Hi,
After about 8 months of use, the strain releif on my NuForce NE-7Ms broke so the cable is taking all of the abuse. I've decided to reterminate them and I've hit a small snag. I carefully stripped the outer insulation to reveal 4 wires (28awg or something). It appears that each of the 4 wires is twisted around a non-conductive cloth/nylon.
One of the wires (I assume that it is the ground) has its own white insulation (copper inside)
Another appears to be bare copper
The last two look like they're anodized red and blue (maybe copper?)
Anyways, the problem is that I can't get my multimeter to read anything from the section i stripped to the plug conductors. I want to swap the 4 conductor plug that came with it for a Neutrik mini (3 conductor). The headphones were working just fine before I did any work on them.
Is my multimeter not sensitive enough? I thought it could at least read some resistance...? ($25 craftsman: http://www.craftsman.com/shc/s/p_101...lectrical+Shop)
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated
