hello,

sorry for my bad english.

I have a DT880 and I would like to change my stock cable for more details, more stage and more full bass.

someone has tested these cables whit the Beyer?

where can I buy the Zu mobius cable per Feet?
I find It only in Japan for 50$(2.5m)

thanks a lot,
Thibault

I do not know about Zu Cable, but the Mogami W2893 Miniature Quad should provide you with everything you are looking for sound wise at a very good price.

Some Diyer replace their DT880 with Cardas cable(4x24), and they're easy to source.

Or you can try Moon Audio's Silver or Blue Dragon, Silver Dragon w/HD600 is the best in my case.

I've also tried some SPC cable from eBay w/K340, they're nice but not as good as "good" silver wires.

ZU's cable are stiff cables, I don't like them use with headphones.

You may drop a mail to Moon Audio, you can find them at head fi's sponsors.

Moon also provide bulk cardas cable for headphones.

Not Moon's, just some fine silver wires. Sorry, my mistake.

Best,

Pal

 

[cantsleep]

to me, out of three; cardas, silver plated copper, and canare, i think the cardas sound about the best, very nice cable, IMO

 

[siezien]

thanks, I sent a mail, I 'am waiting for the answer to buy per feet.

sorry but an other one question...
to change the cable, there are some solutions if I understand well
1. change all cable until ears (as your DT880 cantsleep)
2. change the cable part since 1/4 plug, cut the stock cable about 2 feet from ears and connect whit 1 neutrik XLR as this one or that's for headphone amp whit XLR heaphone plug

what is the difference between this method and full recabling?
whit this method I can try more cables without problems but 2 feets of stock cables behind the good cable it's not very good...?

sorry I'am newbee and very bad in english

The best, soldering the wires direct to the drivers. But please soldering with careful.

Use XLRs? I don't think that will be a good idea. Because these connectors are heavy. Heavy cables will let you feel uncomfortable during listening.

I've seem some mini XLR, you can find them on AKG's 271. They're small and not heavy.

Or you can try to find some silver wires and litz brain them, but you can find many head-fier choose Cardas with DT880.

There're need some tips with soldering Cardas cables, you can find the tips in this fourm. (Sorry, I don't remember where they are.)

Hope these inputs can help you.

BTW, your English is fine. I'm not good enough in English, too.
