If you need to convert a balanced plug to SE, you can use the ground pin in an XLR connector as the SE ground. The ground pin also serves another purpose, it's connected to the shield which helps drain any potential noise before reaching the signal wires.


Nice looking cable Nori! Where did you get the AUG-Line wire?

I must admit that I'm a BIG Koss fanboy I love their sound so much that I decided to recable my KSC35 with Jena wires
The result is sweet !









The hole to put the wires in is a bit small and I had to drill it

Yeah, the cost is a bit expensive, but not super-expensive like what I've seen somewhere

On SQ view only, I would say 8.5/10
On price, exactly 1/2

Lil' Knight, I like the way you think. I have had thoughts about recableing my KSC 35's with the Jena lab wire too.

Thank you So, why haven't you recabled it yet ?
I'm sure you'll be surprised with it
The Jena improves the trebles very well, clearer and more neutral, while the bass becomes "bigger"
I don't know whether the cable burn-in is true or not, but I'll give it a shot I hope it'll improve even better after 100h.

My next project is recable my K701 to balanced with Jena
