It looks like a family pet chewed through the cord of these nice Denon
headphones. I called Pacific Coast Parts and was told the cord is not available as a separate part. I could buy a set of new headphones, same make and model, for about $70 from them and that includes shipping. Does anyone have a source for a headphone cord (3.5mm sized) that branches into two separate leads for connecting each driver independently? In other words, there is no wire going through the headband. It's just a separate pair of wires to the left and right drivers. I was unable to locate anything on an internet search. Perhaps I should just by a cheap pair of headphones and scavenge the cord. Thanks for your reply. -- David Farber Los Osos, CA |

If you can, rescue the cord by unsoldering rather than cutting, as it can be a bitch to get that superflex headphone cable to solder-tin back into usable 'tails' ... Arfa |

Arfa Hi Arfa Good point about saving the ends. That's something I would have thought of after I cut the cord! -- David Farber Los Osos, CA |

I wound up using a miniplug to RCA adapter and that worked pretty well. Cool. Thanks for posting the results! Matt Roberds |
