Hi, 

Can you help with completely recabling some old Sony earbuds? MDR-E4, 2 series where the wires to the cases are thinner. I'm new and have less ideas where to start. Do you know where to buy quality material, soft core, also good quality 3.5 plugs (the more similar to Sony Japan plugs, the better)? 

Thanks in advance!

Anyone ever use navships silver plated 24awg 19 strand to make a 3.5mm cable? If so how is it?

24 AWG Silver Teflon Wire Assortment 50 feet 19 strand

I use navships sometimes
The Teflon insulation is quite stiff
The 26 awg 19 strand is best imho
It slides into 95 paracord wicked easy
And it's almost as flexible as the Mogami
It's Uncle Sam issue and Uncle Sam buys the best
That means it very high quality stuff

Not really, Uncle Sam buys from the lowest bidder that meets the specifications desired, even if it doesn't have superior build quality to other suppliers.

Anyone?

I have just bought 32AWG silver teflon wire. Still waiting (shipp to Poland about 3-4 weeks).

  I want to make a new balanced cable for my HE-560's and I've read a lot about people using Mogami W2893 and Canare L-4E6S. It's pretty hard to come by Canare cable where I live and Mogami is nearly impossible (pricing also considered). I do have some Sommer Cable Peacock cable lying around from which I can take out the conductors. I know the T1's also use this cable but I was wondering if there is a big reason to go with the Canare or Mogami over the Sommer Cable? Im asking only about the conductors themselves since I'm going to individually sleeve them and then braid them.

Cables can be compared sonically only if some had all these three and able to compare side by side. Ears are only judge, unless one believe in measurement (I have no exposure to it).
 
I have compared Canare and Mogami, could not hear any difference and never have experienced difference when headphone cable is changed. Form my experience Power cord make most impact to sound, then comes Interconnectors, but Headphone cables for me did not make any difference at all. I have tried DIY OCC, OFC and Litz cables along with 600$+ aftermarket headphone cables, could not hear any difference. 
 
from the link, not sure if Sommer is OFC or OCC. Make sure it is high quality copper, has no cold joints when built (soldered) and use it with confidence, nothing to loose or gain.
 
 
it would be difficult to answer you question,

Can someone help me with this? Are there inventory sony cables for this project somewhere? Can't find them on Ebay, nut this would be the best solution. Wires without the housings, oldschool, behind the neck profile ones. If not, basically I would need some advice if I can find 4 core and 2 core quality wires for this matter. I have two Sony models which need rewiring, please help if you can. Thanks

Is 24 awg 19 strand too big for 3.5mm?

No.

 

[Arty McGhee]

  Is 24 awg 19 strand too big for 3.5mm?

not at all i just find it to be a bit stiffer
i find the 26 to be more flexible to my liking
its all personal preference, its not a question
of too big or to small or right or wrong wire
try it and see

The gauge is sometimes indicative of the flexibility but not always. 26awg Mogami is flexible, but next to 24awg Nucleotide it is stiff as hell. It all comes down to the stiffness of the insulation and the strand count really, and then the gauge. 
 
btw, I have fallen in love with Nucleotide.
