recabling grado sr60 question

[MoxMonkey]

so i'm wanting to recable my grado sr60's in the near future. being someone who hates stupidly long lengths of cable when using them at school etc i was thinking what if I where to put a female mini plug somewhere about the middle of my chest as the end, then build various lengths of mini to mini based on the situation (at school, at home etc). would this cause any noticeable loss in sound quality do you think provided the cable and connectors are decent?

Thats a great idea... so the plug connector would be your "Y" junction? I like it!! You could even do it without opening up the earcups. Not difficult on a Grado, but not the easiest thing either. You would have to make sure you get the polarity right.

Stay away from rat-shack 1/8" TRS plugs. Poor connections inside. I bought 6 and only 2 were useable.... Intermittent contact on the 4. The 2 that were good I had to flow a BUNCH of solder down their center contact rivet.

Took me all night to troubleshoot the damn thing. I was

hehe yah i thought about doing it this way as opposed to doing the detachable cables at the cups, plus i'd do it all if i was going to do it as i'm sick of my cables continually being twisted that and having a big loop of wire in my pocket is a pain


hmmm patent for the idea me thinks

, now i just need money to get around to doing it. to many projects to fund first heh

do it at the cups, its annoying having a female 3.5 plug at ur chest

using 2x 2.5mm mono for each cup would be a good choice
