How would this mod have effect on the sound if it is used with a Meier Concerto with active balanced ground?

I think the only way to know how the mod sounds with the Concerto is to try it. I suspect you will hear a difference since you are only removing the shield from the 6.5mm plug. The ground and all other wires remain in place.

 

Not much of an engineer so I really can't explain why or how this mod works. I can only say that it was easy to complete and the difference is noticeable.

I just tried this mod and it worked brilliantly.  Before the mod, the T1's had a bit of grittiness to the mids and highs, and it smoothed out quite a bit after the mod.  Thanks!!

Hi,

 

i would disconnect the shield only at the driver, not at the jack !

So the cable is fully shielded.

Loosing the shield only on the end side, not  at the source-side  !

Pseudo symmetrical cables are made so.That's the better way ;-)

Is T1 original cable  good enough?

I have some supra loudspeakercable i don't use. 2 pair 3meter.

Is this project of any use?

Do i need the black driver shield to ground?

Do not expect any improvement by changing the T1 stock-cable. It is one of the best cables on headphones you can get IMHO.

Is is even connected at the driver?  If it's configured as an extra ground on the plug side I kinda doubt it.  This just seems to me to be one of those times where you aren't really doing anything.  I mean, this capacitance wouldn't even be in series with what's going on.  

 

BTW, in case you hadn't figured it out by now I'm a cable curmudgeon, I don't buy into simple conductors having any effect.
