Here are is my set of sr225s with Kimber tcss in clear insulation.
Nice! You were able to track down the clear teflon version I see. My Vampire 20G is still on the reel, I haven't had the chance to make an actual cable with it yet, but it seemed pretty stiff when I was checking it out. I'll have to see how it feels when its off and braided together. I'd agree that neither is for the faint of heart on a headphone cable.

Great work Pars! You'll have to join us here more often

I just finished my first Grado recable on my SR-225.
The cable is XLO 26awg solid-core 6N 99.9999% pure copper in Teflon. It sounds wonderful, and I love the "pretty-in-pink" look (it's actually violet, but who cares).
The 1/4" plug is by Yarbo (same as my favorite RCA), it's the only 1/4" plug I found that actually uses Teflon dielectric, all the rest are hard plastic and not nearly as nice.

i like that cable...is it stiff or easy to bend? sometimes the thinner cables tend to be the stiffest...
i'm thinking about re-cabling my sr-60 to make them more portable-friendly (yeah yeah, i know some of you are wondering why the sr-60...but it's one of my favorite all-time headphones)...while i won't spend a lot for the cable. it's nice to see how they might look with a thin cable...

The cable is EXTREMELY thin and flexible, in fact it's so small that it's scary. Only after building it did I learn this. Next recable job, I'm opting for some tubing over it. I'm getting some nice cotton tubing that should be able to slip over this width of cable and then perhaps some nylon over it. It's very thin and if treated wrong, I'm afraid it'll break. It does sound wonderful though, a nice addition of detail over stock.
For SR60, I would recommend just going with SPC, cant' be beat for $10 total cost
Something I whipped together while preparing to recable my DT770s
Mind if I ask what you are going to use to recable your DT770s? I have a pair of DT770 Pro/250 ohm cans with the factory coiled cord that I MUST change. I can't stand the coiled cords, even though I've lived with it for almost 1.5 years now.

I used Gothams GAC-4 for that. If I would do it again, and I will I would use the thinner Canare star-quad and maybe even go dual entry. The Gotham for single entry is too thick.
