Thanks. It's a trade secret, but if you do some hunting around on the internets, you may be able to find or develop a method to do it.

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.

I modded these more than a month ago. Credits go to AK[Zip] for helping clear up some technical questions prior to my picking the butcher's knife.





I have also done the screen mod:


Different lighting presents a much clearer view of the screen mod:

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.

/Chopha
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
