That looks badass, but microphonic as hell, I imagine.

 

[cyberspyder]

How so?

the shrink on the left and right leads leading into the driver housings is notorious for making lots of noise when it rubs together.
 
It does look very nice though!

The heatshrinked twisted wires are a bit microphonic but it doesn't really bother me. I barely hear it when it rubs against cotton but it's clearly audible when I run my finger across it.
 
EDIT: oh, the cables hardly ever touch when they're on so it's not a big problem.

Exactly. I think many of you guys are blowing this out of proportion. Instead of intentionally yrying to brush the wires up against clothing or running you fingers on it, put the phones on and listen. I barely hear anything because most of the time it's not touching anything but air. If these were portable phones and I was using them on the go, then maybe, but for home use or casual use, I really don't see a problem.

Again, just my two cents, what do I know :rolleyes:.

since my CLAS wont come in time for my Stacker II, I was forced - Forced I Say! to make a dual RCA LOD so I wouldnt have to stare at the stacker II for days waiting for the CLAS.   Life is hard.

Well I have to disagree. On mine the cables crossed each other and touched when I moved making unberable sounds. I guess it depends how soft the heatshink is but a softer material is much better.

If you've read my reply you would realize that my argument was directed towards the reasoning that using any heatshrink will cause microphonics without regard to the application at hand. I don't know about you but when I put a pair of phones on they usually stay on my head and thus the wires after the split never really touch anything. Certainly I will not unconsciously touch it with my hand. Therefore IMO I see no real reason why heatshrink should be shunned. Like you said there are many variants and a dozen suppliers, who knows?

Sorry I don't know where to ask this and didn't want to start a thread; is it possible to repair/replace a broken jack on a pair of UE700s? They were plugged into my laptop and someone stepped on them, snapping the jack off in the computer...How would i go about repairing this or is it just done?

 

[Mad Max]

You cut off the remains of the stock plug then remove some of the outer jacket.  Then you should have 3-4 exposed wires that are probably enamel-coated.  You burn off the enamel with a lighter carefully, tin the exposed copper, then you are ready to add a new plug.
One of the wires will most likely be red (right channel), but I'm not sure what the others will be (left channel and ground, but I don't know what colors).  If you have two wires that are the same color, those will be the ground wires which you solder both to the ground tab on the plug, red to the second smallest tab, then the remaining wire goes on the smallest tab.
Add epoxy and screw on the barrel and leave out to dry 25 hours.  Then you enjoy your music through them once more.  =]
 
There are threads around with pictures with this kind of thing if you search.
