litz braided...

PsychoZX Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 I'm gonna have to have a matching one for my amp sometime in the future.

Grand Enigma Posted May 3, 2006 Author Report Posted May 3, 2006 UK mains cables. Wattgate 350i AG IEC and Rhodium plated Furutech UK main male plug. 3x12awg cable.
n_maher Posted September 8, 2006 Report Posted September 8, 2006 I'm working on a balanced amp project and it occurred to me that I don't have balanced "test" cans so last night I whipped these up:
Orcinus Posted October 7, 2006 Report Posted October 7, 2006 Mm...nice. Thanks. It's really quite overkill. I use it for my headphone amplifier. http://members.shaw.ca/Orcinus2/AV/HA-1 I wanted something that would complement the interconnects, if only visually.
