that really looks nice! is the cable still the original factory wires? have you considered re-wiring the whole thing?

i've been wanting to re-wire but working with the senn tiny plugs is a pain...i've seen some cut thru the plastic housing ends, some burn thru...not sure which way is more practical...

A MUCH easier way is to simply leave a little bit of wire on the original plugs and solder your new cable to it. It's A LOT easier than butchering the connectors.

that makes sense. but i'm wondering if the short wire may have an undesirable affect on sound Q of the new cable? did you experience any downside to this method or is it negligible?

Can't compare directly, but I don't think that 2cm of wire will really matter vs a 6 foot recable.

Good point, but it is a mechanical connection first so it shouldn't be TOO bad, but point noted. Perhaps I really gotta try comparing my cable to an authentic Cardas cable, see which sounds better.
