I changed the cable on my Sony MDR-7506 to a Canare L-4E5C to integrate a microphone. Now I get significant microphonics in the left earpad. Is there anything I can do to mitigate this? If not then maybe a different cable would. The stock cable didn't have this issue. It was very a very...

Really? Is no one willing to assist with this? Not even point me in the right direction? Replicating this device is 100% safe and even if there was any risk involved, I am an adult and I am able to make my own decisions with regards to my own health. Holding back from helping me out of some...

Thanks for the link to the patent. There is nothing dangerous about replicating this device unless you think that standing in front of gigantic speakers and taking in all the bass for a prolonged time at a concert can be harmful. The guy who invented this device made his first prototype out...

Funny thing... those plastic splitters like the Viablue one are more expensive per splitter than buying 4 feet of adhesive-lined heatshrink for 15 USD. They are much bulkier too. The idea came from cyberspyder on this forum. You can achieve this Y shape by using pliers while heating the...

This is the medical device : http://www.dymedso.ca/site_usa/patient/en/frequencer_v2_easy_to_use.htm You can hear what it sounds like here : This paper describes how it works (Page 10) : http://www.dymedso.ca/pdf/White%20paper_rev0_Sept20_041.pdf The above document contains a lot of...

Do these pictures help? I have the grommets sitting under the plugs on mine. They couldn't fit over the thick heat shrink and I couldn't be bothered to enlarge the hole. I also like the look better that way.

Everything is fine. I fetched a pair of old SkullCandy earbuds I had completely forgotten about and they do the same thing. I'm relieved. I guess I'm a little bit paranoid about messing things up since I've never done this before.

I just cut the cable above the coil on my Sony MDR-7506 and installed an Amphenol plug. When I turn the sound up and down while something is playing, I hear a short static click. What could be the issue? Edit : Actually it seems to happen while playing this ...

I messed up applying 4:1 adhesive-lined heat shrink. Any tip on removing it? Make a cut and heat it up? Or is it going to be too messy and I best leave it there even if it's not to my taste? I figured out now that I should heat up the side I want to keep in place first...

Edit : Oh, I saw that you already know about all of that. I don't think anything could ever be square with 16 strands unless you do a square braid with 8 strands where you double up the strands. Try "kumihimo 16 strand" on google. This is the best I can think of. I don't know how cables will...

Alright. I ordered 12 feet of Canare L-4E5C. Thanks a lot for helping me decide Paladin79!   I have not decided yet how I want to mod my headphones. Beware, your mind is about to be blown away by mad photoshop skills.   A) I cut the straight end of the stock cable and solder it to the...

I don't think I have ever encountered a cat 5 cable that I found to be particularly flexible. I have 5 of them here, all stranded and with seemingly different build quality and they would be too stiff for my taste. What about heat shrink? Do you know of any kind that is known for being very...

The idea would be to have the standard 3 conductors go to the headphones. I would make a slit in the cable about 6 to 8 inches from the headphones and pull out 2 cables that I would hook up to a female jack for the microphone. Then I would use heat shrink to secure the female jack against the...

I mean the braid inside a cable. I know that there are various types of braid. Does the type of braid make a difference when it comes to flexibility? I would like to avoid stripping the cable if that is possible. I don't like the idea of paracord because fabric is too difficult to clean and...

Thanks for your post, but what I mean is how does the jacket material, braiding, diameter, general construction of the cable affect the flexibility of the cable? What are upsides, downsides of using certain types of jackets, braiding, constructions? This is what I want to know.
