My stock LCD-2 cables are noisy from wear near the molded flexible section and wanted to shorten the cable and resolder to a standard switchcraft mini connector.
I have some spare TA3/TA5s that I use for other audio work/repairs and am hoping to take apart the molded connectors, shorten the cable ends and resolder to the existing TA4 using a switchcraft connector twist on black cover.

My main concern is how difficult the cables are to deal with once I cut the cable. Are they as tiny and difficult as Sony 7506 cables, or are they a little easier to work with?

Has any one worked on these cables? I know most people build their own or purchase custom ones. I may build my own if I have to, but thought I'd try this first since I have some free time at home.

Turns out internal 4pin part of connector on this molded connection is not interchangeable with the switchcraft ones.
Will order some switchcraft TA4s. Wire is fortunately easy to work with unlike the 7506's I rewired.
