Wow this is a really good deal, isn't it? I havn't see them drop this low yet.

What a lot of people including myself has been to use Neutrik Right Angle Jacks and not use the sleeve. You glue together the two halves. http://www.redco.com/Neutrik-NTP3RC-B.html    

  That is one gorgeous connector! I would probably recommend trying their new 3.5GT1   http://www.norneaudio.com/litzheim/Norne-Audio-Beyerdynamic-T1-Gen-2-Eidolic-3-5mm-diy-connector   Seems like that has the longest shank. ;)

  I recommended this to someone who has the M-80 and they said it worked. Don't know about the M-100.    http://www.redco.com/Amphenol-KS3PC-Extended-Collar.html   You might want to give them a try?

That looks great! Functional and sentimental at the same time.

OH man that looks great. Is the new jack much shinier than the older ones? And also, how was working with the Pistons? Did you crack them open and solder directly onto the driver or did you just cut the cable and solder wire to wire?

  No I haven't tried them yet but those look amazing... I hope redco change their stock to these or adds them to their inventory. Thats where I usually get my aphenol's from.    These are them here...

Here is my first attempt at a custom cable for my SE215 and a bare wiire braid.    

  Yeah you definitely can't pull the out if its any decent length of a cable. You're going to want to take a knife and run it down the length of the cable just deep enough to cut the rubber.

Put the old cable aside and pick up some Mogami, take the sleeving off and put that through the paracord. If you are planning to put all 4 strands in one sleeve then you're looking for 550 paracord. You're also going to need some connectors for the two ends. I suggest Aphenol.  ...

This is either very DIY or very Ghetto but very functional and cheap.         2 ft. of oak, 2 nuts and bolts and an old T-shirt.   5.18 @ Home Depot

They just replied to the email I sent to their support.    Their price for the drivers are: Part Number: 952283 – DT990 250 Ohm Driver - $56.28 each, plus $15.00 standard UPS shipping and handling.   If I get only one driver will there be a difference in sound? My pair is well over 10...

Where can I get in touch with this Michael from Beyer? I am in need of a driver or 2..

yeah, this is a bit of a pickle..    How much would a pair of broken 770's or 880's run me? I don't see a pair anywhere on ebay but maybe i'm not looking correctly..   Which phones have the same drivers as the 990's 250 ohm? I would need one which is also 250 ohm right?

zz... and its not like a replacement driver would be cheap... crap..
