    I recently bought some Sommercable Carbocab 225 to make a headphone cable, but it's just too stiff for me, so I made up a couple pair of three foot long IC's. They use Cardas' best RCA connector (SRCA) and use Cardas Quadeutectic solder.

    I've had the RCA plugs for some time, and they have discolored a bit on the ends (gives them character ;-) ).
    They have been wired with the shield connected on the source end only, as per common practice.

    I'm looking to get $100 a pair for them, shipping included. ConUS for now.

    Thanks for looking.

    Just made a few pair of these myself and they were a big improvement in my system. At this price you're basically just paying for parts/shipping and getting free labor. Edit, I used cheaper Cardas connectors, so maybe less than parts.

    I got some custom Furutech FA-aS22-KLE Absolute Harmony (now discontinued I think) RCAs and noticed zero diff ims.

    would these fit the bill for a better-sounding interconnect?

    I never used them as I already have some nice DIY Cardas cables so I don't know how they sound. The 225 is top quality though.
