Good job buddy! Very nice. Good luck to them too.

I already had a DIY using the same cable but with cheaper connectors and the difference is staggering. Next time, i'll try the furutech !
Very nice cables indeed!! How much are the Furutech connectors and where can we buy them?

The furutech are between 80$ and 130$ for the mid-range (rhodium or gold plugs) and the top of the line is around 200$ (carbon and rhodium).

I buy them from a retailer online but I'm in France so I doubt that it would be helpful for you. I'm sure it should be quite easy to find them in the US

You're right Dan, I've never done it on a forum before but I guess that's why AA is so much friendlier than other places

It's really not hard to do and it doesn't take that much time. You don't need any special tool or soldering.

My next project now is to clean up all the cable behind my rack. It's a huge mess and I can never get anything clean. I guess I have too much gear

The cables look great. There's nothing like that feeling of pride when you do something like this yourself.
