Question: I have a pair of Grado SR80s and the cable has shorts in two places. So I'm thinking of trying this as a solution.
1. Buy an IEM cable like this:

cut off the two plugs at end of cable. Cut the Grado cable short, right near the cup. Solder the cables together. Use heat-shrink tubing to cover the solder point.

Will this work? And will it be pretty easy? Is it just one wire in each half of the cable?

That would work, there are two wires per side.

So there's an audio wire and a ground wire on each side? And if so, how will I know which is audio and which is ground?

Anyone there who have tried the limited Oreo yet?

Which one do you mean?

Ground cable has the same color on both sides. For your replacement cable use a multimeter to check.

Yes, I agree...but test a GH2 and than compare him with the 325i......You‘ll be surprised!

In what way?

Thank you!

Love my RS2e, although i need to fix the cable. My left can will go in and out if i move the cable. Think the wiring is bad at the connector. But when working these are fun. Airy, open, clear and warm/hot. Been a fan since 2012 when i had my sr80i.

Love my RS2e. Don't think I will ever upgrade. Don't want to hear anything better either

I feel the way about my GH2's. Are there better Grado's? Probably. But I am super happy with mine.

Now, I do want to try the CFA Cascades and the Focal Elex's...

I will NEVER stop looking for "better". Since that term is relative, I am doomed to hunt forever.

I'm an addict like that too

Yeah, there's better everything. But musical truth, like other kinds of truth, come from many unexpected sources. My beloved GS3000 is a supreme piece of audiophile art, but it is only just a little better than my RS2e at communicating. The Rega Planar 3/Creek integrated/Akroyd speaker system I had in college made the HEART of the music come through as well as any of the megabuck systems I've had or set up or sold; pretty accurate sonically, but had a musical veritas that money can't guarantee, and which simple components often get very right.

That's a bogus distinction. Obviously headphones produce sound, or they'd be silent.

Have you ever heard of "reproduction"?
