Vsonic GR07 MKII change plug

Hi,

 

I've been pulling the cord too much, and soon lost signal in the left IEM. So I'm changing the plug with a L shaped Neutrik plug. But I was met by 5 different ones when I cut the cable open. What is what here? The right one is ground I guess? Blue and dark-brown/grey is L and R? So what are the two white/silver colored ones..?

Did you try contacting Brian from BTG Audio? IIRC, he helped a Head-Fi member recable a GR07, so he should have some insight.

To me looks like 2 positives and 3 shields. One shield is an actual shield, the other 2 are drain wires for easier / improved termination.
No too hard to strip back and touch connectors to a low level signal to check

2 shields 2 positives. 1 of each pr drive. There are 4 sleeved and one open, I'm assuming the open one is just for protection of the other 4 (the 'one' is wrapped around the other 4 inside the outer sleeving).

Can't figure out what is what though. Usually dark color is ground yes?

Color is just color. 

 

In a speaker cable there is + and -, for headphones its commonly + and shield.

 

The shield is earthed to remove any RF from the signal. I think what you're unclear on is the difference between - and shield. When using 4 cores and a shield, its common to leave the shield connected at the device end, but not connected at the driver end. The ground cables need to be connected to create the circuit. Does what I've said make any sense?

 

As you can't just open up the IEM like you can with Cans, I'd wait for V-Sonic or another member with more relevant knowledge
