    Good 6.3 mm snap-on adapter?

    Thanks - that's what I thought too, but just wanted to make sure... So now that I know functionality is the same with all of them, I guess I can be a stickler for the looks...   Any out there that looks especially nice? I am looking for a silver barrel with a gold plug end...(Like the adapter...

    Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80-Ohm Thread

    So my  modified Beyers will be terminated with a Switchcraft 3.5mm plug (nickel plated).   As I am no longer able to use the factory (original) screw-on 6.3mm adapter plug, I am going to need a snap-on 6.3mm (1/4 inch) adapter when using my home amplifier. Are there any that are better than...

    Good 6.3 mm snap-on adapter?

    ^Looks great ! and nice work!   Just a quick iphone pic during some testing using a small mini Onkyo home amp that usually does bedroom audio duty. Even with this small amp, which is not a dedicated headphone amp by any means, it sounds a lot better than running straight from laptop...This...

    You can probably get a better cable with sturdier strain relief if you're concerned. BTG Audio (Brian) will make any type of cable you ask him to, looks like.   (I am currently in communication with him about  a detachable cable mod for my 770 pro 80 ohms. (which will hopefully also result in...

    Ha  - I wish I had your talents- yours look great, indeed. :)   Anyway, BTG Audio has written back and said they can only do a locking jack (as the opening for a non-locking will be too big) on the DT770 and that I can choose any cable I want to, and they will terminate it with a locking plug...
