Happy Holidays everyone!Finished this build right before Christmas. I'm proud of it and thought others would enjoy the cable porn!
Construction is VHAudio hyperflex teflon tubing, cryo'ed VHAudio cotton-insulated fine silver wire, PTFE Teflon gas line tape (thicker mil than regular plumber's tape), natural Teflon TechFlex, white 1/2" 3:1 heatshrink, and cryo'ed Oyaide RCAs.
Sounds WONDERFUL - smooth, detailed, rich, and tuneful. With Chris' new Teflon tubing, it's also very flexible. Microphonices are minimal, even with the hollow Teflon tube.
