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.
