DIY Cable Gallery!! - Page 80

engima, nice work. what amp are u driving those grado's with?

Its planning ahead

you hacked up the stock cable? I wasn't too fond of it so replaced the whole thing on mine. a balanced PS1 sounds great though.

there are so many balanced PS1's around compared to its production run. possibly the highest ratio of balanced headphones to the available stock?

It just thought they suffered a bit from lack of bass control... aside from that I cant really pick out any gripes with them... Think a balanced amp will greatly help them out... we shall find out this weekend at the ohio meet. I also made some 75ohm extensions which helped the bass a bit as well.

I suppose the recable helps a bit, but its the extra control you get with the balanced amp that really seems to make a difference.

I just don't like the look and build of the stock cable, that's all.

Beats Senns ...although Grado uses PVC for the wire and it melts super easy.

What XLR connectors are those, grandenigma? Lookin' good... are mine ready yet ?

Hi Turbo,

You seem to have a strong affection towards green I suppose

Geez, having to look at all those cables will make me go paranoid...

I cant believe you altered the ps-1s! Isnt there a rule against modding any headphones of that level!

Evil! jk...

If I had headphones like that I would leave it as close to stock as possible and store them in an air tight lock box with velvet lining when not in use.

I wouldnt mind modding the sr-60s however.

nice to know $1k+ grado headphones still get the pizza box treatment.

Its a slightly nicer pizza box

more cable...
canare cable + canare headphone connector.

Nice james! When can I expect a mall-fi ad

James, how do those RCA connectors work for you? Ive tried those before but had issues getting them to seat properly into the input jacks. Have you ever experienced any problems?

Thanks, yeah i was thinking if i have some more free time i will make a couple to sale.

Them RCA are okay, I like the quality and look, but the design for installation are poor. the last pair i did i had trouble with the screw which won't go down all the way due to the thin layer that hold the screw. this second pair i don't have that problem but not having any place to solder the ground i usually solder near the wall of the connector and end up have a little solder outside i have to file it away. seem to do the trick so far. other than that i will continue to use them they're perfect for canare size cable.
