Ive decided to try to fix these and try to grab another set of headphones instead. Maybe some grados or senns. A new set of cans should be more fun as well.

Quote: Ill give them a call and ask about this in a little bit.

I dont know if i can justify a $150 cable for a $200 set of headphones.

I have had my ATH-A900's for almost 4 years now. They have been giving me problems for the last year or so. Last summer i sent them back to audiotechnica to be repaired. The repair came out to ~$100. They replaced all cables, pads and brackets that hold the cans.   However now I'm having...

Hello, i was looking to order some sleeve for an upcoming project. I'm unsure of how the mesh should fit and such. Im looking to cover two cables that are 23awg in diameter. So i want to know the suggested mesh sleeving size, and what size heat shrink to terminate it with?

What do you use to hold cables as you solder? I'm looking for ideas as i need something, my searches came up short. Thanks.

Alright, i ordered 10' of each, ill get some cable from nav when he comes back from vacation.

Shameless bump to first page ;/

I am looking to make my own Y splitter for my headphones so it will be going into a 3.5mm plug, but im stuck on the cable options. I have managed to narrow it down to three options. Mogami 2799 Canare L-4E5C Or the silver coated copper from navships on ebay. Anyone have any input on this?

When i got my se530s i was so scared taking off the spacers they came with. I called sure to see if there was something i was missing, i was so scared to break them ;/

Yea - i went and saw it in person - i didnt see it working. Thanks for the input.

I have the ability to buy a 50" spool of this cable Monster Cable - 50' Mini-Spool Speaker Wire - XPMS-50 for a good price. I wanted to know if it would be acceptable to use to make some cables out of. Mostly for a mini to mini interconnect. Thanks.

Anyone have any suggestions or best and cheapest way to mail it back to them? If not it'll just go USPS international.

I saw someone with a pair of e4cs today - i had my 530s in

I was about to post the same topic. I have a pair of a900s, but i would like some more bass. I have a small portable amp i can use so ill see where it goes.

I would be all over some grados if they had closed cans ;/

I don't think they would benefit much from an amp. I would save the money and save for your next pair of cans.

Got the headphones from service today, just want to list the info in case someone else searches it at a later point. The broken arm was $4.90, but i needed a bunch of other stuff as well. They basically rebuilt my headphones. Price as follows. Labor was $60 The replacement headband...

Seems the sound in the right side has gone out, they will be going out to service in the morning.

Well, a few weeks ago i was taking my headphones off of my head and i heard a crack. With that crack came a sinking feeling in my stomach and i feared the worst. Luckily it was only the plastic that holds the cans on the right side (see picture below) that broke. I then proceeded to glue this...

I just tried to order a pair of Shure SE530s from them directly, it’s been about a week and my credit card was only charged $1 and then refunded. I proceeded to send them an e-mail and I was informed that the se530s were on backorder with no ETA... Is it possible that they are phasing...
