Hello! Please bear with me, I am new here.   I was given a pair of used Cambridge Soundworks M80s a few years back by my pops. I brought 'em home, and tested them out with my wicked old (still good though!) Aiwa P80/C80 amp setup (top & bottom on this...

I'll check that out, thanks for the info!

New guy here, go easy. I've just gotten myself some Grado 225i's, and so far I love the sound. But the design, the plastic, and most of all the cheap cable annoys me. I'm looking for a cloth (cotton sheathed) cable that would work with the Grados. If it were a 1-sided connection on these cans...
