both signal paths remain the same length. Single sided, one (typically right) will always be longer.

What kind of difference does it make if one side is longer?

I don't believe you can send in your own K701s to be recabled, but have to buy them already recabled from them.

 

[klb2122]

you can send them in, at least to both moon audio and ALO.

i've spoken with both outfits. ALO's options are quite spendy, moon audio seems more reasonable for the work to be done. I;m still a few weeks away from a decision, so we'll see what else i find. Does anyone know of an outfit that recables with the cardas wire? or is that DYI? Does anyone know of any schematics to help guide in a DYI procedure?

i was wondering... where does all the cost go into the cables? Its like so much money... I know it makes a difference, but i only still see a long piece of metal lol.

 

[koconder]

any sources for jena cables in europe, united kindom to be specific?

Whoops, I meant you can't send them in to ALO. I think I read it in the ALO forums somewhere, but perhaps it has changed since then.

Couple photos showing 10ft Moon Black Dragon with split connection, looks like factory install. The cable is actually a gunmetal grey color with slight metallic sheen, looks good with AKG K701, got this done over 1 year ago.

I recently had Alex of APureSound recable my AKG K701. He used the V3 w/ dual side entry, a Furutech 1/4" plug, and the standard sleeving. Here is a picture. Oh, and the cable is 10 feet long.

How does the sound change withe apuresound V3 on the 701s? Was it worth it?

it has, you can, they charge a handsome sum but you can if you can manage it, which i dont think i can at the moment.

 

[klb2122]

do either of the above folks that submitted pics of their recables live in the NY-metro area? and if so would either be interested in meeting up so the qualities of the options can be experienced?

If you want to explore DIY options, this thread has an excellent overview of access to the wiring and what's what:

The thread is specific to balanced wiring but is very useful and straight forward to apply to single ended rewiring. If this seems to not be the case, perhaps DIY would best be left to others.

RAL Paradise Cryo-Silver w/the K701 leaves nothing to be desired. : )
