I've sent in two request for a replacement chord for my TMA's, but even after a month of waiting I've gotten nothing in response. So I'm just going to fix my current one. I've watched a ton of videos, already own the tools, and just need to pick up the jack (http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...header-2103990) and do all the work.
Any advice?
Edit: The 1/8" segment of the wire got bent in my bag somehow, it chops between mono in my left and stereo if the wire moves at all
Hey Ty,
How old are your headphones?
Are they still under warranty?
I'd recomend a Switchcraft plug, those can survive a 100 man S.W.A.T. team and live to tell about it without broken connections.
Look for Switchcraft 35HDBNS
Hello...
why not upgrade the wires all together rather than just fixing the conectors.... my friend did a great job on making me a new set of cables... since you say u have the tools and know how go for it... my friend did the whole mod in a couple of hours... some ppl might argue the worth of changing the cables but we both found the sound to be much better than using the original cables...

Sorry chubbz, that's the placebo effect!
You may as well be using a coat hanger jammed into both ends as far as quality goes

It is, but I can't get a response from AIAIAI and DJTT said that it's their responsibility to replace such parts. It was my fault, so I was willing to pay, but after two inquiries via email I'm not in the mood to pay them money and wait for it to get shipped when I could probably just build the wire for the same price (the wire was too long for my taste anyways).Quote:

oh yah forgot to add that i only spent less than 30usd for all the materials used in my cable mod... bought some very good quality cables, neutrik connectors and cable sheath....
Well, it's done. Fuck adapters, I went straight to 1/4" like a bawse. Picked up the tip on the way back from Radioshack for $5.75. It took about 40 mins and I soldered the wires down even though it was a solder free tip with screws to hold the wires in place. I cut some unnecessary amounts of chord off because it was too long for my taste.
Noise free, sounds great, no clipping, and I've put it under some serious pressure and it won't budge. It also looks badass IMO.

Nice one,
At least you've fixed the problem yourself
:D
I love when people fix these little problems themselves. It's like basic literacy for DJs or anyone who works/plays with audio. Hopefully it's given you the confidence to fix other little problems in the future.
Also, FCK YEAH NUO 3.
Cool I got a pair of Denon headphones that needs a new lead on it. I got that and to replace micro switch on cdj800 as a couple projects. I just need a soldering iron. Thanks for the post!~
While a little pricey the Neutrik jacks are well worth it and will definitely never break.

I used to stick one of these on every set of headphones I owned - haven't needed to replace anything on my V6's yet though after almost 10 years of abuse :P (touchwood)
Oh, fuck yes indeed. Juicy big EQs, my favorite mixer to date.Quote:
