Going to Recable SR80. Anything I need to know?

[johnanderson]

So I bought a broken pair of SR80's for $20 and I'm definitely going to have to recable them since the previous owner sliced up the original cable. I'm just wondering if theres anything special I need to do? I've recabled my hd201's before and it was a pretty easy procedure. The only thing I'm uncertain about is how the housing is fixed on? I've heard that grado uses hot glue to keep the housing on. Is there anything special I need to do to put them back on? I don't really want to change how they sound. Anyways, here are some pics of the headphones. Oh, and let me know if anyone thinks theyre beyond repair.

Ok, just got them yesterday and I think I can definitely fix them. Might be another issue if one of the speakers is blown or broken though. Anyways, is there anything you guys would recommend I do while I have them apart that would improve the sound. Currently all my phones are sounding a little bright so I'm looking for something a little more mellow.

The Flat pads will tame the highs compared to the Bowls that I believe you have with them. BTW, were the photos really taken in 2003 or was it just the wrong date setting on the camera?

Probably the wrong date. Those arent actually my photos, theyre the sellers.
