Finally finished my recable on my Grado's. I installed mono jacks inside the cups incase I ever want different cables. It is Blue Mogami with Carbon Techflex over it with Via blue plugs. I know there are some flaws in it but It looks nice and is the length I want!

 
 

 
Very nice! What size techflex did you use? Which mogami?

6mm i believe  
 
and for the techflex it was 1/8" Fits very tight. But shows threw very well 
 
Also can you edit the pics out of the quote. Its quite annoying to scroll threw them all.

Just recabled my 780s for a second time and used 18AWG Vampire Wire. Terminated with a 4 pin Neutrik XLR and then made an XLR to switch craft mini.

To those who use that monofilament techflex, do you find that it add anything but stiffnes to the cable?

Slightly, not very noticeable.

What size techflex are most of you guys using for recabling? Are you stripping the coating on the wires or leaving them on and sliding the techflex over it?

I like to use 3/16^th nylon multifilament for Mogami mini-quad and the bigger, regular sized Star-quad variants. I don’t strip the outer insulation layer off as I feel the cable is better protected and will be more durable with it left on. Furthermore, I wouldn’t have to contend with the braid fraying all over the place, making it nearly impossible not to spear your sleeving open with sliding it on. However, I do strip it for the portion after the Y (or V, remember you heard that term here first) then cover it with paracord.

So if you are using a mini-quad you leave all 4 wires in the cable even though you are only using 3?

Usually each pair in the cable is wired to each driver so you end up with 2 grounds, a left channel signal, and a right channel signal.  If the cable is being terminated to a TRS connector, the ground conductors from each driver are wired together within the plug to the ground connection.

You should use two wires for ground, and make them meet only at the connector end of the headphone cable.
 
This is where I buy techflex.

Yep, that way I don't have to bother adding an extra wire to act as the ground for the second driver.

O I C. Im doing a recable for a gaming headset so the left, right, mic and 3 grounds will terminate on a female trrs jack and I will have a removable cable with a male trrs on one end split into two 3.5mm. Im just wondering what size I need to fit everything and if I need to pull the individual wires out of the quad or just leave it.

you need better strain relief in the lod end or they will break very soon.

Thanks,
I did not add this to post the wire and heat shrink was hot glued down, it was 3AM when I finished and took images
I hope it is locked it in place like the ALO I inspected ....
