Hello All,
I am new to the audiofile world and would like to build me a pair of interconnects. I have seen folks use cotton tubing to build interconnect and speaker cables. My question is where can i get them in let's say 1000ft that is cheap. Ive seen prices on parts connexion and they are expensive.
ive searched and came up empty.
thank you

Fabric stores carry cotton sleeves. Joanne's for example.
However, depending upon the size you need, some folks simply use shoe laces with the ends cut off. These are usually woven tubes that can expand a bit, but not always cotton.
Here
1.) John Plant Company (South or North Carolina, I forget which); very reasonable, but check sizing, as they may have dropped their previous smallest diameter cotton tubing from their roster. Long runs are their specialty, BTW. The cheapest way to go that I found, aside from AliExpress (see below.)
2.) VT4C in Hong Kong (on-line only store)- Very good quality for the price, a decent amount of sizes to choose from.
3.) Chris at VH Audio (on-line seller only) also sells cotton tubing, as I recall. Not cheap, but very high quality, no doubt.
A couple of others that may or may not still sell the stuff are Kyle at RAM (in Southern California) and Parts Connexion (in Canada.) Take Five Audio (also in Canada) might carry some, but I am not sure on that.
Actually, I am pretty sure Parts Connexion does still sell it, but 1000' is quite a bit. They have 20% off everything sales regularly, so wait a bit and save a bundle.
You can get cotton tubing (hollow cotton rope I believe is what they call it) at AliExpress and the 1000' run will be NO problem, for sure. Absolutely KILLER pricing, but finding a small size for wires might be a challenge.
Best of luck, and hope these help some.
Cheers,
WS
Try looking at your local fabric shop.
