oogabooga Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 Decided to make some new speaker cables, but since the biggest wire I had in any quantity was 20 gauge I had to braid a metric arseload of wire: Crimony! How long did that take you?? Braiding those 1ft RCAs above took me about 1/2 an hour... your run must've taken a day! Quote

peanutbutterjam Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 I'll bet he has one of those little girl battery powered hair braiding toys... Oh no the secret is out You are one really funny guy sir. Quote
Fitz Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 Crimony! How long did that take you?? Braiding those 1ft RCAs above took me about 1/2 an hour... your run must've taken a day! For the braiding part, about 5-10 minutes per 7 foot cable, of which there were 8. I used some kapton insulated wire for this because of how fast it can be braided versus PVC or teflon. Quote

runnin17 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 I'll bet he has one of those little girl battery powered hair braiding toys... still wondering if this would actually work, LOL??? Quote
grawk Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 Only if you want twisted instead of braided Quote
runnin17 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 Only if you want twisted instead of braided yeah, I saw that after I did a quick search for them. Hehe. Silly me, I was actually thinking about getting one. Quote
Fitz Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 A go over with the polishing cloth can help bring out the shine in those highs you know. Except now I have images of crusty bowls of abandoned noodles and a heap of socks turning to compost. Ok so I cleaned up the stand all nice and shiny like, and I didn't get any improvement in the highs at all. What a gyp. Very nice Fitz! Thanks Steve! Quote
Smeggy Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 Gah, talking about wire, I need to get more. I keep running out. Quote
Fitz Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 Finally put some proper bananas on those cables... Quote
Pars Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 A 1 meter pair of RCA interconnects built with 28ga Neotech UP-OCC copper on cotton rope, similar to the ChrisVH silver recipe. Yarbo RCAs. Quote
Grand Enigma Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Posted March 7, 2009 I personally prefer Topsy Tail for all my cabling needs. Quote
Pars Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 Damn those are pretty! That is actually black nylon techflex... must be the flash picking up the white teflon tape underneath it. I'm no photographer, that's for sure But thanks! Quote
PICaudio Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 These are some of the wires I made for my headphones. (Cannare, Mogami mini-quad and Cardas with Neutrik NC3MXX-B XLR conectors). (Cardas with Neutrik XLR) (Cardas with 4-pin XLR Neutrik, and 4-pin XLR to 1/4 jack Furutech FP-704(G) in my SR-225 "heavy duty" ) -- o -- Rodrigo Quote
n_maher Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 Any more pics of the SR225s? Do they really have metal cups? Quote
PICaudio Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 Any more pics of the SR225s? Do they really have metal cups? Yes, I made this aluminium cups. I have other SR-225 and I'm working in a new al/wood cups... The big problem with those mods is I can't buy a Grado drivers separately -- o -- Rodrigo Quote
grawk Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 I'd be interested in some headband L/R blocks if you ever feel like making those Quote
penger Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 Looks awesome! Might wanna invest in some upgraded headbands. Quote
The Monkey Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 I like the way those aluminum cups look...a lot. How do they sound? Quote
