still have to add more..

braiding is cool but know when to use it.
first of all, braided cables make it tight and stiff.

2nd of all, not everything needs to be braided - some times simplicity works best for elegance.

Work on the finishing and make it very clean look with the correct color schemes. Best is to review all those high end cable and try to get ideas on how high end cables do it to get a better understanding what must be done.

the secret isn't the braiding actually.. most of the cables is how they arrange the geometry of the cable/ conductor mixes/ number of strands/ and how they do the do the plugs itself.

The skin effect and how the signal travels..
Which is why i don't like multistranded cable for interconnect, the bass highs and mids are very desync compared to solid core or foil.

Cardas is cold pressed into one solid block - their spades are fused together with the cables.
The defunct Virtual dynamics silver solder fill their spade plugs which are cryo treated.

Braiding just offer slight resistance to RF contaimination but that can be easily address with a tin/copper sleeving over the cable to have a makeshift faraday cage.

Thats nice.
share your findings, i'm interested too.

updated my foil design -

It'll be nicer if i can get higher purity OCC foils.
Have lobang for 6n Silver foils anybody want to try?

23 USD/foot - 1 meter = 3 foot so around 69 usd without shipping.
