What are the quality components.

The 4.4mm Jack is Pentaconn Brand i think they are the sony manufacturer for the 4.4.. feels so robust, the 3.5mm sockets feel so tight so i left the dual jacks permanently connected LOL.
 
One thing i noted not sure for other 4.4mm jacks or WM1A/Zs the 4.4mm socket on the WM1A is damn tight, so tight that i have a hard time removing headphones 

 
I am not sure for cables materials, they look pure silver or copper w/silver plating.
 
and if you read whitigir's posts he alwaus uses quality cablings and components for his DIY projects

+1 the decrease in bass on balanced; not sure tinny would be my word of choice, but definitely less depth and impact ("slam"?).  FWIW, over 400 hours burn-in on balanced...

can i ask someone to clarify this for me so listening on balanced means less bass
 
that is not what i was looking for

mine also decrease in bass slam right now, need to confirm with more burn

You're right maybe not tinny. I couldn't get the right words.
But I'm not wowed by balanced right now. I pair it with EX800st and it's definitely not a bass less iem.
Maybe needs more burn in.

We need lower prices for 1Z in UK also.

I'm sure there would always be slight variables based on taxation but Sony has had crazy differences in different territory policies. Too many chiefs not enough Indians i imagine. In the US we are not allowed to discount these products or we risk being terminated as dealers. No other country has this restriction. In the U.K. a dealer can't be told what price to sell at

at least you are trying your best to do what you can, but being a dealer do you not have previliges to discuss things like that with sony

maybe I need a tighter connection Since I'm not liking the sound of balanced.

It falls on deaf ears mostly. Sony is just too massive to get things like this organized more fairly. Believe me, I've attacked that bear and each time the bear either fully slept or bit me in the ass.

If I spray-Paint the cables will it affect SQ? 

​ haha more bass perhaps if i spray-Paint them

Sony watches this thread and others. They've seen my posts of concern with the disparities being commented on. The Sony UK president doesn't like me much and frankly I don't care. US and Japan do listen but like I said Sony is too large to get all their entities on one page as one team making it better for all the consumers around the world.

You're probably joking but lots of people who buy gear this expensive believe in some of the most outlandish crazy things like that. In the ak380 thread I got banned for making fun of everyone who jumped on board the idea that it sounded way better without the leather case on. I felt like I was going to go nuts reading that type of stuff. I see it all the time too, even in this thread.
