^^this. You're going to need a lot more cable if you plan on seriously starting something.

 
I don't have much money to start with since i cant find stuff like OFC or UP-OCC or Mogami 2893 or SPC, in my country only thing I could find is Canare L4E6S which I guess will be like my budget recabling it's about 3$ a meter where im at also for sleeving using paracord will cost me approx 1.7$ for each headphone with average length of 1.5m. So around 7.7$ per headphone(1.5m) before buying connectors. Than the question is, how much should I charge for the service xD
 
Would most probably order some spools of ^above(UP-OCC etc...) cables to provide as a more or less premium recabling.

I'm not sure what country you live in, but these guys ship worldwide and their prices are very reasonable for high end wire, just need some teflon tubing.
 
90ft 6N OCC Solid core Silver
100ft 6N OCC Copper + 24k Gold plating
 
Good luck!

Sweet! Looking forward to your results :)
 
Keep in mind it's enameled so you'll have to use a solder pot, or a razor blade to shave it off on the ends.

Also keep in mind that it's solid core. Not sure what your plans are with it, but I can't think of a single scenario where I would want 100 ft of solid core. Let us know how it works out.

  How do you shield that stuff? It is conductive so you cant braid it like normal. 

 
You can buy teflon insulation and sleeve it yourself. It's just a huge PITA.

Teflon tubing, followed by whatever optional stuff you want like copper shielding, mylar etc.

Haha. Fun for me! Anyways, I'll cancel the order, wish they said it in the description, but I'm in the wrong here!
