The Fourth Doctor
New Head-Fier
Hello,
I have two related questions:
1. So I just ordered a Sennheiser HD 6XX from Drop. In some instances, I’m going to need to use an extension cable with them, so I’m looking at the one from Grado.
However, the Grado cable is meant for a 1/4” connector, meaning I’d have to use the 1/8” to 1/4” adapter provided with the HD 6XX. So there would be two extra connections in my chain between headphones and amp.
Is that OK? It also appears Sennheiser sells a separate cable meant for their HD 650 and HD 660 models that terminates in a 1/4” connection. Would that be compatible with the HD 6XX, and if so, would using that cable that be preferable in my situation, as it would eliminate an extra connection?
2. The Grado cable is well regarded, right? Are there any comparable choices? I notice Grado offers their extension cable in two variations: a 4-conductor version and a 12-conductor version. What is the difference and what would be the best for the HD 6XX’s?
Thanks!
