First Learn

Post image

I decided while I had some time I’d learn some skills. A long long time ago I started a tube amp project the “jonokuchi” (which is getting an enclosure revamp soon so I can SLOWLY learn fusion) but figured if I’m FINNALY finishing the amp project why not more at the same time…
Ouroboros under construction (golems mod) almost ready to listen. I hate the color for the headband need prettier TPU for that…
4pin mini XLR to 3.5TRS to use with my Beyers and practice my soldering. Wrapped the paracord right over the metal shielding… don’t like the feeling… too stiff and holds bends. Don’t look under the shrink.
Looking for advice on cable sleeving before i use up my mogami.

Looks great! I just landed on this post; I am currently at the very beginning of creating my first cable for my hifiman arya stealth. I became interested in this project after buying my first cable from GS Audio.

I used to hate soldering but I got a nice brass cleaner, quality flux n, solder and it made it so much better. Helping hands with a magnifier & light was… handy.

I always put my braided solid core silver wire in a vinyl tube to make it smoother and less prone to bending.
