making our own custom cables/interconnects ...

But then where would the fun be if you don't drop a few thousand on cables? Seriously, if you have good electronic construction skills you should have no problem making decent, inexpensive cables.

Do a search at www.audioasylum.com. They have an entire section on homebrew cables.

Well, it's not really that simple. I agree with Drrasta that the best place to start looking is the asylum. Simply taking silver wire and wrapping it with rubber will not yield good results. There are many, many great DIY ideas for cables out there, ranging from very inexpensive to reasonably priced. There is a very complex science involving cable construction (the equations are fairly high level), and the construction itself can be tricky/tedious. Look at Chris Van Haus stuff, and also at www.diycable.com. Jon Risch at the asylum will be able to help you out tremedously, but don't think that the high prices of some cables aren't completely justified. Don't expect to be able to make cables that will compete with Synergistic/Transparent/Siltech/Nordost, but you will get VERY reasonably results. All the cables in my system are per Risch's recipies, and I couldn't be happier. Cheers!

thanks form the input..

what about pure silver and pure copper wires ?
what do they consist of ? is there any ressource where we could see the basics of making a great sound cable ?
like diff layers to apply, basis of metal condution ....etc..
??

thanks..
