bought some psychedelic uv reactive techflex! i just had to just make something!

I wish I had your skilz.

I tried a few days ago to recable my KSC75 and I killed it with my soldering iron as well. I ended up just beating them with a hammer in frustration instead of being able to fix them like you.

I only remembered Koss Lifetime Warranty after I had beaten them into pieces. Does the warranty cover these sorts of things?

A friend of mine gaved me a MX300 which one side of the earphone has extremely low volume, and distorts when play.
therefore, i open it up..


the interior of MX300


and i found out that the problems is due to 3 factor.
1. the membrane is poked in, i don't know how they actually do this. perhaps heat.
2. voice coil is not align properly to magnet, hence the voice coil is actually touching magnet, and cannot move freely. and causing a lot of distortion, low volume.
3. the voice coil contact point to soldering place is oxidized.


after carefully poke out and reshape the membrane. here it goes =P


and i carefully pull out the voice coil...



reattach the membrane and voice coil back in to the spider and magnet.



another look of it. =)
and it's alive and kicking in my ear now. =P

Nice job on the MX300 fixup. :O

[Soymilk]

that's a nice cable you made there. is there any point to using so many wires other than being able to braid it in different ways?

[PcWork]

@ Fungi : Thanks a lot =)
@ Soymilk : to reduce the impedance. and each cable is actually cut cross the ground channel, so my aim is to reduce the skin-conductor effect.
however, i do hear a improvement over sound, perhaps due to the total gauge is increased. so i am happy with it. better sound, nicer look.

[mminutel]

Very nice work as always. I am incredibly impressed with your braiding techniques. I am thinking about not using techflex anymore, because your cables look great without them.

Using more wires would also decrease the risk of it breaking. If you only use 1 wires for signal/ground it will fail to work if any of those wires break. This is unlikely to happen. I also like being able to feel that my cable is secure.

[MusicallySilent]

Yea your braid is very nice....

Question from a new person: How do you hook up in the jacks is one color for one channel and 1 for the other or like how do you take all those wires and where do you put them in the jacks since you have left right and ground?
