How do the silver cables improve the sound?

 
 

   
In theory, you should get a faster signal transfer and less coloured sound. In reality, it doesn't. xD

 
 
I also am not a big "believer" in significant sound difference between cables. However I can't really comment on this because I never actually listened to the headphones with the stock cable (which is also silver). I bought the headphones 2nd hand and the previous owner re-terminated the stock cable with a balanced connector. Because I don't have a balanced system I bought 2 different (aftermarket) cables from someone else.
 
Both of those cables sound very good, however I do get a bit of microphonics with them, which is why I ordered a much more robust, well-isolated cable (from Norne Audio). So once that cable gets here I'll really have too many cables, so one of the silver cables can go to a new home...

They look awesome! Where'd you get the solid silver wire from?

Ohhh, that's the bare wire you were showing me. What did you use for the sleeving?

I use tubing from redco but this works

That shop has heat shrink and sleeving so might as well buy some

Love the sticky tape job!

Hahaha not at all...
 
I mean the opposite side of the scale. I bought a beat-up old Model 1 dynamic drivers...  they are shipped from overseas so will take a couple of weeks until I actually have them.
 
The price was right and the novelty element cannot be denied.
 
I have been thinking of possibly installing drivers from a much better headphones... would that be doable do you think? maybe even a Jecklin-650... 

 
Nice work on that cable btw!

That is, of course, completely possible.

hmmmmm........... I'll let you know once I get them if you want to have a look

The shells are tad longer by a few mm and I can't cut it off since it's metal
 
The worst thing? The plug doesn't have holes for the grounds and the wire broke right after I cut the excess ones.
 
 
Can we pass those jecklin as a bike helmet?
