DigiPete Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Thinking about recalbing my K701s... Any suggestions for a good 4-condutor cable? \ I will be running it balanced. How does Mogami 2534 rate? Thanks Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philodox Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Not to 'steal the thunder' of this thread, but I would also like a recomendation for a 4 conductor cable with portable use in mind for my upcomming K81DJ recable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBLoudG20 Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 What about the Cardas 4x20? Should work out well for both applications. That is what I used on my k340. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiberian Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 this one is nice, cardas tonearm wire. maybe not for portable use... http://www.dedicatedaudio.com/inc/sdetail/3928 i like vh audio 28awg cotton coated silver wire on my k81djs too, not for portable use as well. http://www.vhaudio.com/wire.html#vhcotton cardas 4x24 headphone cable. the same thing they use for sennheiser and mini to rca cables. great stuff once you remove the outer jacket. http://www.diycable.com/main/product_info.php?cPath=89_119_131&products_id=574&Cid=e6d6583ba8a24795119b2c69c02b336a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigiPete Posted August 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Well, I took the plunge last night and recabled my K701s. My first DIY recable 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.
