The last ones I made I sent to a friend I meet in Brighton England.
We had talked for 5 yrs on line and i made him some.
Well now he is hooked on them.
Look at Gomers page.You can try his method, but all point taken.I can spin them faster than the method he uses.
And way less pain.

This is just a sample of info on the Cat 5

These are 3 of the speakers from Room 1, i would have liked to have had time to listen to in Room 3. An MTM using a 4" TB similar to the 3" in the Elf (this showed some promise in the HT room). Not quite sorted yet thou. The "experiments in finishing" MCM + tweeter that Duane commented on, and a GR Research (i believe) kit with a ribbon and an M130 midbass. Talk is that an Eton will be subbed in. It should sound good (it better for a grand each Canadian -- not how i'd spend that kind of money, but i believe this is for a kit with everthing including knock down boxes -- Al?).

These are the only 3 i haven't commented on. Keep in mind that there was a lot of electronics coloration & grit to try to listen thru and that no two were played using the same songs, so these comments are at best gut impressions.
The 1st 2 i think suffered from too much cross-over. Both were kind of congested sounding. I've built a speaker with the little MCM -- the toobz -- and i know they can do better than heard here. On the toobz i damped the cone to give it a smooth natural roll-off and only had a 2nd order XO on the tweeter.
The 3rd one... well to tell you the truth is was not memorable, as in i can't really remember any impression of it.

CSS Criterion
The CSS Criterion as listened to on Saturday was a prototype with the ARG2 ribbon and the GR Research M130 woofer. This was the original plan but we've changed to the ETON 5", which, though more expensive, matches the ribbon better. The series crossover uses foil inductors, Sonicaps, Mills resistors, and the kit (C$1329 a pair) includes high quality binding posts, etc., everything but the cabinets. These are knock down flat packs at $80 each. Custom assembly and finishing is available from Al at RAW Acoustics.

CAT5
let's not forget what this cable is designed for - computer network premise wiring the technical requirements are basically for extended frequency response( unless you don't consider major fractions of GIGA-hertz to be extended) with constant impedance. ( L/C/R impedance is more significant at 500MHz than DCR)
check out the following,

http://bwccat.belden.com/cgi-bin/nc.../report?P1=1590A&P2=Multi-Conductor&P3=Paired
Has anyone experimented with CAT6 ? ( as in 600MHz)

The last picture...
But certainly not of least importance. Tery Olson (Seattle i believe) brought with him a 9 step Radio Shack 40-987 transformer attenuator which we hooked up for use as a "passive pre" between the CD player and power amp in the Frugal-phile(tm) front end i brought*. A little limited in ultimate level control (i guess you could gang 2 of them for an 81 step attenuator), this thing none the less sounded more dynamic and cleaner than the pre in the NAD. At $30 USD for a stereo unit well worth getting to play with.
* this front end consisted of a Lux CD player ($10 CAD garage sale item) and an NAD 7020. These along with the Frugal-phile(tm) Mk IIs comprised a less than $200 CAD (~$130 USD) CD/FM stero system. And one that you could listen too (IMO it handily ate up & spit out the front end in room 1 -- a couple people asked what was playing expecting it to be Chris' Jolida/Jolida set-up (it wasn't that good))
