@d0td0t

Yes, they are speaker cables
I'm not sure how many gauges? it's copper.
This is my first time DIY though...

PS. They sound great actually.

Made my first short mini-mini IC after cmoy tune-up (new jacks, SQ SO much better, surprised me) and wanting to go portable without a 6 foot IC bundled up in a rubber band.





Basic three conductor 26g spc, purple nylon monofilament, cheap, shiny Neutrik plugs (love those things).

I'm sure that's a portable amp (the black box on the left side, that is).

I'm attempting to recable a DT770 but I have no idea where to start. I want to do a cardas recable, but thats not a definite thing. Can anyone point me in the right direction? This will be my first project, so I'm in your hands

Thanks

Responded to your PM about the Beyer Recabling Terri. I did a tutorial on it a while back, but I'm not sure where it's gotten off to.
