Anybody having tried (and succeeded

) to build a replacement cable for HD600s, of a quality comparable to the Cardas and Equinox stuff?

If so, how exactly? Which were the "raw materials" used?

I wonder if one could obtain the big improvement without having to spend 150$ or more

Thanks!

I havn't done this, but IIRC, the only way to terminate the headphone end is to buy a replacement cable and chop off the rest of the cable.

OK, but what kind of replacement cable to buy?

Should I buy, let's say, a Grado extension cable, cut off one end and solder the Sennheiser plugs (which I would have previously cut from the stock cable)?

Or should I rather buy a determined length of "raw" cable (WHICH ONE??? this is the question

) then solder at one end a headphone jack and to the other end the Sennheiser plugs?

I;m not sure if this will help you but i read somewhere that the part of the hd600 plug that goes to the headphone is the integrated w/ the rest of the cable so you wont be able to get the plugs separately.

cardas seems be the better one ... im making my own tho .. even with the clou cable the sound was more open and lively

Thanks everybody... but now that I just learned that Meier Audio will be soon selling a new Sennheiser replacement cable at an affordable price, I will definitelygo for that one
