Recommendations for new cables for PK1 please!
when i recabled my pk-1 buds i used i think around 30 gauge wire (spofhc from fleabay). the buds really suck to open, and they are not warrantied if you mess up, so you might think about trying to cut the wire and solder onto it instead of opening up the buds and soldering directly onto the speakers- pistolsnipe

new elastics for akg k240
akg replacements are avaliable but spendy, like 5 bucks each. lots of people here including myself use hair bands which are about 2 bucks for 50. to replace, lift the badge from the side of the cup using a knife, then everything comes apart with a screw- pistolsnipe
