headphone extension cable reccys please

[the engine]

I'm using a pair with only a metre of cable and so looking for an extension cable to give me a little more freedom of movement.
I found an old 3 metre one in the loft but was dismayed by the drop in sound quality....it was a fairly heavyweigh old bit of wire with steel plugs though so I wasn't expecting miracles. The phones are B&W P3's and will be driven by a Musical Fidelity HP1 headphone amp ).
I've seen the R Andrews ones but I really think £700 is a little excessive for my needs !!
Anyone recommend a decent male to female cable then please ?:scratch:

If you don't want to build one I can whole haertedly recommend this one as the best cable on earth for the money.

Thats more the sort of thing. ten feet is plenty and a more realistic price.
I'll be on the case directly.
Thanks a million .

$53 postage. I wonder are these things be stocked direct here in the UK ??

[goraman]

I belive this is a U.S. made cable,It is still a bargain even with the extra postage.
Even shipping in the U.S. would be around $20.00 unless sent U.S. mail.
Shipping has gone way up here in the last year.
Keep in mind it is built to last a lifetime, warranted and you will never feel a need to upgrade.

You don't say whether you are looking for 3.5mm or 6.3mm :scratch:

Grado make one:

I had a Grado extension and was not impressed .
It is far from ideal.
Not a very smooth sounding cable.

Sorry guys....3,5 m would be fine .
I do find the grado's just a tad on the bland side to be honest. So if the cable is of a similar signature it may just be second choice to the ' sonically invisible ' one. Thanks though.

The thing I noticed with the Grado cable is the lush smoothness of a nice tube headphone amp is lost, and although the sound stage remains wide it losses depth. I have heard it called grainy but I don't know if that is an over statement or not but it is not as smooth as either one of my other extensions and thats why I gave it to a friend who uses it at his recording studio for mixing and monitoring.
