JimP Posted September 21, 2008 Report Posted September 21, 2008 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. [mods, pls move if its in wrong forum, not sure where to post this] Quote
grawk Posted September 21, 2008 Report Posted September 21, 2008 Throw some heat shrink on it... Quote
n_maher Posted September 21, 2008 Report Posted September 21, 2008 If you'd like to send it to me, I'll fix it. Quote
kevin gilmore Posted September 21, 2008 Report Posted September 21, 2008 unscrew the connector, stretch out the techflex, pushing it back thru the rubber, use a single small cable tie to secure it. Quote
JimP Posted September 22, 2008 Author Report Posted September 22, 2008 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. Quote

n_maher Posted September 22, 2008 Report Posted September 22, 2008 but is he a MOT?It would be my understand that the answer to that is only yes. All DIY = MOT! Quote

JimP Posted September 22, 2008 Author Report Posted September 22, 2008 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? Quote
Grand Enigma Posted September 22, 2008 Report Posted September 22, 2008 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... Quote
n_maher Posted September 22, 2008 Report Posted September 22, 2008 Since this is clearly a microphonics reduction mod it should cost at least as much as the original cable. Quote
JimP Posted September 22, 2008 Author Report Posted September 22, 2008 ...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 Quote

Chekhonte Posted September 22, 2008 Report Posted September 22, 2008 on a side note, don't zu cables have a life time warranty? Quote
n_maher Posted September 22, 2008 Report Posted September 22, 2008 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. Quote
Chekhonte Posted September 23, 2008 Report Posted September 23, 2008 That's good to know. I haven't yet been able to afford the luxury of a balanced rig. Quote
n_maher Posted September 23, 2008 Report Posted September 23, 2008 That's good to know. I haven't yet been able to afford the luxury of a balanced rig. Well, some us are loony and use the 4-pin XLR even for single-ended. Quote
