So that part is like an ebony extension?

I guess... Longer the better, so they say?

I prefer girth over length

this is headcase, go for both, go Tice

What does the magnet do? 

sorts the 0s and 1s.

Added a balanced termination to a stock Senn cable

If anyone has some cheap extra grills I would be interested...

Ran across a spare pair of 580 grills that are yours if you want them.

Quick question: can you take out the LEMO and XLR connectors from the Sennheiser HD800 balanced cable and reuse them for another cable or are they glued?

figured I'd post this here, no other appropriate place.

had some old ribbon nordost rca cables that I wanted to use for xlr duty. ended up using copper braid for ground because it conforms to the ribbon shape well:


seems to work without issue so I'm content. I'm considering similarly covering up the ugly kinks in some goertz cables:



is there anything you can do to keep the braid from oxidizing?

Does anyone know someone that might be willing to "balance" a set of J-cable A-T headphones? Either keep it a J and use a TRRS cable (need the verify it isn't this way already), or convert it to a Y. Just looking to farm out the work

Anyone have a short stereo mini phono to stereo mini phono lying around? I'd like to buy it for my jobsite rig.

You would want two short mini plugs wouldn't you.

Apparently HD800 cables are not bunny proof why couldn't the bunny have worked on the power cables not a few feet from the headphones?

Bunnies and cables is a special kind of hell. 

Even scarier

Just eat it.

But not too soon, unless it'll taste oxygen free copper and teflon.

I made a cable

Truly lovely.  Is it for a soundbar?

No, it goes to this:

Nice!

I particularly like the heatshrink sleeving over the braid. That is really tough to do without melting the braid.

That makes way more sense.
