Twl sent me a pair of cables which I'm running between my preamp and power amplifiers. They are really, really good. With apologies to Tom, I am pasting the description for building them. This is directly from his email to me.
The recipe is:
1 package of Radio Shack magnet wire, which comes with 3 different spools. 22,26, and 30ga.
The desired length of 1/4" semi-clear polyethylene icemaker tubing.
Package of teflon plumber's tape
Whatever RCA connectors you like. I used Radio Shack gold plated.
Cut your tubing length, and then spiral wrap the 30ga. wire around the tube at about 1 turn per 2 inches. Then spiral wrap the teflon tape over it to cover it up and hold it in place.
Then snake another length of 30ga. wire through the tube till it comes out the other end.
Solder the RCA plugs on with the center conductor to the wire inside the tube, and the spiral wrapped wire to the outer ring connector on the plug.
Break them in and enjoy.
Try it, you'll like it. My thanks to Tom for turning me onto this great performer.
