    Thanks, I thought so. I guess I'll be placing another order soon.

    Switchcraft SW120 (Female 1/4 jack)

    I purchased one of these from Markertek and I'm planning to make a 1/4" headphone extension. I just saw that there are only two terminals on the jack, is this not a stereo connection?

    Bass ahoy! A comparison of the Monster Turbines, JVC-Victor FX500, Sennheiser IE8 and Audio Technica CKS70.

    Sounds exactly like what I was looking for in a portable headphone solution that's fun to use. Good luck with the burn in, I would love to know if the mids and highs brighten up a bit with time. Do you think they are able to be recabled to cure the microphonics? Thanks!

    Audio Technica ATH-CKS70 - Possibility in recabling?

    I'm definitely going to try to do it if possible! I've never bought anything from Accessory Jack before, I'm hoping it'll be here before two weeks since ordering it. It was dispatched from customs two days ago, we'll see this week if they come!

    Audio Technica ATH-CKS70 - Possibility in recabling?

    I'm getting a pair of these soon from Accessory Jack soon and wanted to know if it is possible to recable these. I've been in the recabling mood lately and this would be a fun project to work on!

    Grado PS1000 Distortion in bass?

    Ahhh, it's fixed! I dislodged all of the wood particles sticking out of where the driver is fitted. After removing a ton of splinters around the wire's port and driver's edge, the distortion is now gone. I guess it was that particular frequency vibrating the pieces of wood. Thanks for all of the...

    Grado PS1000 Distortion in bass?

    It seems that the driver's hole was carved out of the wood very crudely in my set. I just went around with a really thin piece of toothpick with a round end and dislodged five 1/4" slivers of wood around the wire port and gently shook them out, through the mesh. There are slivers around the...

    Grado PS1000 Distortion in bass?

    BushGuy - I burned them in for approximately 75 hours so far, I've always felt that 50+ hours were appropriate for burn-in, but I'll be more than happy to burn them in more . I burned them in with a mix of pink noise and a mixture of electornic, classical, and vocal music also. I tested the song...

    Grado PS1000 Distortion in bass?

    Thanks for your replies, guys. I was crossing my fingers on the distortion just being grattle, but the more and more that I ask around, the more I do feel that it is the driver starting to fail. What I can't get my head around is why it's only happening to this one song, and of course, I'm to...

    Grado PS1000 Distortion in bass?

    I've been using my PS1k's for about a week now and I am completely blown out of the water with the quality and balance of sound. Everything was going well until my heart skipped a beat today when I played a drum and bass track at moderate/high volume and heard the right driver vibrate with the...

    The Grado HF-2 Review/Comparison Thread

    That's what I'm telling myself since I didn't have the chance to try/buy them. Quote: Originally Posted by immtbiker They'll be others down the line. You didn't miss too much with the HF-2's. (flame suit with-in reach).

    Differences in bass quality and intensity from GS1k, PS1k, and HF-2.

    I took a look at the comparison thread again and found exactly what I was looking for. I guess I missed a few pages! Thanks!
