I would have predicted that it was related to the low-volume nature in which the cables are moved, as well as them just being able to charge 200 dollars for some wire.
not really, takes me 6 hours to build one and a couple of day of testing, Out of all the cables I build the senn is the dreaded cable , I have set aside an entire day off for that one cable. The wire I use isnt easy to come by, nor is it cheap and each cable takes 28 feet of it. Also to build one, you have to order a bunch of parts from different vendors. It takes a lot of time. The wire I use for it had to be ordered a couple months in advance just to get it in my hands.
this is the reason why $$$ factors in a cable. I personally would rather not be paid 4 dollars and hour of straight labor for a senn cable.
btw akzip's method off attacking the pins is pretty cool. figured it out by playing around with a few connectors lying around. It's his idea, so I wont be using it, nor will I unveil the secret
Good job zip.

Thanks and I am happy you figured it out. The idea of it isn't too complicated, but the process will take time to master. I spent a long time trying to figure it out so I will never give away my secret.

then I started to just cut into the plug, and realized what you meant lol.

I bet it is a lot of work but the end result is sooooo worth it.

for some reason bootless connectors look naked to me, I think it has to do with the exposed gap of the connector exit , like nails on a chalk board when I see it :P

My second cable was a 4" mini-to-mini, but the L/R channels were switched and only one side worked. I didn't realize this until after I had a put hot glue all over the connections, so it was too late. I'll have to re-try when I get some new 1/8" plugs.
