I don't know whether it was, but it might be
interesting to see what percentage of owners of high-end cans
have recabled or will be recable their cans in the near future with the help of experts,
e.g. diy'ers, HeadRoom, .... or by yourself.

If you recabled in the past or recable in the near future at least one of your headphones vote 'Yes'.
If you own several high-end and/or low-end cans, and you have recabled just one of them, vote 'Yes'.

I you haven't recabled and you don't plan to recable your cans vote 'No'.

If you are not sure whether you will recable any of your cans in the near future vote 'I'm not sure'.

Also if you own headphones which are all, say, under $50, click on 'My cans aren't suitable for recabling'.

Other: Recabled only one set of cans (KSC-75s) and although they cost under $50 it was well worth the cost and effort, and they are certainly worthy of re-cabling.

I have no plans to recable at all. Spending on source upgrades, speaker setup and gettign further into vintage, esoteric, homemade and other electrostatic headphones negate the possibility entirely. Besides, the only headphones I have worth doign it to are my HD650 and im already very happy with how they sound.

Cans aren't worth re-cabling (for the most part) unless you're using a pretty high-end system, otheriwse the difference isn't very noticeable. It's just like buying expensive audio cables.

I won't sht on the thread, but I need to ask:

Is the "Cables, Power, Tweaks, Speakers, Accessories (DBT-Free Forum)" invisible to some people, or is it just not very popular so few know it exists?

I've recabled my k340 and I'm planning on doing a diy cable for my hd650.

 

[nikongod]

i have "recabled" lots of stuffs.

grado rs-2.
akg k-340
although i did not recable them, my k-1000's are recabled.
senheizer hd-595
all sorts of fun phones...

the stock cable is typpically good for catching under a rolly-chair-wheel, and destroying. even if you dont do it by accident.

 

[mulveling]

I have recabled in the past, but haven't recently and almost certainly won't in the future.

I broke the plug on my AKG 81 djs so I recabled them with a half decent 3.5 to RCA cable. I shortened the length to about 50 cm so It could be used with my remote (cowon X5)

I think this thread could actually go in either the "cables" or the "headphones" forums, but I've moved it for you.

As soon as I sell my old sound card, I am going to get a Grace52 for my HD650.

Can I just sign this statement as if I wrote it? huh? please?

 

[digitalmind]

Will be recabling my DT770's soon, but just because it's a coiled cable that's annoying me. I don't think I'll be able to hear a difference caused by cables.

 

[darkninja67]

I will probably look for a premium cable for my HD600s in the near future.
