tonight i re-recabled my akg k-240 (600 omegas)

my first cable attempt involved canare starquad, and an f-12 connector. sadly it pulled out due to inadequate strain releif.

i used hand braded 22ga silver plated stranded wire with black teflon insluation. braid is a circular litz type. the whole cable is covered by a nice bit of plain black techflex. shrink-wrap was usded libberally. i was MUCH more carefull about strain releif. i re-used the f-12 mini connector. total length is about 4 ft, as these are my portable headphones.

Good job, i have the same cans.

I regret not removing the filters inside the housing when I took mine apart, but I stripped the screws to the point of no return.

I have a feeling that removing the filters would have increased the bass response of the cans.

very nice a clean DIY, clean work is very admirable. I like the pic of they splitter detail. I see a lot of pics the try to hide incosistencies in overall finish, but your cable is quite impressive.
