That's correct. And it doesn't matter in which jack you connect the TRS 1/4" plugs, the only thing is absolute phase changes when you switch output between them. Which might be interesting to check for those who are so inclined.

It's not so easy to use existing adapters. You need a Y-split, or even better - and simpler - a braided balanced cable where you can just connect the four leads to a four-pin XLR (or whichever plug/jack you have, Pentaconn/TRRS 3,5mm etc) according to the sketch below. Normal connection for...

An unusual tube combination that I haven't tried before. Initial impressions are quite positive. This is the first 6AS7GA that I've ever tried, the smallest type in the 6AS7G/6080 family. Its sonic reputation is far from illustrious, but to my ears it sounds fine. The small T12 bulb makes it...

This is a living legend of a product, kudos to the man who invented it (forgot his name). Gilbert Briggs and Wharfedale made several groundbreaking inventions, including the metal blade cone suspension.

Shipping to US is OK. PM me for details.

Great! Ordered and on its way.

Thanks, but there's a lot of hassle with VAT and custom fees after Brexit, EU is preferable.

Anyone know where original Sennheiser head band pad can be bought in EU? Bought a Geekria but it won't lock to the headband.

Balanced discussion here: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/is-the-jade-really-a-balanced-amp.457047/ I only listen in "balanced" mode, to my ears it sounds better with bigger soundstage, more details in space and superior dynamics. As you get twice the output power I prefer driver tubes with...

Let's not complicate things. You have one problem and two solutions, maybe three. 1. An adapter with two TRS plugs and one female 4-pole XLR gives you the freedom to listen to anode or cathode with your headphones ordinary 6,35 mm plug, or balanced with the adapter. And makes it possible to...

Well, first you must confirm that four leads are actually connected all the way from the headphone to the 6,35 mm plug of your present cable. What does it look like, does it have a Y-split below the cups? If it's possible to open the 6,35 plug you can easily check this.

A friend of mine made a precious find deep in the digs of his basement workshop: the original manual to Audiotailor Jade. The specifications page may be of interest. Note that the input/driver tube is specified as 12AU7, not 12AX7. Joe Lau mentions in this thread that this was a copy error...

And it doesn't matter which plug you stick in which jack on the amp, you get proper L/R stereo anyway. The cable is the original one once supplied by Audiotailor/Joe Lau.

A nice pair of black Yamaha HP3 headphones in very good condition. Wonderful sound with deep bass and neutral midrange and without any stridency in the highs. Bag included.

AKG K50 from 1959, according to the company ”the world's first on-ear open headphone", years before HD414 and later Sony's many models. As a microphone manufacturer AKG knew how to apply a dynamic driver with light membrane into a headphone. Sounds surprisingly good for its age, and a pair of...
