i'm not here to make enemies. we all need each other at some point.
there is nothing i cannot re-cable myself thank you
it's just a GENTLE REMINDER not to attack my threads =)

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1582168
read and justify
say your product is soooooooooo good, so neat, so tidy and so expensive saying mine is rubbish
take your threats and insensitivity away or at least do it in private message and i might think differently about your antics.
you want peace and yet you leave something ugly on other's post

you have not even used my product before, so how can you comment durability?

just think of different people have different preference to price and product
DIY is do it yourself. not send to re-cabler to 'do it for you'
re-cable re-cable not sienz mer? call me re-capper....
is like the kettle calling the pot black

i'm taking initiative to stop this, so i will not continue posting replies regarding this matter here

so on and continue.
i don't care...

people willing to pay me premium because i do it carefully and neatly for them, and most of the time i provide life time warranty for my workmanship
not every one is interested in taking risk of their own headphone.

you can sing your song all the way, i don't care.
but you are the one started it by mentioning my name with your DIY stuff. because in your post you saying "not calling pcworks or jaben just to tell them 'ok i'll think about it' when you ask the price =)"
hence i come out to voice it to you.

your statement is OFFENSIVE to me.

everyone please excuse me.
ok, let's get back to reviewing PcWork's beautiful re-cable job =)

i need a grado housing for sr60i....
any1 with spare housing,please pm me.....
thank u.......

oh my .. not even here..
oh well regarding the cans coming off.. im rather surprised to get to know about the problem here as my SR60 is pretty old in addition i lend it to alot of ppl to take home and use (ive not used it personally for almost 4 months already) and it doenst occur to me

but what i had problems with and most friends who borrowed my grado has the same share of (1)problem ... the tedious spinning around to wear the headphone so the cable wont tangle around the neck

Hmm...i seen your diy thread that is really a good idea to "re-audio jack"...but thought do u can simply do it on headphone unit driver?re-cable not just simply re-jacked only...that mattered whole cable from audio jack side to headphone unit driver,if u can simply do that on the headphone driver too...used the lighter and candle to soldered...oh man...i think i really respected you btw,PcWork is really doing great job recable for headphone,that is fact,that's why here so many people supported here The least i knew,Re-cable not that easily as you said,depend by how you choose cable material,sound matching for the device,safety,soldering job here my comment,correct me if i'm wrong....I'm no pro on Re-cable technical,but i'm just simply music lover

lolx.
tht funny, seen from the picture, i would rather choose pcwork work cos it more neatly n beautiful
even with the premium cost, at least it satisfied my mind after repairing
n pls, it obviously u offence people at first in ur own thread before pcwork come out n chew u back

Oo... that was sweet... I'll try it!

is it that 5 min epoxy or have to find clear epoxy?

@power911: Bro PcWork said clear epoxy, even bolded it and suggested Bostrik brand. So I doubt it's 5 minute epoxy.

beggarmaster2000, PcWork does a very high quality job when he recables. He selects the cables he buys, then goes over the cables before he starts anything to make sure the cables meet his standard before he even cuts them. He matches, braids, and tests each strand and cable over and over again before he solders, and when he solders he pays attention to doing it right and neatly: I was watching him solder Koss cables, and he really takes care when handling things. After he solders he checks the headphone again to make sure there is nothing wrong before calling the job done. Can you say the same for your own work? From the way you fix the jack, you simply fix it up so it works, but heaven knows how long your fix will last, the way you do it: the pics provided don't inspire much confidence at all. Hell, I am positive my Form 1 Kemahiran Hidup work soldering transistors to boards looked a danged sight neater than that jack! Considering the damage done to the jack, I think that replacing the jack might've been a better and longer lasting option.

Also, PcWork's Symphonica cable is the product of nearly 2 years or so of hard work testing and experimenting to find the right cables and solder and jacks to achieve the best sound he can achieve. Go and produce something as good with that amount of work and care and professionalism, and then you can talk. Not before. So far all we've seen of your work in this area is you switching out transistor caps, with very little reasoning as to why. People recable for a reason. You don't seem to have a reason for recapping, or at least not one you care to share with the rest of the class? At least I hope you're learning as you recap stuff. Be a shame to do all that blindly by trial and error and not learn from it.

Lastly: I would say that everyone has a right to defend themselves whenever the occasion calls for it. Even criminals can have lawyers to represent them in the court, but PcWork and Jaben cannot defend themselves when you say something about them? You comment on PcWork and Jaben, and then complain when they answer your comment and come into your thread to do it; even expect them NOT to answer back to all the malarkey you sling about. What is that but an unfair reaction? Then people don't mention you in their posts/thread; yet you go and disparage them in your post/threads. You even come into their thread and make nasty comments. How is that sensible?

Think about it.

My another comment about PcWork's recable work and some words to beggarmaster.

I am currently using recabled KSC 75.
And once I let my friend try then he directly say want one unit.
I directly help him call up Yuheng and order one unit.
I meant no offense but if you try Symphonica,you will know.
And also MS 1 wood mod..
It's not simply "RECABLING" as in "fixing it back to piece".
I saw your intention of helping other people but you really don't need to comment on other people works.
Anyway,when you really listen those recabled stuff,then you will understand.
Unless you can work out something nice,I suggest you don't comment on the price.
PcWork also can simply do,without making it so nice,but what will other people think?
If you think his prices are high yet so many people still going after him for his recabling service,then you will understand why by "common sense".

i forgotten it is 5 min epoxy or not.
but i am sure it is CLEAR epoxy.
if u can find Clear epoxy which settle within 5 minutes, can get that.
and.. despite it is 5 minute epoxy, it still have to settle for 24 hours for maximum strength.
just that after 5 minutes, it's kinda sticky so that the parts can hold themself up.

don't get STEEL epoxy. as it will has some grey powder formed when it dry. and it doesnt really hold plastic that strong..
i tried. don't work.
clear epoxy on the other hand. works charmingly.

the clear epoxy. is ... clear.. transparent colour.. with very very slight yellowish tint.

Bro beggarmaster, i think this is not right to say a people is not good on their workmanship...Pcwork is done a remarkable fixing and recabling for the community in Audiophile. I think i can say there is always a improvement in every single way. for example i got a same cable same plug with the different people doing the soldering. But i can say pcwork recable and soldering skill is profesional. I did witness and see how he works on the soldering. And i think ever since we know each other since we bump in this thread for 6 years. i did see his workmanship is much more beyond i see..is premium work..so pls not to say a people workmanship is a lousy or shit pls..you cannot judge this..try it you will know..

thx for the tip bro
will definitely try them out

Added on October 2, 2010, 11:45 pmas if factory made?

This post has been edited by power911: Oct 2 2010, 11:45 PM

haha...i would say is the same like factory haha////very nice...

i am gentleman like what i say above, i will not comment this issue. i will take what you guys think about me with a pinch of sugar. =) please do go back to 'his' (he threatened me to not use his name) 'do it for you' re-cabling
everyone don't angry la =) i'm gentleman but also assholo =)

Strange. The last I saw, gentleman and a$$hole were mutually exclusive. Make up your mind as to which are you.

My friend actually thought Symphonica was factory made. Jaw dropped when I said it was hand made.

hand made > factory made .... Lamborghini Murciélago for example ... the same goes to grados

Wow... bro, looking at all the previous reply here it seems you are being the latter then turn to gentlemen when backfires. I too don't think is right to comment on ppl workmanship when he has done so much to the community. Not every Audiophiles are a good DIY but loves good music, which is what we are all about. I myself owns a few of this "re-cable" work and it is even more durable then factory made one many times over. I have never had the need to send back for repair. Some re-cable like the symphonica cable brings the headphone to another level totally, I don't think you can ever get that with simple re-cable eh? Just my 2c.

woots! but it really depends too

sorry to interfere about that.
all factory terminated CABLES for audio, as long as it is not super cheap type, it will be TERMINATED BY HAND.

so the question of hand made VS factory made is not even exits.
since 99.9% cable out there WERE hand terminated for more reliability even though they are named as "original Factory Terminated"

take cardas cable for example. each and single of the cable has the personnel's signature on the cable as well as the certificates of it.
