I rebraided and resheathed this pair of KSC-75's for Superpredator. I had to dremel the neutrik barrel opening to increase its size and I also had to dremel the opening of the plastic piece on the clip-ons that covers up the driver solder pads. I used a 4-wire round braid and the wire is 26AWG stranded silver-plated copper.
Zorander, what 1/4" plug is that? I really like it!
It's something locally available to me and cheaper than Neutrik plugs (Product Link). They're very sturdy too. I recabled another phone with the same plug last year and it is not even showing a sign of wear or scratch despite the abuse it goes through.
Really nice work there!
But I wonder, how do you make these 8-wire braids?

You take the wire on the left, cross it over five, and then back under two. Then you take the farthest one of the right, move it over five, and then back under two. You repeat this, and eventually you get a very cool square braid. Hope that helps
