Found my hot glue gun, and glue sticks, and i think it helped ALOT i can now plug it in with out cutting my self.
Also, now that i found a source of female 3.5mm's (crappy radios) i fixed up my nokia pop port thing, and... IT WORKS. I called some one with a pair of some random panasonic headphones.
4 foot RCA-RCA cables. Inner conductor is the signal, with the shield as ground, and of course the same material as my other cables (Profi RCAs, GS-6 cable, 1/4" nylon sleeving). The cables connect from my SOCRAM to my Toshiba SD-3990
Soldering in a garage at 3ēC is not that fun, but I managed.
That's some clean cables, great job!
Do you offer cable making for members??
Now for the good cable.
You learn after one screw up what not to do, this one I was very anal about making sure everything was layed out beforehand, and that I actually put the shrinkwrap on before I soldered the ends on. I use this one from my Powerbook to my LDM+.
Another pair of ksc35's. This time with 68 ohm resistor for one channel and 47 ohm for another channel. don't ask...it sounds perfectly balanced and was intentional...
The Stealth:
Nothing touches it right now in terms of enjoyable sound. IMO of course.

I think i could benefit from 2 different resistors for each channel. I feel like my portapro's arnt balanced... its just a feeling.

which resistor for which channel.
well the thing is.. i don't remember which channel was the original one, but one channel is surely freaky, right now its the left.. but these drivers are universal..Ive had a similar mis-balance on another pair to a lesser degree..this is all in my opinion, as the unbalance couldn't be measured, but when switched to my other headphones I could definitely tell, so after the lopsided resistors were set right its pretty much gone now..
where's an easy place to order some 1% resistors? looking for some resistors to make a ER4P-4S cable, looking at the catalog pages on digikey and mouser makes my head hurt...

Oh, the laziness of it all
DigiKey - just search "metal film resistor" - click on the category Resistors -> Metal Film, select 1% tolerance and your resistance value and you're looking at a very reasonable list.

DIY= do it yourself.
the search for components is also part of the process...
