Since I'm using the Emmeline SR-71 to amp my Sennheiser HD-650, I must use a 1/4'' to 1/8'' adaptor to plug the HD-650 into the SR-71.
I notice, for an awkward reason, when using a Grado 1/4'' to 1/8'' adaptor, it not only increases soundstage, but also gives a more detailed, deep, and less "cluttered" sound (compared to the 1/4'' to 1/8'' stock adapter that came with the HD-650.)
I was wondering what, if any, was the reasoning behind this, and if I keep the current setup should I purchase a more high-end 1/4''->1/8'' adapter? This is because I also plan to purchase an Equinox cable for my HD-650 and wouldn't want the 1/4''->1/8'' adaptor to hold back any of the sound quality.
Thanks guys.
