Thank you!! Ah... still a bit drilling, but beautiful outcome, maybe some thinner (and cheaper) socket can do, yes!

Damn it, just found that I've already liked his post... Typical...

And before you go that route, consider there are several HD800 connectors that are worlds easier to use now. https://www.ebay.com/itm/113176113647?hash=item1a59d271ef:g:VRcAAOSw1iFbX0V-

Oyaide makes a set too but you'd have to get someone in Japan to buy and ship to you. I want to say there is one more out there but drawing a blank atm.

Yeah, those connectors fraggler linked are super easy to work with.

Yes, these thick ones look so much better and I see the possibility of using thick cables! Nice! Thank you all!!

Here are a few photos of my cable with them. You have a built in cable crimp to keep it steady while you solder the two pins. Super easy and the connector screws off and accommodates fairly thick cables.
