> Only the mini XLR-4 pin could be subjected to that and can simply be replaced if needed (DT177X).
i would prefer to pre-make a 'drop in version' prior needing one. i have spare connectors and wire to do so.
> The wiring inside is
not subjected to wear and tear.
sure, but part of the earcup interconnect goes outside of earcups too and that thing rubs against head/hair and anything else it could touch/rub against.
> What could possibly be the advantage of a few cm of mogami, canare or junkosha wire over the same length of 'plain copper' wire ?
consistency and it wouldn't be affected as much by oxidation when using spc instead of just a copper wire. i have some wires that have severe effects of oxidation over years of storage/use. might not affect any audio properties but still. i opened old stock dt770 cable and it had such effect too.
if i am wiring 400~600$ headphones - i might spend few extra bucks and get something with a guaranteed specs and that would look good/have better properties. even if it is just for internal wiring.
> I can also understand wanting to correct the polarity on the DT1770 and wanting to convert these (250ohm) to accepting a different connector or wanting to make them dual entry because the headband wiring touching the head is very annoying.
i think that would need two minixlr4 pin cables with that white mini connectors attached
> But replacing that short inconsequential wiring just for the sake of knowing a favorite brand is in there just for that piece of mind.
sure.
> It will not change anything technically except your peace of mind which, admittedly, can lead to technically inaudible yet perceived 'improvements'.
sure, i don't expect any perceivable improvements. i am not even sure we could even measure any changes there after 'rewiring'.
so there is two instances:
- earcup interconnects with white connectors which goes outside and will rub against things for sure and will ear down for sure
- minixlr internal cable with white connector might be good idea to replace when minixlr connect gonna need a replacement and it will need a replacement for sure.
so could you please help to find out which connectors do they use and length of the stock cables?
