sweet job, not a fan of the yellow tho.
 
how is the Switchcraft right angle? I like how it looks but Im afraid it might be too bulky for a portable, have any comparison picts to see its real size? is it heavy?

I've got the Switchcraft 35HD right angle on my DHC recabled ATH-ESW9A, and while a little on the heftier side, its fine to use with my Fuze. It's got very solid construction, and was easy to work with when I decided to shorten the lenght of the cable.

Thanks to this thread and Joelby's step by step guide, I finally rewired my ESW9s.
 

 

 
Audio Technica ESW9
yellow Mogami mic cable
yellow shoe string
Switchcraft right angle
 
This was my first cable (I've only soldered one other thing in my life) and I was a little nervous opening up my woodies, but I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. The Y/split could be cleaner and I originally planned on using the shoe string over the entire cable but it wouldn't quite stretch enough. I like the way the Mogami covering looks well enough that it doesn't bother me though.

In my honest opinion these are the most eye-catching headphones ever posted in this thread. I love the design!

Hey Now,
 
I don't know. I bought a soldering station kit from Zorlac and he threw in all these different connectors and accessories. They are all metal with the bands being a tactile rubber.

Long delay due to personal problems, hope my customers don't kill me.













Some simple interconnects, a Sennheiser cable and a recabled Grado325i.

FWIW, this is where I pick up my multifilament: http://stores.ebay.com/FURRYLETTERS?_trksid=p4340.l2563

Awesome prices, service and quick shipping. I used to order from TakeFiveAudio, but they wanted double, and I couldn't take it any longer. You want the 'BRAIDED NYLON' products.

Lovely work as usual cyberspyder :)
 
It's been so long since buying multifilament I can't remember what sizes I bought. I like Mogami Neglex 2534 starquad for most things but if I wanted to make a headphone cable would I use 3/8 for the main part and 3/16 after the Y split? Any advice would be appreciated....

I actually like to use 3/16" (or one size up 1/4") for 2534, and paracord (1/8"?) for the parts after the split. Depends if you want a tighter (drawback is that you have to use more sleeving) or a looser weave in the end for the main potion.

Yes.

Looks awesome! Are you using a 3.5mm barrel for the "Y" split? I cant bring myself to waste a plug just to use the barrel for "Y"

Yep, but I pick up the cheapest REAN plug I could buy, the large opening nickel mono plugs (~$0.60), so it's not too bad. Compared to a larger, bulkier Viablue, it's a hell of a deal. LOL.

cyberspyder, those 6.3mm Viablues look fantastic. Where did you buy them from?
