Reply to Headphone mod - Coiled Cable.

I set about moving the 3m coiled cable from my old Sony HDR phones to my Ultrasone HFI-700s because cable management was getting on my nerves.




Results were.. mixed. Happy to have a shorter cable, happy to still have he screw adapter 3.5mm jack on the end so I can use it with MP3 player and pro audio cards, but there was a marked loss in audio quality due to the smaller gauge to the wires in the cable.

Working on an upgrade strategy, possibly using the high quality Canare StarQuad L-4E5C microphone cable recommended by headphone modders, if I can find an acceptable screw-adapter plug to use at the end. Those are not easy to find. Any ideas? The alternative is just to chop down the original cable to a decent length (2.5m or so) and use that.
