February 17, 200818 yr I just got the word that Cardas is going to start selling the unterminated plugs for the Sennheisers if you want to build your own cables. Contact me if you want to get some. Here's a picture. The price will be $32 a pair + $3 shipping in the US
February 17, 200818 yr no idea. $60? I just dont want another $200 chord. I'm rocking the stock chord right now...much better flexibility than my old Cardas. And the Cardas was too short. Plus I'd rather have something softer than the techflex type conduit of other designs.
February 17, 200818 yr Author $60? What length? I'm thinking probably not once you pay for the parts & shipping from the supplier, to me, then to you from me plus a buck or two for my trouble. It's not too hard to do, don't you want to give it a try yourself?
February 18, 200818 yr The satisfaction of knowing you're making exactly what you want is unbeatable. It's a great feeling making whatever cables you need when you need something too. Just wondering if these Senn plugs come with covers, or if you just epoxy them up and heatshrink over it.
February 18, 200818 yr Me + soldering = fail I'm not really sure how much star quad HD650 wires would fetch; $60 was just a wild ass guess. How much is typical for those? If its much more, I figure just get A Pure Sound, since everyone seems to be raving about them. I just figured there more economical wires out there. But I freely admit, I have no idea what price point they would be.
February 18, 200818 yr lol, I forgot to mention, the cost of the connector was not part of my $60 guess.
February 22, 200818 yr hopefully cardas will make unterminated plugs for OII headphone so that ken at ALO can put his jena pink cable on my OII for $400. thanks.
February 22, 200818 yr $400 is not enough. Ken charges extra for one off cables, so expect it to be at least $600.
February 22, 200818 yr $400 is not enough. Ken charges extra for one off cables, so expect it to be at least $600. posty was making a joke, and you ruined it!!!
February 22, 200818 yr I wasn't serious either. I've never spoken to Ken before, so I don't know how much he charges.
February 26, 200818 yr hopefully cardas will make unterminated plugs for OII headphone so that ken at ALO can put his jena pink cable on my OII for $400. thanks. the SR-007 has the cable soldered directly to the stators via very thin pieces of silver foil. The "connector" looking thing is simply for strain relief.
February 26, 200818 yr the SR-007 has the cable soldered directly to the stators via very thin pieces of silver foil. The "connector" looking thing is simply for strain relief. He could make a cable for the SR-Omega though...
February 26, 200818 yr He could make a cable for the SR-Omega though... I was hoping more along the lines of the Stax SR001-MK2 portable system I mean afterall, his forte seems to be in cables for portable rigs right?
February 26, 200818 yr I was hoping more along the lines of the Stax SR001-MK2 portable system I mean afterall, his forte seems to be in cables for portable rigs right? Yeah the SR-001/3 cable is much too small in diameter. A nice 18AWG Jena Labs is a necessary upgrade, it's so cool looking and easy to manage.
February 27, 200818 yr have you ever tried the ALO Jena cables... on weed? Yes, it exceeded the limits of audio goodness and became bad.
February 27, 200818 yr Well... I suppose those could be useful if there is ever a shortage of HD650 cables again. For over double the price of a stock cable I am willing to spend the few seconds to get the plugs off myself.

Yeah but then you'll have an extra solder connection and an ugly bump on your cable where the joint is.
February 27, 200818 yr Yeah but then you'll have an extra solder connection and an ugly bump on your cable where the joint is. A few seconds with the dremel and problem solved. No splicing needed. ...now there will be lots of DIY Senn cables on HeadFi
