whats wrong with the coiled cable?
if you really like a long messy uncoil cable id recommend you go down to jln pasar, buy 2.5mm & 3.5mm plugs and some cable from the same shop and ask them politely to make you the finished thingy, they gladly do it for mininum charge (rm5++)----probably cheaper than what most diy gurus will charge you,,,,,

@siles1991
id recommend you use 2 switches in your design

1- switch 1 for on-off ---to cut signal when you switch source
2- switch 2 for source A, source B

read rs components /farnell/ element14 catalogs for ideas of choice of swtiches in the market

there must be a premium switch that cut off signal when the switch triggered so with these you only need 1switch but im to sleepy to do research right now,,,,

so i shouldnt just let it be a constant signal to both? I can just turn off my speakers when im not using and control my headphones with the amp

I was initially planning to make something like this http://m.instructables.com/id/Mint-Box-Aud...witch/?ALLSTEPS but people say I can just use a Y split cable, and im not knowledgeable enough in electronics to add-on stuff D: I can only follow guides.

its a good thing, because you can source this mogami online and offer it to customers, hence the exclusivity

the sommer cable quality are comparable to canare----very flexible, look robust,

Where did you get it? Jalan pasar can get? Finding more flexible cable for my detox, currently using canare, quite heavy and not flexible enuf..

all d besh siles1991, im sure your next project will be perfect
your past solder job was good also

for a steady/easy solder job id recommend a simple helping hands like this

[attachmentid=3387039]

cheapest ~ rm9 @ jln pasar

---------------

@blacklizard90

yes, sommer cable can be found @ jln pasar also

but I think ill go back to canare soon --------- better price/specs ratio

for the same ~rm5/mtr price of sommer isopod so-f22 (foil shield) we can get canare L-2T2S (braided shield)

while canare L-2B2AT (~ same specs as so-f22) only cost rm3.50/mtr
