DIY Cable Gallery!!

[Oink1]

My MS1 recable (Silver plated copper with i believe a Canare F-12 - Black Techflex over chrome for max *Bling* Built by HiGHFLYiN9 in the US - Fitted by me in the 'lil old UK!

Drivers parted with a combination of the boiled water/spoon method (Water not for the faint of heart!)





Very pleased with the outcome - The charecteristics of the cable have given the low frequencys a boost with no loss of speed/attack and tamed the highs a little making bowls the ideal pad - No need for the 414's now! Cheers Bryan!

Wooh the boiling water method, I almost forgot about that one. That would certainly take some cohones I went with the hairdryer.

Oh BTW the plug is a Canare F-12

It took a while for me to get my head around the faci i was about to place the drivers in boiled water - Water/electronics = Certain 'phone death! (Or so my brain kept telling me! )

I stand corrected - Now, about that stupid coiled mess on the Beyers.....

I use a heat gun:

I have a Milwaukee heat gun from Home Depot, but I usually prefer to use matches as the heating seems a little more controlled.

I use an Ungar 1095 dual heat gun.

when I first started using it I would melt the flex, especially on double flex sleeves that were loose fitting.

Its come to a skill now, just eye balling and knowing the melting points of the flex, lately Ive been placing my finger tips right next to the end of the shrink this prevents over heating,

there are other tricks you learn too, as flex can be reshaped, if it melts and becomes bulbous, you just reheat the flex and reform it.

Rewired a Beyer DT880 with Cardas wiring and a Switchcraft mini:

580 cable I did. 22gauge wire covered in teflon. Then shielded. Wires soldered directly to the pins. The shield is only used as a shield.
