I have made some other cables but this is my first attemt on recabling. I am really happy with the result. [IMG]http://personal.inet.fi/koti/silmaauki/DIY/DT531.png
As you see this time I did not use the green techflex.

But of course I used my own tag.

What kind of cable did you go with? Any improvements in the sound? Great job btw.
Wires are silver plated copper with teflon insulation. It is either 24 or 22 agw (can't remember exactly what I have in my 'store'.). Four wires braided together.
I cannot tell you about the improments since the original cable on these babies was broken a couple of months ago. But they do Rock and Roll.
EDIT: The speaker cable end pants that Wirecare sells DO NOT shrink. They are not very easy to use.

Now that I have paid some more attention to this issue I feel like there is a change. The old description - groovalizer - is not accurate any more. The lows have been tamed a bit and the highs are slightly more present. This is hard to believe by myself. Could this be the result of recabling?
I have now compared these to my DT880 (pre 2005) and Grado RS1 (with ported Z-flats). I almost like DT 531 over 880's.

Team Jerker! Team X-fi! Team Sennheiser!
The one that you can see all of is a power umbilical cord using Neutrik Speakon connectors and the other is an AC power cord that uses a traditional 3-prong AC plug at the wall end and a Neutrik Powercon connector at the amp.
