I didn't get any feedback on the headphone forum so thought I'd try here. Kind of a general question
I've got an old pair of IE8s and thought the cable was faulty so ordered a new one. However, it's actually a fault with the headphone connection in the right headphone. Basically, a tiny strip of metal has sheared, leaving the connection point ever so slightly large for the pin. I was thinking to just put a tiny amount of foil around the pin to make it fit better.
My question is, does ordinary food wrap foil conduct electricity and would this solution work effectively?
I can add pics in an hour if it helps.
