Shoe laces are usually hollow tubes, to slip your cable through you'll need to cut off the "Aglet". Not all shoe laces are hollow though, you made need to roll it between your fingers to feel if it is hollow or not. Also since shoe laces come in pre-cut lengths, to make a longer cable you'll have to splice two together (as with the heatshrink in mADmAN's pictures).
I just re-cabled my Hd580, which I purchased from bloodydoorknob, with Canare Star Quad last night. From what little listening I could do, I could clearly hear a much better and fuller sound than that with the stock cable. It was quite surprisingly much easier than I believed it would be. The toughest part was stripping the original connectors and cutting them for re-cabling.
I have been developing a new cord that is primarily copper through out. These are the plugs I thought that I would use.They are machined from brass and plated with 24K gold, no other sub plating.
They are bigger than a typical plug but very well made and extremely attractive. I added the gold ring for positioning purposes due to the wire being UHPLC copper and tends to require a long burn in, I wanted to make it simple to recall which end was in the amp if removed.
