Hey guys. I got the Denon D2000's about a month ago and love them to death but there is one problem. I guess when they were being put together one of the 2 cables that go to the cups was twisted. So it has a loop in it that REALLY bugs me. I know it's probably not a big deal to most of you, but when I pay 350$ for a pair of cans I was hoping for quality. Is there anyway to fix with or would I need a recable? I've tried hanging them upside down and straightening the wire out but the actual sleeve is twisted as well. So when I do undo the loop the sleeving expands and the threads on the sleeve seperate.
probably the only sure way is to take apart the one side, desolder the cable untwist it and then solder it back on. You need to be very careful with this as headphones are basically tiny speakers. the voice coils are small and cannot handle much heat. I recommend if you are going to do this you use a variable heat solder station with a low melting temp solder. If not, at the very least use a heatsink.

That is a bit too scary for me to try. I guess i'll just need to live with it. Thanks for the suggestion though. How much might a recable cost, if I decide to go that way?
