    im looking for some good quality RCA interconnects and would like to try make them myself, also some 3.5 to RCA to connect my mp3 players to my amp.

    has anyone tried making their own? and more importantly where can you get good wire and jacks? theres tons of threads on headfi but im interested to see where us irish lads can source stuff. would be handy if there was some supplier in ireland.

    thanks lads.

    I've bought cables in the past from small producers selling on ebay. Van Damme wire with Neutrik connectors. Generally much better value imo than many of the big name brands. You'd probably get the raw materials on ebay too if you wanted to try it yourself.

    had a gander on ebay but most of the van damme cable seems to be musical instrument stuff. wish they had a category for audiophile diyers.
