Hi,
 
The problem is at the connection between the headphones mini jack and the player, where you get partial disconnect. I am sure others have experienced this at some point. I used to have the same problem before, but with cheaper earbuds.
 
But I can't believe this has happened to my ortofon eq7..
 
I don't have the warranty(as this was from a second hand purchase), or do I have the willingness to ship it to the opposite wide of the globe for repair even if there was one.
 
Is there a good solution to this? I don't have any experience with DIY(soldering, etc) or am I willing to experiment with this expensive pair of phones. 
 
Are there are sponsors of this forum (or any respected individual head-fier) who actually do repair service, at a reasonable charge? If so, I would be definitely be interested.
 
Thanks very much..

I am sure someone will solder it for you, if you ask around (the DIY section may yield better results) It's not too hard to borrow a soldering iron form a local uni. student and re-terminate it yourself. To me, it's not really worth the shipping to have someone else do it for you.
 
Alternatively, you can see if there is a local hackerspace. I'm sure one of those people would be glad to assist you.

Thanks. Where would be a good sponsor/person/shop on head-fi to have this done professionally? I am ok with shipping it out.
