cables for christmas eve. some cables made for Santa.


final work. all using canare (F-10, F-15, L-2T2S, LV-61S) and of course, WBT 4% AG solder. 1st try and not bad, just they have some excessive flux when melted.


as usual, a pair of RCA-RCA with marking for unidirectional purposes


a pair of 1/4 MONO-RCA for EMU1212M


close up for mono-rca, Canare F-15


coax cable with 75ohm digital cable

that's all, merry christmas guys~

p/s: Santa, i seriously need a good camera. an DSLR will do, please :lol:

Default Re-cabled Beyerdynamic DT-880 (Old school)




Now all I need to complete its transformation are a new pair of pads and headband assembly.

I love those pads! Any idea what else they would fit? I'd love to buy them if you replace them

You wouldn't want those 20+-year-old pads! Besides the loss of volume, one of them has a bit of tears already.
