apatN,
You can write grandenigma1 and double-check, but I think it's braided beneath the nylon jacket before coming out at the Y in two twisted pairs.

You might want to talk with Bryan at Zynsonix about the braidability of this wire, too.

not sure...but at least it's stranded, not solid like the Neotech stuff?!
I got it from Whiplash : http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f149/n...r-wire-392889/

I'm from France, so making it at a meeting might prove to be somewhat difficult

if you look at the some of the solid coppper stuff from scootermafia : Double Helix Cables

you could almost hang cloths on them

Yeah I saw them. My plan is to leave the braid uncovered however and not cover it with 2 layers of sleeving like scootermafia does. In general I think the DH cables are too thick and stiff.

UP-OCC recabled K501 v. stock DT880/2003

VERY Preliminary Impressions:

"Kodachrome" (Paul Simon)
Just a bit more tingle and finish to cymbal strikes with the DT880 ("Kodachrome" is a great "cymbals" track), and more cavernousness to the bass.

The Beyers are "airier" sounding on both the treble and bass ends, but that's not to be confused with a larger sense of spaciousness, either, where the K501 better the DT880. The K501 sound more saturated with midrange detail. The DT880 sound kind of takes you away, removes you, while the K501 come down to the ground with you and whisper in your ear (if that makes any sense).
