Ah darn lol. Anyone know a good place for US purchases of stranded 24-26 gauge silver?


Plussound audio in Los Angeles. Can order off their website or ebay. Pure stranded silver won't be cheap though. I think theirs is $6.50 a foot.

Solid core is too stuff and prone to breakage

Nice looking.
 
That Y split must be deceptive.  It doesn't look long though from the pictures.

actually it  is not Y slitter but chin slider... the Y splitter is the other one which is looks thick.

Hi, I've bought a pair of Sennheiser MX 760 earbuds which I like the sound of, but the cable is too long, has bulky interconnector and is full of wrinkles.
I was thinking to replace just the extension cord, which would be non destructive, the other option would be to replace the cable until above the Y splitter, joining the old cable with the new cable in a new Y splitter.

 
I would like to do a thin cable which doesn't wrinkle, with a small 3.5mm jack. I don't care for a solid Y splitter (i.e. could be just shrinkable tube).
I like the look of teflon/nylon sleeves, but am also open for paracord or shrinkable tube housing like the one audiofreakie used.
 
The buds costed 27$ so I was looking for a way to make a cable for under that price.
I'm looking for guidance and suggestions on materials which are accessible for someone living in Europe and which satisfy the requisites.
 
Thanks
