Thanks Mike. I should have at least 2 pairs with me so if you want to demo one in your rig you are of course more than welcome.

i am probably wrong but dont balanced cables terminate in 2 xlr connectors or can you do with just one? ive never seen one in person but all the pictures ive seen of balanced cables have always had 2 connectors. same with balanced amps.

/proceeds to read about balanced cables.

Thats a connector...you can connect a single ended or 2 balanced to that connector i believe.

cj,

Most commercial balanced cables terminate in dual 3-pin XLRs. However, there's a small segment of us who have chosen to adopt the K1000 4-pin XLR configuration. It's one less connector to worry about and accomplishes the same thing.

Ohh, ive seen people use something similar to connector different types of plugs...that kewl though, never seen a singled ended balanced cable.

So does that mean you have to use a STAX amp?

What Gear Moon Audio will have:)

Well Boys and Girls we have shipped off all our gear to the show. Fingers crossed that nothing gets lost or damaged in transit.....Here is the list of Toys.

Might also have a surprise but not sure yet.....

Headphone amps:
1 Cary Audio CAD 300 SEI: We are now a dealer for all Cary Products
1 Shanling MC3000: this is the only unit in North America, we were able to steal the CES unit It does everything but the dishes
Both of these will be used to drive a set of AKG K1000s with a 10' Black Dragon Recable with rhodium bananas. both of these amps can also drive standard 1/4" Plugs.
1 Shanling PH3000 Pre-amplifier / Headphone Amplifier: A hell of a deal at it's price tag. Plenty of room for mods.
1 PS Audio GCHA
2 iQube portable Players
1 Headamp AE-2 in gray to match a pair of Denon AH-D2000 headphones

CD Players/Digital Gear:
1 Original CD2008MKii with Level 3 Moon Audio mods as well as the AES transport mod.
1 Original CD2008MKii with Level 1.5 Moon Audio mods. This has the Level 2 mods but with the Level 1 Lundahl Transformers. we wanted to be able to compare the Level 2 transformers to the Level 1 transformers on equal playing field. thus the 1.5 mod
1 Shanling PCD3000A CD Player with Headphone Amplifier. I guess this could also be listed under Headphone amps.
1 PS Audio Digital Link III
1 Sony Vaio Laptop to be used with portables and 1 PS Audio Digital Link III USB input
1 80 gig Ipod Video to be used with portables

Headphones:
1 AKG K1000 with a 10' Black Dragon Recable with rhodium bananas

Nope, just a regular dynamic amp. Think of it this way, you only need 4 connections to make a balanced headphone signal (L+, L-, R+, R-) so those dual 3pin cables that you see have wasted connection points that aren't actually connected to anything. The 4pin XLR is the easiest way to wire balanced and actually makes a great single-ended connector as well. But enough derailing of this thread, stop by table 13 if you want a better explanation.

Drew, glad to hear that you're making it this time - I too miss the left coast Nat. Meet so I'm very much looking forward to this one.

Awesome, thank you very much for the info. Once i make the move to balanced im going to have to look into this.

Will for sure be seeing me at Table 13 =) See you in 5 days, have a safe trip down.

BTW, im going to head to the hotel on friday for a bit, if anyone needs a ride from the airport between 12pm and 3pm let me know. I dont mind shuttling...its very short drive to the hotel. Just so you know, i can carry about 3 people with lots of gear or 4 people with min amount of gear. I see if i can snake my brothers truck for the day...depending if he is working that next weekend.

Ill only do this during 12-3pm cause traffic on friday on 595 (highway airport is off of) starts to back it up all the way to I75.

Dang, I land at 3:05, here's to hoping I don't end up stuck in traffic on my way to the Jam!
