thanks colonel altho im still having some problems braiding it tight enough ^^;

 

[xnothingpoetic]

I ordered some 4 feet of jena labs 18 gage wire today.

Hope it turns out nice!

Have to remake my ER-4S 75ohm Pod because the last one was unintentionally yanked

ok so i checked the wires i have at work, they have TFE on them, no P in front though. is this still good?

 

[drizek]

Well its just basic plastic. The navships wire is going to be more durable.

I'm pretty sure it's the same thing. In any case, it's still real teflon.

koike i really like the crystal cable.. it look so shinny, so tidy, and so..clean.


for repairing headphone voice coil, i not sure either i shall post here or not. some one please enlighten me so i can move it to appropriate place.


This happen when i am hand itchy wanna re-cable Stax cable on my KSC75. and i carelessly wipe the voice coil with my soldering iron as a result of heavy coughing.... hence the voice coil is detached from the terminal.. and it's burned..

therefore, i decieded to reattach the voice coil by opening it.

All things that i opened, including KSC75, Stax SR-X, Aego 2 Satelite driver.

Stax SR-X driver, the round things is membrane, while the gold colour places is stator.

Aego 2 Driver
Magnet detached, voice coil dented.

Front view of Satelite, note that AEGO M no longer using this KOI audio's driver.
it's triangle eh.. =P




HERE COMES THE KSC75

Membrane, and the internal (magnet & Spider) of the driver.

Heck it's actually transparent..

It's still in perfect form (i didn't dent it) while i take it out.

Impedance test on the driver itself..
my multimeter has an error or +0.3 ohm
so the driver voice coil impedance is 58.3 ohm to be exact.
however, i assume that the terminal parts does provide some impedance to make it 60 ohm in total.

Successfully attached the voice coil back to the terminal.

Front look of the membrane after reattach back to the spider (housing)


Good things is after fixing the voice coil. the sound signature doesn't change at all. no distortion i can hear even amp it loud, really loud.
and it's still kicking hard on my head now.. nice.

@pcwork

I wish I had your skilz.

I tried a few days ago to recable my KSC75 and I killed it with my soldering iron as well. I ended up just beating them with a hammer in frustration instead of being able to fix them like you.

I only remembered Koss Lifetime Warranty after I had beaten them into pieces. Does the warranty cover these sorts of things?

A friend of mine gaved me a MX300 which one side of the earphone has extremely low volume, and distorts when play.
therefore, i open it up..

the interior of MX300

and i found out that the problems is due to 3 factor.
1. the membrane is poked in, i don't know how they actually do this. perhaps heat.
2. voice coil is not align properly to magnet, hence the voice coil is actually touching magnet, and cannot move freely. and causing a lot of distortion, low volume.
3. the voice coil contact point to soldering place is oxidized.

after carefully poke out and reshape the membrane. here it goes =P

and i carefully pull out the voice coil...

reattach the membrane and voice coil back in to the spider and magnet.

another look of it. =)
and it's alive and kicking in my ear now. =P

Nice job on the MX300 fixup. :O
