Just finished it last night.  New cable for my modified Grados.

  Hello, carbon cables are very difficult to solder > Van den Hul cables. Every good OFC cable works fine, but thats your choice. Best Regards

 
Yup. You really have to crimp the carbon inside a pin and solder the pin. You'd also need metal shielding or a balanced connection not to have noise issues in many cases.

i don't know if it the case for you guys, but all those different connections, input, output are driving me crazy!!!
 
I Mainly use:
 
Sony ZX2 --> 3.5mm TRRS
Schiit Lyr2 --> 6.3mm TRS
Aune B1 --> 3.5mm TRS
Alo Audio CDM --> 2.5mm TRRS
 
it is difficult to use all those pieces of equipments with all my headphones...
 
So i decided to make all my headphones cables universal.
 
for the headphone connection, i decided to go with the Audeze LCD wiring:
 

 
and for the termination of the headphone cable, i will use Mini XLR 4 pins male.
 

 
 
then, i will build adapters to work with all my different equipment:
 
Mini XLR 4 pins Female to 6.3 TRS (unbalanced)
Mini XLR 4 pins Female to 3.5 TRS (unbalanced)
Mini XLR 4 pins Female to 3.5 TRRS (balanced)
Mini XLR 4 pins Female to 2.5 TRRS (balanced)
 

 
 
I manage to complete 1 headphone cable and 1 adapter yesterday:
 
 
 

 
i used 8 strands of 24AWG
 
4 strands of Pure Silver plated copper
4 strands of Pure Copper
 
all the connectors are Rean Tiny XLR
 

 
viablue Y split
 

 
Viablue 6.3mm T6s
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
the audeze LCD2 connection!
 
 
It is working perfectly!!!
 
i started modify my others headphone in order to keep the same type of cable:
 
SennGrado with i a whiplash cable i bought for the audeze!
 

 


Still lot of work to do...
 
but glad of this progress

Finished another 8 strand 3.5mm interconnect. This time, I grouped the wires in pairs and wove them in a flat braid. The wire portion is around 1.5 inches long.

I really like the look of that braid as well Here's one of my attempts. What wire were you using for yours?

  What wire were you using for yours? 
 

 
I used some silver plated OCC wire I purchased at the Oyaide store in Japan. The outer diameter is roughly 0.8mm.
