Robert has a site where he's doing recabling and other things.
I had a pair of headphones that I needed recabled with a specific cable that wasn't one of his (long story, it's for a gift, color was important).
Anywho, he still did the job, did it for a very reasonable fee and even did door-to-door service - way above and beyond. Also completely took them apart (they were vintage headphones) and thoroughly cleaned them.
The work was really first-rate - very impressive.
He also gave me some CD scratch powder stuff that was also supposed to make CDs sound better. I'm not a big believer in stuff like this - definitely not inclined to believe it... but it definitely cleaned up some little scratches and.. i think it is actually improving their sound. I have no real way of knowing if this is in fact the case, maybe it's totally psycho-suggestive but it seems to be improving them, albeit slightly, in a whole host of ways (better definition, reduced sibilance, etc.) I don't know if there's a scientific reason for this (anti-static?) but I think I'm hearing an improvement (I'm using disc I know really well - I'll have to find two identical disks and treat one an A-B). In any case, it's cleaned them up physically.
But back to the task at hand, the re-cabling, it was absolutely first-rate and the transaction was spot-on and frankly ideal.
