Nice thanks! Can’t wait till it shows up so I can test it out! I’ll post it up when it shows 
you’re on etsy? do you do single ended as well?
Absolutely! I can make pretty much anything you might need out of whatever materials, just may need to source if I don’t have in stock already. I have single ended 1/4" Neutrik and some 3.5mm Rean in my stash. My site has only a few selections which I placed on there to make for a more modular approach, but I can do direct invoicing though PayPal for something custom not on the site. Just let me know what you need, and I’ll work with you from there.

Welcome aboard, interesting and nice work. Now I need to figure out this Etsy thing…

Oh, it’s a weird and fun place. Especially for hobbyists.

@CapistranoCables be ready. I have a pair of dca aeon 2 opens coming so I’m going to be bugging you for another y cable soon here lol.
Nice! I’ll be interested to hear how you like them. I have the Mr. Speakers Aeon Flow closed, and they are great. I thought about the opens, but I have some Focal Elex in the same price range that are excellent, and very happy with them. I like the difference between them for my desk setup as mains, but I recently got some Hifiman Sundara’s that I have to say are my current favorites. When do they arrive? Looks like your Pentaconn will be there tomorrow. Enjoy!

Yeah I had a tough time deciding between the open and closed. But I read that the frequency response is extremely close between the closed and opens for the aeon 2, unlike the original aeon that sounded completely different between the c and o. They’ll be here on Monday so I’m going to think hard about which cables I will be requesting from you to match them well.
And yes I’m eagerly awaiting the pentacon tomorrow!

It’s too bad I’m not working, or I’d order an mmcx cable. Hope you and the fam are doing well!
Main cable from @CapistranoCables came in 
. Works as advertised lol.
But really, I was slightly worried about the minixlr being a bit heavy for the y but it’s not at all. The cable itself and the mini xlr jack used a very light. The cable rolls up real nice, is very flexible without and kinks. I’m loving this modular system. The pentacon connect is great, although it’s the first time I got to use a pentacon connector (so much better than 2.5!) lol. All the connectors are nice a secure. Thanks again man!
Oh and thanks for the leather pouch you included! Nice touch

It’s pretty nice. I dig it.
Glad you like it! I think the cable turned out nice if I do say so myself! I like the size better than my 16 core, especially for portable use. The bigger ones are great for desk/home but also a bigger pain to work with when trying to fit inside the mini XLRs. The Pentaconn would have been a nightmare with all 16 cores. Too thick for that for sure. I send the main cables in the leather pouch so you can use to store, glad you liked it too!

They look really great! I will definitely give a look before my next cable purchase
Are those EMU teak and what are those pads on them?
Yeah they’re the teaks. I was trying out the 1540 alcantara pads. Sounds surprisingly good with them actually. I put some fabric in them to bring the bass back up and tube the highs down a tad. Not to shabby overall.

After a few repairs and one re-purposing of an old, unused cable, today I built my first ever cable from scratch with a purpose in mind other than just learning - I wanted a balanced cable for my Eikons with a right-angled XLR plug (suits the ergonomics better).
Again, a few mistakes were made, but this time, while it’s not perfect, it’s a lot closer to where I want to be, so I thought I’d share…

Haven’t seen a Ray Samuels amp in a while, nice setup (is the psu under the desk?)
