i'm thinking about re-cabling my sr-60 to make them more portable-friendly (yeah yeah, i know some of you are wondering why the sr-60...but it's one of my favorite all-time headphones)...while i won't spend a lot for the cable. it's nice to see how they might look with a thin cable...
The cable is EXTREMELY thin and flexible, in fact it's so small that it's scary. Only after building it did I learn this. Next recable job, I'm opting for some tubing over it. I'm getting some nice cotton tubing that should be able to slip over this width of cable and then perhaps some nylon over it. It's very thin and if treated wrong, I'm afraid it'll break. It does sound wonderful though, a nice addition of detail over stock.

For SR60, I would recommend just going with SPC, cant' be beat for $10 total cost
