Hi ABliss,See the link below for ChrisVH's recipe.
I've made them using 32ga Teflon-insulated fine silver wire sourced from A-M Systems and using Chris' cryo'ed cotton-insulated silver. I prefer Chris' cotton/silver wire to A-M Systems' Teflon-coated silver.
There's a link to both sources in his recipe page.
Note that using the teflon tube Chris mentions in the recipe makes for a fairly stiff interconnect. You may wish to use a more flexible core material, like ePFTE tubing or EPDM sponge cord. I do no have a source for either of those, but google should turn up something.
Also in the FWIW department, I construct a variant of this recipe using Chris' cotton/silver wire around a loosely woven cotton core, then wrapped in cotton gauze, and covered with Teflon TechFlex. The dielectric is most cotton & air. The sound (with the right RCAs) is gorgeous - liquid, detailed, full, and powerful.
Good luck!

As a matter of fact, the ICs I used to replace the Nordosts with are a pair of Chris's, using copper wire.
since the Nordosts are broken, but the DIY don't seem quite as good, though there isn't a dramatic difference. That in itself says quite a bit. When I get the Nordosts back in service, there will have to be a shootout.
Thanks for the info, I will surely look into that, DIY is no problem for me, but a 5m pair is a bit of work plus the silver cost. So I am tring to check all the silver options out before taking the plunge.
