Hi all! 
 
Grado's Canadian retailer wants 85$ cdn + shipping for the repair.
Are there better alternatives out there for that price range?
 
I have a soldering iron coming in to reterminate 2 pairs of Yuin pk3, a Blox and a pair of Portapros; will that give me enough experience to tackle a recabling of the Grados myself?

grados are easier to recable than an iem or an earbud. you can practice first on a portapro since recabling a grado is as easy as recabling a portapro. except that you need to remove bunch of things first before you can get your soldering iron to touch the grado's solder pads on the drivers
 
good luck!

There are guides here on building cables and recabling Grados if you search, you can use them to figure out how to repair the cable or recable your headphone altogether. Alternatively, a Canadian head-fier that has experience recabling Grados may be able to help you.

Thanks for the tips guys!
I got some diy parts coming in the mail.
It should be fun.
