I've made a couple revisions to my Senn cable since I posted the original. A second layer of techflex was added, the Y-split was simplified and the leads to the headphone were heatshrunk rather than techflexed for what I think is a more professional look.

How would you describe the difference in sound between the K501's stock cable and your new cable? Some silver ICs I have did go through changes during a burn-in period ... how about your new 501 cables?
I rarely see any reference to K501 recable and I am interested to know. I'm very happy with my 501s with the stock cable, but if recable provides a significant improvement it's worth considering.
...and silver-plated copper teflon wire from eBay, Litz braided, covered with heat shrink tubing. Soldered at 500 F on a Weller WESD51, using a 1/32" tip and .015 dia silver-bearing solder. Remember to leave one wire long as a lead wire to pull through the tube! This came out well enough to give me the confidence to go do the surface mount work on my MINT.
As a student of you alll, I wish that you'd post more "money" shots before you clothe your work. This is the internet after all! The insides are the hard part for newbies like me to learn.
