I looked at his braided interconnects, and I'm not saying they wouldn't sound great, much better than the ones I'm about to describe. But just to throw out an idea, I don't begin to see the rationale for so much wire, which makes his braids extremely expensive. I used to make cables roughly like that, with as many as 6 wires signal and 6 more ground. Then I discovered Stalth cables and quite making my own for my own system, since I couldn't come close to their quality. But I still make cables for friends with lower end systems, and I use as little wire as possible, even to the point of making a double interconnect, with only 4 wires total, 2 for left and 2 for right, and in each of left and right, 1 for signal and 1 for ground. I make a fat braid, NOT like Kimber PJB or KCAG, and one thing I'm absolutely sure of, from direct comparisons of braids done each way, is that a fat braid (at least 1/2" diameter) sounds clearly better. These interconnects have to be double so as to have enough wires to braid. Keeping the wires down to 1 for signal, 1 for ground, in the cables I've made, and not saying anything about the ones from the DIY site that I haven't heard, made them better-sounding cables than my former multiwire braids. And when using Kimber silver, you save a LOT of money!
