Recently the 1/8 plug on my Grado SR-80s broke, so I took it upon myself to solder a new one on.
It was my first attempt at soldering, and it was successful, but I've noticed the Grados are noticeably quieter and less bright now than they were before. This may be due to:
I changed it to a 1/4 plug
It's not gold plated
My soldering not being as good (?)
So I was just curious, which one is likely the culprit here? And also, if anyone knows specifically how much the impedance changes in this case, I'd be curious to know that too.
