I love all of the work everyone has been doing here!

I'm just getting ready to start my first ever recable as well for my ATH-AD700's

I'm adding a mic and removable cable and the whole big deal!  I can;t wait to get started.  All I'm waiting on is a TRRS and 2 TRS jacks that can hold the diameter of my Canare starquad cable (6mm I think)

 

Hopefully I can put my work up here some day soon gs1000.gif

Which females jacks are you using on the headphones to plug the cables into?

oh I'm looking for male plugs for the end of the cable to go into my astro mixamp and my PC 1/8" plugs.

It was between Pailiccs TRS or XLO HT TRS, but the HT's are 6.50 a piece and the pailiccs are 2 a piece.  I didnt know if there even were any TRRS male plugs that have a 6mm+ cable opening?

 

Thanks for responding

 

Sorry I get mixed up with plugs vs jacks and all that jazz haha

Does anyone know where i could get a C7 Plug? Just like the one on the Audioengine A5.

 

I don't need an entire cable, just the plug/connector.

The one Furutech sells is too expensive for me.

I believe Furutech is the only one on the market currently.

If it's for personal use you could try something like this.

I don't need anything fancy that's $50+.

 

Just something like $5-10 will do.

 

I could cut the C7 plug , but that'll end up really ugly.

Places like Alibaba has it, if i search "C7 Plug Audio", but minimum purchase is a bulk of 500. popcorn.gif

 

Thanks for the link, i haven't seen it, but i was going to do the exact same thing.

 

Too bad the page still didn't help me locate that C7 plug.

you could always buy a cable and sacrifice the cord.

Hi guys.

I bought a FiiO e11 amplifier for my Koss Dj100 headphones that will arrive next week...

I need a cable 3.5mm to 3.5mm both male to connect the player with the amplifier,but on internet i found only the 20cm+ ones...

I would like to keep my player and amplifier together with a very short cable, how i saw on some of your posts.

The problem is that i don't know how to make a cable myself,well i watched some videos and tutorials but still not sure.

1.I need 2x 3.5mm male jacks,but which ones?plated in gold?

2.About the cable, i have no ideea at all...

 

I found some jacks and cables but i'm not sure about the cables....

 

 

Here are the links to the shop i found them.

 

Cables http://www.strumentimusicali.net/default.php/cPath/117_119_369/Cavi-Audio-ed-Adattatori/Cavo-a-Metro.html

Jacks   http://www.strumentimusicali.net/default.php/cPath/117_119_368/Cavi-Audio-ed-Adattatori/Connettori.html

 

It's in Italian,as i am from Italy,hope u can understand the info...

 

Thanks a lot

FiiO makes one, if you don't want to make your own.

I know about that,but with shipping it will end in 20 euros or so...

It's so hard to find something you need here in italy >.>

If you don't already have a soldering iron, and some supplies around, it's going to cost you a lot more to make one.

Convince an alibaba merchant to send you a sample.

Edit: Also, there are IEC to C7 adapters. Next time that you search, use power instead of audio.

Check markertek. Use smaller gauge wires.

I took your advice and sent a few emails asking for a sample as though i was from some large company.

 

The search "power" did help me a little more. I don't like using adapters, i like a pure single cord signal transmission.
