My third project was actually the first one I could finish. I have already made 4 speaker cables out of CAT5 cables. It's a nice stress reliever, too!
If you want to build them yourself, here are the instructions for doing so:

Be advised, though - your hands will end up full of blisters!
Are they worth it? I'm not sure about it. I love their sound - but I also like the sound of 10GA copper cable. I, of course, found them a bit better than copper - a bit more detail here, a bit more detail there. That's it And that was when using the MartinLogans - the Energys
sound to me exactly identical with both cables.
Still, they look nice, and are a good conversation piece
