Making the highest quality cable possible using only generic components

Post Body

Hello there! I'm looking into making my very first audio cable, to replace the (now broken) 3.5mm female to male cable that came with my Superlux HD668B. Now, I know it's not the highest quality pair of headphones, but they're the ones I can afford to get locally (importing stuff is a pain in the ass here). For the same reason, I can't afford to buy expensive cables and connectors and import them here, and so far there's not much I found for HiFi audio cable components, and we can all agree using a standard 3 channel cable will be not sufficient (to say the least). What alternatives do I have to using that cable? I heard repurposing an ethernet cable is a good idea, but I wanted to know your thoughts. As for the connectors, both the male and female 3.5mm jacks, is there any way I can make them more conductive, less noisy, and sound better overall?

Thank you very much for your time and I hope to learn a lot from you
