Hi guys.  I'm in desperate need to reterminated my D7000 to balanced.  Anyone local to Orange County CA willing to help out? Also, you will be compensated for a fair price for your time (I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules here).
 
Thanks

Some more IEM cable goodness for you folks. I actually like the black more than the clear I've been using these days. These are all for TF.10's. I just came up with a brilliant idea: Use the mahogany close to what Grado uses as trim pieces! How cool would that be! I could make a matched set to go with someone's RS or GS series Grados.

Wow that's a lot of cable. How do you find the flexibility of the L-4E6S? For me I got pretty tired of the thing coiling up in weird ways so I removed the thick rubber insulation and the braid, it's pretty pliable now :)
Also, neat recable job. Well done :)

Ouhhh.. I ve ordered 10 ft of this Mogami Miniquad and the Neutrik plug. In my opinion the Canare, you are speaking about should almost have the same flexibility.
 
Nevertheless I ve made a cable for another headfier with a multifill sleeving and Sennheiser plugs. Personally, I dont need the Multifill sleeving and I like the colors of the Mogami :).
 
All in all this was a $15 job and it works flawlessly.
 
Concerning the original coiled cable, this was really horror for me because it was just too new :) and too stiff. A maximum of 1 metres to the amp was allowed :)..

What wire is this? Do you use discovery globals' pins or you make it yourself?
 

 
28AWG Neotech 6N UPOCC silver (used to be top tier wire) This is before the 7N UPOCC made it's way to the market so I got a good deal on a BUNCH of this. (I could probably cable half the TF.10 owners + 1/4 of the Grado owners here). It's just a hobby of mine though.
 
I have them custom made and plated for me. They come out to like a dollar apiece! No expenses spared for my Head-Fi brethren!

Many talented people on here.
Here's  cable I made for LCD-2, silver plated copper 22awg in teflon 4 wires for each channel. Sounds better to my ears than stock ADZ-5.
