Everytime I order it I end up with the blue, maybe the suppliers have tons of old stock that they are sitting on. I'm sure that most normal people would prefer the gray. I'd personally be happy with some bright glossy orange or purple.... George Cardas I hope you're listening

Lil' Knight, where do you get your Vampire Wire from? Is it stranded?

Got it from Percy Audio Yep,it's stranded but quite stiff, even when compare with the bigger Jena 18g.

I would just like to say that I've spent the last hour drooling over the cables in this thread. I'm brand new to this, my background being in photography, so I have almost zero familiarity with this sort of thing, but the quality of the cables (and amps and etc etc etc) that you guys build is quite apparent and very impressive. Excellent stuff.

I tried to re-cable my Koss KSC75 just to find out that the entire housing is in fact the drivers! So I broke them by removing the chip like part inside the where the clip goes. So I tried to open them further and well you know the rest! ;P

Once you pull off the ear clips, that little dark gray plastic piece lifts off to give you access to the soldering terminals. Should only take a few seconds to get to to that point if you're doing it right. Don't hold me responsible if you pwn another pair though
