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.

Are those pretty heavy on your ears now? I imagine they'd tug quite a bit
Niice . It sort of reminds me of that Moonaudio KSC-35 recable from awhile back.

my first pair of cables, 24awg silver plated copper with teflon insulation in a tri-braid covered in white techflex, switchcraft RA connectors, generic sub-mini for the headphone end
as for the sound, I knew i'd hear a difference, but i just never thought it'd be this much better, bulstered the low end, much less distortion at high volume levels, took away a lot of the muddiness i noticed in some tracks, better imaging, more detail, yadda yadda yadda, couldn't be happier with how they turned out, i think i'm hooked
go for it, its easy if you have any soldering experience, not to mention you can save yourself a ton of money, not to mention i had a blast doing it, i dunno, something very satisfy about pluging in something you just made and hearing how much better it sounds right away
Finally my HD580s have gone balanced! Now I just need to finish the amp
Specs:
Cable: Canare Starquad
Cover: Black techflex, red/black heatshrink on headphone end
Headphone end: Senn connectors from the group buy ground down with dremel, soldered, and glued. Not pretty but will sound better then any other solution.
Amp end: 4 pin Mini XLR. Talk about hard to work with. 4 Cables soldered onto contacts only 1mm appart.
