Well, thanks to your DIY kit, everything went smooth. After my new amp and cable had burned in, I've been in headphone heaven

APureSound now offers recable options for all wooden based Grado headphones in addition to the plastic and metal based Grado headphones that we currently service. All work is done in house so the wait time remains the same as any other APureSound headphone recable.

Awwww Maaaan...

I'm not even gonna get to enjoy the RS-2 when they arrive the end of this week, because I'll have to turn around and ship them out to you first...

With a fast turn around time you won't even realize they were ever gone. I will take good care of them.

And now for a really nice Sennheiser HD650 cable with Rhodium plated Furutech XLR connectors.

Well,

I wanted to buy the Denon D5000 but I am spending about $700 just on cables by the end of this month, so the Denon must wait. I have a 1 week old Senn HD600 V3 cable from chopstxxx coming, with 4' V3 extension from [AK]ZIP, and a Silk Silver LOD and a Silk Silver interconnect from barky, and a copper wrapped with silver mini to RCA by barky, and then will be doing the RS-2 re-cable very soon...

I am going to listen to the RS-2 when they arrive and commit the sound to memory (and compare to my MS1), and I'll listen to my HD600 with the V3 cable I have coming.

Then I can think about sending off the RS-2 to be re-cabled with V3...

(now, what else must I sell to support this habit?)

Alex,
on Senn HD650's, are Senn left and right plugs new conectors,
or do use re-use the stock cable ends?

We use brand new HD650 connectors.

Thanks,
Alex

How sad. RS-2 arrived on the 29th, and I shipped them to [AK]ZIP on the 30th... At least I got to listen to them last night.

They better sound a lot better than my MS-1 when they get back.

Alex, lets say I want to have one of my cans re-cabled however at the moment all I have are single ended amps and sources. Can one or your single ended re-cables be re-terminated later by you into balance, w/o having to do a whole new re-cable? Thanks.

xenithon · 12-01-2007, 03:10 PM

Alex may have a more detailed answer, but IIRC balancing can involve having balanced cabling throughout the headphone, and is not just a matter of the termination (please correct me if I am wrong). An option you may want to pursue instead is having the cans recabled as balanced and have Alex whip up an XLR--->1/4" adaptor cable for use with SE amps.

I recently used this when testing a set of L3000's which Alex recabled and it performed admirably. The build and sound quality were, of course, impecable

. It's also more flexible as you have the option of using it with both types of amps at will, and only need to add or remove the adaptor cable from the chain.
