cardas 4x24 headphone cable. the same thing they use for sennheiser and mini to rca cables. great stuff once you remove the outer jacket.

Well, I took the plunge last night and recabled my K701s. My first DIY recable :o

I used Mogami 2534(4-conductor, 24ga. neglex copper).

I stripped off the jacket and copper shield, and then threaded that into 9' nylon multi-filament techflex.

I'll post pics when I get home from work.

Initial impressions is that the treble is a bit cleaner and more pronounced (less rolled off) than stock.

Overall a good thing IMO, since I used to have DT880s, and I did not like that the highs were a quite a bit more recessed in the K701s. This seems to be a good middle ground between the two cans.
