DIY recable dt990s what are my options for cable?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
im hoping to recable a pair of dt990s myself, or get a fellow head-fier who has a fair amount of experience soldering etc to help me out. my question is..im a bit of a newb on the topic so what are my basic options for cable? i know that moon audio simply sells cables that would be specifically designed to be installed onto beyers etc (ive looked quite extensively at the blue dragon as it seems closest suited to my musical tastes, rock, techno etc). from my understanding, this would already be terminated with whatever choice i wanted, and would simply require installation at the headphone end. alternatively..if 175 or whatever the price of a blue dragon comes out to is a little high for my tastes..can someone suggest something perhaps a tier lower? if we were to purchase just the bulk cable of choice and then put the termination on ourselves, would that end up being cheaper? if so, could someone suggest some decent cable that would suit my $$ and musical tasteS? cheers and i hope SOMEONE can offer some help, ive had trouble finding really relevant threads! thanx!!!

The cheapest Headphile re-cable for Beyers is $85 for 1 meter of BlackSilver cable. Is this more in your price range?

Ebay SPCs, solid silver/copper wires (plus your insulation of choice), CAT5/6 wires and any other pre-insulated wires will work out nice and cheap. Get some Nylon sleeves, adhesive heatshrink and a stereo plug to complete the package. Canare and Mogami starquad cables are popular for headphone recables too. Higher up the price range and along the BD, you have Cardas and Vampire cables.
