Did you have any issues putting the nut on this from the inside?

some versions of that connector don't have a nut, they have wings that hold it there after it's been inserted all the way. When I have use the one with a locking nut, I don't use the nut I epoxy instead.

Thanks. Mine has a nut. I am able to get a couple spins so it looks like it will work. Now soldering those damn epoxy coated wires is a different story.

Always replace the enameled wires when doing this, they are junk.

I am going to re-do mine with non-coated 20 or 22g wires. I can't stand the thought of a poorly soldered joint inside my cans! Thanks.

Spent the last two nights doing the mod. Made a couple of mistakes from trying to rush. Soldered it all up and forgot the nut on the inside. Used the MJ-073H jack from Newark which has the retaining nut on the underside of the jack.
 
Soldering the stock coated hair wires is a royal pain. I decided to use some 18 or 20g copper stranded wires and that was much easier. Problem is the wires are too thick and take up too much space in the cup with the white padding material installed.
 
 Did everyone used thicker wires put the white padding that sits on the bottom of the cup back in place?
 
Anyway, here is the result. Came out very nice.

Mine has a nut and threads. The nut is inside the cup.

With my custom headphone cable. Amphenol stepped plug-KS3PC-AU and Mogami 2893 cable. Sounds great!

That looks great!  Gotta love dem Amphenols.

I like amphenol so much more than Rean (well, the 3.5mm connectors).

Oh yeah. Nice finish, high quality. And now a days a stepped down design is a must for smartphones, etc.

[Mad Max]

You goofed the right channel connection in the cup.

Re solder your connections.

I'm pretty sure I put each wire in the right place, so it's just my bad solder job with the red wire? I was afraid of it being too squished in there.
