That's funny...lol...everything is faked these days! Oyaide connectors are really good though. I'll grab some and let you guys know the differences!

Hey guys, i know this isnt a gallery related question but its definately not worth its own thread. 
 
Im just wondering, if it was possible to take a mike, say in a bluetooth receiver, and essentially snip the wire connecting the mike to the reciever, and add a female 3.5mm jack, to which I could then plug in a mike to that jack whenever I liked? 
 
Or is this not really possible? If need be feel free to pm me so to not clog up or derail the thread. Thanks, DD.

You can get iPhone/Blackberry/Android/etc. compatible corded mic adaptors for $5 or so in the US, and even cheaper through Deal Extreme type places. They do more or less what you want out of the box (plug it into your phone, plug your headset into the mic adaptor, and now you can talk on your phone through your favorite headphones). They're also going to be easier to take apart and rebuild to your purposes.

I posted a picture of this IEM cable a while ago with a pair of moded DBA 02's attached. But, the huge cable entry into the Valab 3.5 always bothered me. So I thought I would de solder the jack and try to do something about it. So, I stuck a couple of rubber O rings inside the barrel and a stainless washer to top it off.
 
Whilst the jack was off I thought I would replace the clear shrink tube splitter with a Carbon Fibre and aluminium one :D
 
I also thought I would post the pics here as no one I know on 'the outside' would have even a vauge interest in any of this :C

Very nice job.  Once I free up some more play money, I am going to try to make some carbon fiber/aluminum shells for 1/4" plugs like you have done with the splitter.

Thanks FraGGleR. I look forward to seeing those. The Carbon isnt nearly as tricky to work with as I thought it would be.

Very nice job on the Y split and jack, Luke.
