Hey Head-Fi,
My Yuin PK3's have had some cabling issues and stopped working. This is the second pair I've gone through in a few years, and I decided to recable a pair instead of purchasing a new one. I found a short guide with pictures here: http://www.sgheadphones.net/index.php?showtopic=9311&mode=threaded&pid=106296
I have several questions regarding the process, and I hope someone can provide some answers. I have fairly good soldering skills, but actually lack ANY equipment (iron, multimeter, etc...) at the moment.
1. I assume I need solder, soldering iron, multimeter, shrink warp, wire, and a 3.5mm end. Is there anything I am missing?
2. The guide uses MOGAMI 2893 MiniQuad cabling. I think I found it here http://www.redco.com/shopexd.asp?id=505, however I'm not sure if it is the same type. He said he removed the jacketing, which I assume is the rubber exterior?
3. Does the cable come twisted like that? I'm not sure if it comes with all 4 cables bundled like that. Also, the website indicates you can choose a color, yet the pictures show several different colors.
4. I am also having difficulty finding the 3.5mm terminate (Neutrik Tiny Plug). Any recommendations on where to find these?
I registered and messaged the original poster of that forum, but it is 2 years old and I assume that I may not receive an answer.
Thanks for your time.
