Just finished -- DT48e re-cable

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

I decided to re-cable the DT48e's that I got a couple of weeks ago.  I still need to get new pads and then I think they will be pretty good.

After 3 tries I got the braid right.

The wire is shielded 22ga.  I found about 50ft of it at work and thought I would give it a try.  My only complaint is that it is very microphonic.  I may cover it with some tech flex when I put a better plug on it later.  

 

It may be just my brain tricking me but I do think that they sound a little more detailed than the stock cable.  It just seems that there are little things that I do not remember hearing before coming through now.  All I know for sure is Alison Krauss has never sounded better.

Considering their current state, new pads will astonish you.
