One thing I noticed, I placed a little pebble on top of my amp. As I move it around it changes the sound!

Amazing. If anyone wants one let me know, I think I can reproduce them for $1,397.31 each.

Plus shipping and handling.

I started braiding, but then just did a twist of the three Cat-5 cables. I was working with 20 foot runs and the braiding was taking too long; hence, simple twist, some heat shrink, and then the Tech-Flex. Poked a lot of holes in my fingers working with the ends. They look nice, sound fine, and were more or less free.

I really get a kick out of those wire risers that I've seen. Your pebble sounds like a plan; however, I much prefer my stone pyramid that sits on mine.
