I have a few question as I am a newbie to this stuff.

I am looking into accuring some Senn HD600's and I was wondering about cables for both the Senn's and my pcdp. How much of an improvement would I get if I replaced the cables on the 600's and is there a guide for making cables?

The general consensus is that changing the cable does significantly effect the sound. I also warn you that the HD-600's are quite a pain to make cables for, you have to sacerfice your stock cable to make one. Then, just replace the wire, canare star grounded wires are all the rage lately at head-fi, solder the senn connectors at one end, and a nice plug at the other.

I really doubt cables are the number one priority in your system, you didn't mention having any sort of amp, which undoubtly will effect the sound more than any cable upgrades. Something like a CMOY (A basic DIY amp, many head-fi'ers construct these things in their spare time) would probably improve the sound more overall.

Any reason why you're using HD-600's on a PCDP? They're extremely open, and would be bothersome to anyone in your general area when you're listening to music, and you would really have to crank it up to drown out the ambience. Have you consitered the ety4 p's at all? They make an exelent match with a PCDP.

sorry for the confusion, but I want to make mini - mini cables, and MAYBE buy other cbles to replace the sock HD600 ones. And as for an amp, i plan to buy or even buuild a meta42.

The same canare cabling is supposed to work pretty well with mini connectors, all you'd have to do is solder it on to the ends of it. It shouldn't be too hard to do
