I was wondering if anyone has actually made the attempt to recable their HD595s. I've thought about it for ages, but I've been waiting for sennheiserusa to get the replacement part in stock so I don't have to use my own cable or try to make a connector like theirs (they told me it would be in stock last month but still nothing.
). I'm a bit worried that without some help, it might be a wasted effort, my shakey hands are like a fish out of water with soldering sometimes.
Yes, I know headroom does a recable, but I have no interest in spending that much money on a cable (that much money is almost always better spent elsewhere, and these aren't my primary cans any more), nor do I like that they do it as a "mystery upgrade" you send in and they hack - for something that is a user replacible part. Plus the cardas cable seems like it would be a bit heavy.
I'm not looking for a big sound upgrade, I just really hate the stock 595 cable.
I want to maintain the current sq or improve it a little, and have a cable that is actually managable.
(FYI, I know that headphile is mentioned in other posts in this forum as doing a 595 cable. He doesn't, it was a typo, I asked him a long time ago. I wish he did - I would probably go that route in a heartbeat. Larry is a great guy.)
I was mainly wondering if anyone had successfully done this recable and could post pictures/impressions, but any help is appreciated as well.
