Recable all cables, and removed cotton. Still bruning the new cable.

Cool, did you bypass the electronics for the dynamic driver?

Cool

Another kind of adapter has born. They are called "Paranoid Adapters". They are just built by me, this morning. They sound incredible with my SMV3 and Ipod. What a difference, to build your cables yourself.

1/4 to mini. Very useful when you have big plug headphones and want to connect them to a portable amp.

It relieves the stress, out of the mini jacks, so all the weight of the 1/4's is not over the mini jacks. Usually portable's mini jacks are a little weak.

In some other cases, these adapters fit better than the stock ones, when the mini jacks are too close to each other. Portable amps are expensive, so you need to take care of every detail. That's why I called them "Paranoid Adapters".

This isn't really a discussion topic, but the 1/4 to 1/8 as an adapter cable is pretty common, grado and sennheiser both ship them...

Here is the new and improved 650 cable! Same materials inside different materials and style outside. It does look much better in real life then in the picture, but this is the best I could do. Let me know what you guys think.

Once I was done with the 650 cable I decided to put the stock cable to good use. As some of you remember I also recabled a pair of MDR-V6's. I put that stock plug to use too.







I decided to recable my Koss KSC75's since I wanted a little longer cable then stock and I am addicted. That and had extra stock stuff laying around . Let me know what you guys/girls think.
