hi. the cable has split a little, revealing the wires inside on my sr325i's, both by the y joint and in the cup itself (the little seal where the wire holds onto the metal cups)

my grado's are still in warranty, and i still have the original receipt, but i've long since removed the buttons and paint and glue from the mesh and sanded down the grado logo on the plastic ring. i doubt grado will touch them, because of that...

anyway, is there any way i can try and fix this myself? and just out of interest are there any persons willing to handle a recable who lives near me

(just thought i'd ask)

thanks.

Simple...black electrical tape.

If you've already modded them that much, you could probably handle a recable yourself.

If you lived in the US, I know you could send them in to be fixed for a fee, but since you're in the UK it's probably easier to just recable it yourself or have someone local do it for you.

Electrical tape is more like a temporary solution that will only cover up the problem... The wires will eventually get worse where it's currently exposed.

You could sell them to me and I'd recable them and add them to my collection, lol.

But, on a more serious note, recabling is REALLY easy, I just recabled my friend's D1001s recently and there is nothing to it (I'm a 17-year old with no prior experience with modding electronics or soldering).

cool. could you post me some pics?

i think i'll try a re-cable. now, which cable do i choose? i would like a fabric wrapped cable, that hopefully doesn't tangle easily, and is quite thick.
