Hey guys, I am new to the community.
I am honestly nearly certain I can do this. I don't really see what it could hurt. If I were to give it a shot, should I wire the tiny xlr's as I would an unbalanced rca to xlr interconnect? I just ordered 2 Viablue 3.5mm connectors, and 14 feet of Via Blue's "neon" braided cable sleeving. I have a pair of Audio Technica athm-50's and a pair of Grado sr80i's I am going to recable. I am not a big fan of soldering a jack onto either of these headphones, so I would like to just add a male/female jack inline to make a breakaway cable about 6"-1' from the cans.
Any ideas on what cable to use. I am not really sure if either of these cans are nice enough to merit high end cable so I could just modify the stock cables, use something like canare mini-quad, or I could go all out and order some cable from Double Helix Cables, or even possibly ordering some teflon coated silver cable. Just looking for some advice, I wouldn't want to spend $80+ on 36 feet of cable and not here a difference.
-Thanks!
