Recommends for 6XX replacement cable(s)?
The wires on the left channel plug, just before the socket are acting up and I need to replace the cable for my Sennheiser 6XX headphones. Looking at Amazon, I see actual Sennheiser cables but one of them does not have the removable 1/4 plug (I use a DAC with 1/8" jack), and I would rather not add even more connection unknowns by using an adapter down to 1/4", and the other Sennheiser cable is far too long for my usage (looking for around 2 meters or just a touch longer. The 6XX have been around for a while and I'm sure I'm not the first to need a replacement cable. I'm actually surprised that Drop doesn't offer them perpetually like they do with the ear pads, which ironically my stock pads are holding up just fine. I'm not looking for $100+ cables here, just a solid replacement for what the 6XX came with. Thanks!

As you can see the impedance is so small compared to the impedance of headphones I think it would be impossible to detect the difference. Lead would have a stronger increase in bass than copper.
I had a reason for that image but then I realized that the reason was wrong but I decided to leave it anyway.
It is three in the morning here, but I think I caught the mistakes in math. If I missed something or someone wants to see any other things (relating to these graphs) graphed let me know. EDIT: I just got inductance confused with impedance. I changed it in the post but don't feel like changing it in the picture. Just know that the picture is wrong.
No kidding.
Also, a bit off topic, but never use nickel plated lug connectors or nickel plated wire for car usage, mainly for electrical within the engine bay. Nickel will develop extreme electrical resistance when subjected to long periods of high (200+) heat such as what comes off your car's engine. This can lead to serious electrical problems in the car as wires begin to have too much resistance.
