So, I just got my HD428S last week and I've already done the bass mod, which I need to redo it since it's a little too muddy. Besides that, I want to do a detachable cable mod. I've already figured out how I'm going to mount the female jack and I hope that goes well for me, but I have some questions.
I believe I'm going to be using all Neutrik Rean connectors for the project. I've been looking around and the slim female inline jack looks to be perfect but that brings me to my first problem. What cable should I use that has an OD of 4mm or less? I would like to run a new cable in the headphone itself, atleast to the solder pad. The slim connector accepts up to OD of 4mm.
I also plan on using paracord to add some color to the cable itself. I'm not worried about the increased OD of the cable since I'll being using larger OD male jacks. I've been looking at using Type III paracord but wanted other suggestions. I like the look of the denim paracord from Planet Paracord.
So for the only cables I've really found that come close to what I want is the Canare L4E5C, Mogami W2893, and Gotham 4/1 mini. So far, only the Gotham was thin enough at an OD of 3.8mm but it isn't available through marker tec, which is where I'm getting the rest of the supplies through.
What suggestions do you guys have for me when it comes to picking cable? Worse case scenario, I believe I'll use the stock cable to connect to the female jack and probably use the Mogami for the male to male cable.
