Newbie here, Hi,I have just bought a pair of Alpha SDH-7 vintage headphones (Tokyo, Japan) on ebay for 99p and £1.95 postage and packaging, I have never heard of the company or the headphones, but I loved the look of them. Anyway, as they were so cheap, and look so cool, Iam going to re-wire them, unless they sound fantastic as they are, which I doubt, they havent even arrived yet, anyway, I would like to know from anyone in the know, can you use ordinary speaker cable to re-wire headphones. I have done some surfing for headphone cable on the net and it seems the prices of some of these cables are ridiculously high, any advice would be most welcome. Cheers, Shaun. A picture of said cans should be my avatar if it worked!

Speaker wires are 2-conductor(and headphones need at least 3, 4 preferred). I'd suggest you get Canare L-4E6S(pretty cheap, $0.30-0.50 per foot) and some 3.5/6.3mm plug(Neutrik make great plugs)
