I built these because I was appalled at what high end cables cost. I am in the Navy and have built cables for the control and operation of nuclear reactors on both Submarines and Aircraft Carriers. This is far easier. Parts Express sold me all the parts. I just bought an UPA-7 amplifier from Emotiva so my cable color choices should be obvious. I used the following parts:
RG-59 cable with copper shield
Rean(Neutrik related brand) RCA connectors #NYS373
1/2" Heat Shrink Tubing-3M brand #FP-301
1/4" Neon Blue Techflex #082-328
I was most impressed with the Rean connectors. These were cheap(maybe inexpensive is a better term) and high quality. I was able to make them to a custom length to clean up all the wiring behind my cabinet and I think they look good. Here are a few pictures of one of the finished cables. I think I am going to build another 25 foot length XLR cable with microphone cable and the same neon blue techflex with Neutrik connectors to the exact length that I need. These ended up costing about $7 apiece and are a great bargain compared to high end cables.
