FraGGleR, that black and silver combo is pretty neat. Yeah it does make it look a little bulky though but hey it looks awesome.

momomo6789, another question in regards to your rca cables. That silver wire looks a lot thicker though but hey I believe you its just my eyes and the early morning playing tricks on me.

-Do rca cables only need three wires? or is there four on each cable?

I would like to add I have no idea about making rca cables, and thus I would consult a separate thread for in depth explanations, I just wanted to ask this quick question.

Thanks. That's neat how you braided that copper on top of the silver. I wonder if the braid stays nice together or if over time bunches up or messes up. I guess it stays in place.

Nice job to both of you, I am jealous. Been ordering supplies recently so when I get back in town from my business trip I will have some projects in front of me

you could use as many wires or just 2 if you wanted to for rca's

no flash

Wow the no flash picture it is really snazzy. Those connectors look real nice too, looks like the say oyio...something on them. Either way I usually don't like the polished metal look too much, but those look nice.

Thanks for the info on the rca, so was the two copper strands for grounds and the other silver strand was for your signal?

agreed on viablue; highly overrated IMO

really?
I think they're overpriced, but IO haven't really seen them hyped much. (not saying it didn't happen, of course, just that I missed it.)
I got three, and they are REALLY easy to solder, and I have no idea how the ground tab could snap off. It's like, 1/10 of an inch thick or something.
And I actually love the strain relief. it has much less wiggle than any other I've used. (I was using sleeved l4e6s though, so that probably made it really tight. But you could still wrap any cable in some tape of something to get the same tightness.)

I recently recabled my HD238 to use in my portable setup. It features a 4 foot recable using a tri-braid of Cardas 21 gauge wire in teflon, sleeved with nylon multifilament. Termination is the Ultralink 2.0.

It's really cramped on the inside of the headphone. I had to use adhesive rather than a zip tie to secure the cable inside, and had to remove one of the screw mounts completely to accommodate the larger wire. There's a small circuit board on the inside of the headphone that splits the ground which was removed as well.

Some digital cables I made using some "super secret" military coax.

Surprisingly great-sounding power cord using borrowed heavy-duty braid shield.

I believe those are Oyaide connectors. Oyaide's a fairly high end supplier in Japan. Looks very nice Momomo.

MoMoMo, what kind of wire are you using?

As always from the father of this thread, very nice, clean work.

for which pic ?

 

[LingLing1337]

On the (I think) BNC cables.

I hope this is the right place to post. srh840 is my first can and this is the first headphone I've recable because I want to use non-coil cable sometime. also a fun thing to do. I also made a 3.5mm interconnect for it did not make it a balanced mod because I don't have nor in near future have balanced equipment. I just want to use 3.5mm cable

ALO 24 awg silver plated cable replaced all the internal cable. 2.5mm socket is replaced with neutrick 3.5 gold plated jack.

Here is my first handmade interconnect made of Mogami 2534 and Netrick 3.5mm connected to the phone.

belden -> vw bnc's
solid core silver -> oyaide bnc's i can look up what wire it was been a month or so since i bought it.
