Just a quick question: I'm planning to buy 26awg 7n copper form Toxic Cablefor my headphones. I also plan to make RCA to RCA or 3.5mm to RCA, is 26 AWG still suiltable for RCAs?

26 is good, i usually use 22 and 24 though. It depends how long your wire will go.

Are you saying the longer it is, the 'fatter' the cable should be? In this case, what is the max lenghth befor I have to move up to 24awg?
Look up Toxic Cables (Frank)..... He's a top bloke and has some sweet silver wire for DIY. Track back on this thread, he's posted here a lot.
Yes, T50p and DT1350 are easy to work with. Well, so I think.
You could even use 24awg wires if you wanted to. Just be very, very careful when prying out the driver and baffle. Someone left photos of his recable here. The baffles have a notch to help you realign them properly. It is actually a bit more difficult to put the drivers/baffles back in properly than to remove them. I used a very small flat-head screwdriver to pry out the baffle.
Edit: DT1350's innards
Does anybody know of any hi-end 4 pin XLRs (male and female) such as Furatech?

I tried out Timber Creek paracord that I bought locally from Academy Outdoor and Sports above the y-split. You can't tell from the photo, but the paracord melted a bit with the heat a few millimeters above the y-split. It remains intact, just that it's now a semi-fully-solid piece of nylon tubing rather than braid, lol. Wimpy and not as neat or durable as the mil-spec paracord that I usually get. Below the y-split I am using navy blue mil-spec paracord. The Timber Creek paracord is a smaller diameter from the Type-III paracord, suitable for two 2893 or 2534 conductors at a time.

Awesome. Thanks. I'm getting sick of having to wrap up the extra cord length in velcro all the time. Since I only use these for portable use - it's time to fix that. I haven't decided if I'll do a detachable mod yet - I suppose it depends on how much room I have in there.
