Redco. KVConnection has a bunch as well, have had great experiences with either.

If only the 24th was tomorrow. Oh wait, that means my midterm gets moved up to tomorrow as well, drats...

Bose Bose Bose.

Damn :(. I second (third?) the W4RC idea, especially with the rounded slimmer plug. Brendan

The Wiggy's stuff is overrated personally, kudos that it's made in the USA but that's about it. I find eVent to be a better substitute to Gore-Tex (or any of its variants).

Said poster is a vegan apparently...

If you've read my reply you would realize that my argument was directed towards the reasoning that using any heatshrink will cause microphonics without regard to the application at hand. I don't know about you but when I put a pair of phones on they usually stay on my head and thus the wires...

Exactly. I think many of you guys are blowing this out of proportion. Instead of intentionally yrying to brush the wires up against clothing or running you fingers on it, put the phones on and listen. I barely hear anything because most of the time it's not touching anything but air. If these...

How so?

Some of it yes. I like to listen to some Bondy Chiu, Denise Ho or Bianca Wu. For a new show, it was fairly well organized, I expect next year to be even better with more manufacturers showing up and more vendors. Admission wasn't too bad, paid $12 for a student pass that was valid all three...

The more you soak/clean your jeans the faster it fades. So soak little, wear alot. Yeah, hot water is mostly for shrinking, your 511's are not STF so there will be minimal if any shrinking. Cold water will do. I think you need to buy a few pairs and rotate them so they stay dark a lot longer...

A tip Br777, Epoxy/hotglue goes a long way when dealing with sleeving. Try gluing it to the wire before clamping. Brendan

I own 3 pairs of 501 STF's, here's what I do: 1) When they were new, HOT soak them INSIDE OUT with Woolite Dark to wash off any manufacturing residue and for maximum shrinkage. My bathtub turns dark blue after that. -->I suppose cold water will help with colour/indigo loss, but I had to shrink...

Nope. I only saw HD800, k701, T1's and PS1000. Karen Mok eh?

Collection complete. Brendan

Currently CryoParts is closed as Lee passed away recently and I doubt it'll be reopening. :(

Oops. :D

OT: Had a chat with Jack Wu today at the TAVES show, fairly insightful and demoed a wide variety of their products, he had a bunch of phones there with him including HD800's, k701's, T1's and DT990's, the latter I found to be the best sounding (surprisingly!) of the quartet. Brendan

Balanced HD650 cable with a Matrix Quattro adapter. All Neutrik with cryo-treated Cardas connectors (RIP Lee :(). Brendan

It wouldn't be ideal, but you could use it for the Grados. The silver wire is actually the shield that is spun or woven on top of the twisted pair inside. You would have to use that as a common ground, and then the red for right and left channel. Brendan

OT: Are you Chinese?

I liked them so much I enlarged the hole of my iPhone case to fit them LOL.

Ideally you'd want your sleeve loose to minimized microphonics, but this makes it look sloppy aesthetically and not a lot of people like that look. Brendan
