Hi all,
I have made some cables with Belden 1505F. It is great and I love them. I made some for a friend and he has thrown his £150 ($250) Van de Hul cables he previously used into a drawer. He has asked me for more.
I would like to mod the cables to look cool. I know this won't improve sonics, but I like the idea of it. Could anyone post a link to suitable products for cable sleeving. It doesn't matter it is U.S. or U.K., but at least it would give me an idea of what to look for. Also, does anyone know where to get coloured 3:1 15mm heatshrink? The plug is 10mm wide, and I have tried to find this for the ends, but it seems rarer than hen's teeth.
The cable diameter is 6.15mm, which goes into a 6.00mm plug - so it is a very tight fit. How do I use cable sleeving? How does it stick to the end of the plug, and does it need to go inside the plug to fasten?
I have had a great deal of help here, so I hope I can finish this project and post a pic of my final achievement. I have posted my progress with pics in an earlier posting, if anyone is interested.
