Cable talk = OT

Top: ...a Game Boy Color. Unscathed orange shell because I love orange things, and pitch black buttons fron Kitsch-Bent. Got GBAmp and Pro Sound ready to be attached and soldered for some serious chiptune action. It is there because it is there.
Ooh, I'll have to pick up one of those cases.
Ooh, what did you do to your Hifi-m8? Looks sweet.

8-wire, flat, silver plated cable from China ($135) for my LCD2F.

8mm paracord climbing rope from Mountain Equipment Co-op ($9)
Remove the core from the rope, but leave one string in the sleeve as a leader. Melt the ends of the sleeve to prevent fraying. Note the 4-pin to 3-pin connections with a multi-meter, then de-solder the 4-pin plug. Slip on a piece of heat-shrink, pull the flat cable through the sleeve with the leader string, and re-assemble the 4-pin plug. Stick the heat-shrink at a comfortable point in the Y junction.
The silver cable is a little brighter than stock Audeze. The sleeving prevents tangling, reduces handling noise, and feels nice.
My "portable" is a 64Gb iPod touch 4 ($130 on Craigslist) running FLAC Player, and the sweet Centrance M8 ($700). Very happy with this set-up.
