I just finished my first Grado recable on my SR-225.

The cable is XLO 26awg solid-core 6N 99.9999% pure copper in Teflon. It sounds wonderful, and I love the "pretty-in-pink" look

(it's actually violet, but who cares).

The 1/4" plug is by Yarbo (same as my favorite RCA), it's the only 1/4" plug I found that actually uses Teflon dielectric, all the rest are hard plastic and not nearly as nice.

i like that cable...is it stiff or easy to bend? sometimes the thinner cables tend to be the stiffest...

i'm thinking about re-cabling my sr-60 to make them more portable-friendly (yeah yeah, i know some of you are wondering why the sr-60...but it's one of my favorite all-time headphones)...while i won't spend a lot for the cable. it's nice to see how they might look with a thin cable...

The cable is EXTREMELY thin and flexible, in fact it's so small that it's scary. Only after building it did I learn this. Next recable job, I'm opting for some tubing over it. I'm getting some nice cotton tubing that should be able to slip over this width of cable and then perhaps some nylon over it. It's very thin and if treated wrong, I'm afraid it'll break. It does sound wonderful though, a nice addition of detail over stock.

For SR60, I would recommend just going with SPC, cant' be beat for $10 total cost

Mind if I ask what you are going to use to recable your DT770s? I have a pair of DT770 Pro/250 ohm cans with the factory coiled cord that I MUST change. I can't stand the coiled cords, even though I've lived with it for almost 1.5 years now.

I used Gothams GAC-4 for that. If I would do it again, and I will

I would use the thinner Canare star-quad and maybe even go dual entry. The Gotham for single entry is too thick.

will recabling sennheiser hd555's do any good?

BEAUTIFUL CABLES! So beautiful that i just ordered the parts to make them. They will match the Millett that I have almost completed very nicely!

Much Props!

I need to get some of those LOK plugs...the matte black finish on them looks spectacular!

 

[agutt]

It's fairly obvious from the wires, just take the wire on the edge and weave it under/over/etc. Just follow that picture.
