September 21, 200817 yr comment_162964 Piss me off...I notice the sleeving on my Zu (Senn) cable has frayed/detached from the underlying cable (4-pin XLR termination). My own fault as I've been using the HD650-Zu quite actively these days as I've been using headphones a lot lately (with the Leben and LDVI). Is there (a) a simple way to fix this, or ( ghetto wrap it with duct or electrical tape? No, I'm not going to get a replacement, I'm pretty content with the Zu + Senn.

September 21, 200817 yr comment_162989 unscrew the connector, stretch out the techflex, pushing it back thru the rubber, use a single small cable tie to secure it. Report
September 22, 200817 yr Author comment_163141 Nate, appreciate the offer, but no need - KG's explanation was all I needed. (I was trying to disassemble it earlier, but didn't realize it's the metal part that twists off). Good as new now. Report

September 22, 200817 yr comment_163174 but is he a MOT?It would be my understand that the answer to that is only yes. All DIY = MOT! Report
September 22, 200817 yr Author comment_163198 from now on this will be referred to as the JimP (pronounced 'chimpee') mod. and JimP will always referred to himself in third person because that's what MOTs do. JimP believes the JimP Mod actually improves the cable sonics beyond their original state. So how much should JimP charge for the JimP Mod? Report
September 22, 200817 yr comment_163203 Where would I send cable to get half JimP mod? I cant afford full JimP mod nor do I feel that I can handle that far beyond original state... Report
September 22, 200817 yr comment_163204 Since this is clearly a microphonics reduction mod it should cost at least as much as the original cable. Report
September 22, 200817 yr Author comment_163209 ...to get half JimP mod?... would Pamela get half a boob job? would LD go with one fan design? sorry it's all or nothing Report

September 22, 200817 yr comment_163242 on a side note, don't zu cables have a life time warranty? Report
September 22, 200817 yr comment_163243 on a side note, don't zu cables have a life time warranty? Not once they have been modified. I don't think they offer a 4-pin XLR as a stock option. Report
September 23, 200817 yr comment_163527 That's good to know. I haven't yet been able to afford the luxury of a balanced rig. Report
