I'm looking at recabling my k701s and figured I might go fanicier than my typical Mogami 2534. I was thinking of Cardas 4 X 24 but I've never physically handled the wire. Since this will be be for a headphone cable I need something manageable (Mogami is already on the edge of what I can tolerate). Can anyone comment on it's flexiblity compared to the stock AKG cable, stock Grado cable or Mogami 2534 since I"m familiar with all them.

it's not as flexible as the AKG cable but perfectly adequate as headphone cable. I haven't tried the Mogami or the stock Grado cable.

what about the mogami W2893, it seem lighter and more flexible than the 2534. Electrical spec are not as good as the 2534, but I don't think the difference is audible.

Which electrical spec should you aim for when choosing cable?
Since I cannot find Cardas Starquad here in Sweden, I must find an alternative that is as good as Cardas for my DT-770.

Do you think this one's a worthy alternative to the Cardas cable?
