Mandrakespain, try making an adapter using a right angled neutrik and a female 1/4"th plug. dont forget to include 8" of cable in between.

are you kidding? i have some canare f12s and they suck!
no holes for the cables to be solder to, only small taps, making them really fragile to bumps and shocks.
i have resoldered mine so many times it has almost given me vietnam flashbacks.

just bought some heavy duty 1/4 female neutrik jacks though, and they were so well thought out it almost made me cry

Ultrasone compatible threaded mini plugs are available at Quables:

Qables | High Quality Custom Made Qables

But are pretty steep at $6.28 each, without an external barrel. You have to buy a Neutrik barrel or use heatshrink.

I'd love to find a source for a complete plug, and even better at a better price.

Can anyone find a purchasing link for the Supra MP8? I want to use them when I recable my headphones. I found websites with them, but they don't have pricing. Thanks!

I completely agree, I have yet to have any trouble with even the cheapest Neutrik jacks/plugs (except for the nickel plated rca plugs not being colored and not having any red heatshrink on hand).

ummm do you realize how many thousands of different wires there are?? the task of putting together that thread would be HUGE and plus one piece of bare silver or copper wire or even teflon covered wire looks like another. only the brand name ones with recognizable sleeving are easier do differentiate

 

[luumage]

nvm

 

[Peyotero]

Yeah I'm having some problems with Neutrik/Rean aswell. Loose jack, channel cut off when moved etc...

(I used Mogami 2534 cable). I purchased another neutrik plug to replace it, and yet I am still having the same problem. Are there any 3.5mm plugs that fit VERY tightly?

yep; the neutrik is quite a loose fitting mini, the only thing it has going for it IMO is its small size. combine that with a thickish cable and you have a recipe for loosened jacks. have you got techflex on the mogami too?? because that would be a reasonably thick and stiff cable. if you are going to use mogami for HP's probably better using the mini-quad or using a switchcraft mini of course, but there is a chance that the switchcraft would just loosen the jack further if its stiff quite stiff
