Has anyone tried either the A or E with a Ray Samuels Raptor?
I didn't listen but for a few songs but out of my Yggy and LC balanced I still preferred them out of the Kenzie over the LC still both sounded great. On the LC your going to have to turn it down as it has twice the power balanced as single ended so more headroom. I didn't try them single ended from the LC but I would guess a bit more dynamic response.I can't wait for my balanced cables to be delivered ... right now I'm using a Gumby Multibit & a Liquid Carbon ... all single-ended connections
Right now the Eikon is sounding like heaven
I can't image what the balanced connections could improve
Hmmm. That explains part of my confusion--but not the main part, which is I don't know how to solder/don't own a soldering gun, so this stuff is voodoo to me.
So:
-- If/when I get an Atticus
-- I'll have to beseech @Hansotek
to make me up a custom XLR-to-TRS adapter containing whatever best value resistor he determines
-- No doubt this will mean supplying him w/a suitable adapter, one he knows comes apart easily and can so be modified w/o too much trouble.
I'm liking the direction of this whole resister-mod string, though. It means that if I get an Atticus, I could tweak its performance easily/conveniently using any of my current SS amps. That's a comforting thought, actually (since I really don't plan to get a tube amp in future).
This! Hansotek, would you be interested in making some more of these? I have a feeling there's a market.

Have a decent soldering station what do you need?Haha, I don't even own a soldering iron, guys. I probably would save myself a bunch of money if I did! I am going to try and find someone to help us out though. Stay tuned.

A 4-pin female XLR to 1/4" male pigtail with a 60ohm resistor built into it.
Your going to need a resistor that can handle what... 20W to be safe? From what I found on mouser.com, that's going to be a wire wound resistor, and they are a lot bigger than I thought.
I'm sorry, but when I listen to my X2 at full volume from the Milo, I'm pretty sure I'm getting close to 16w at least. What did you say? Nevermind... MOAR POWAH is needed I think.Oh goodness no. 5W would be far, far more than you'd ever need. You probably never even use more than 2W, even for the most dynamic transients. All of this stuff scales logarithmically, so you're usually using a lot less power than you think.

Sure, I had to super glue the voice coils in place after the first go, but I'm pretty sure they won't come shooting out this time. Huh, I missed 3 phone calls... Phone must have been on vibrate. So, this mod has a terrible effect on bass and mids, but I hear bells and cymbals just fine. Constantly, in fact.
Anyway, I have a slight headache and feel dizzy. I'm going to bed. I hope this ringing in my ears stops soon. 20W man... 20W.
