I had to buy a new standard cable for my HD580, the old one had interm. connections. So, now I have two spare connectors and I want to try to build a more esotic cable with them.
The connectors are molded to the cable so how can I detach them in a way I can still reuse for the new cable?
What sort of cable do you think is well suited for the project?
I guess I need some quad conductors cable. What about Straight Wire Symphony II?

Have you tried pulling the pins out with a pair of pliers?

Either solder on to the old connectors' wire (which seems pointless) or join us all in figuring out how to make a DIY Senn plug........lol

It was impossibile to pull the pins out. I cut the connector in half as precisely as possible along the molding line. I hope to manage to solder the pins to the new cable, put them back in the connector and glueing the two halves togheter. A bit of heatshrink tube and maybe I will get a connector not too hugly.
Any suggestion for the cable?

I recommend silver wire. Maybe "Diva Braid" from Homegrown Audio .
