Safe to use this?
I don't think that is how the cables are wired from the SE plug to the 4pin, as I don't see any references to the ring, tip, or sleeve of the 1/4 jack, unless left + means tip, left - and right - mean sleeve, and right + means ring. Only sure way to know is via a multimeter, I suppose. You'd...- stingray0104

Best Bang For My Buck?
Haha not so much as you think. There is always more to learn. The most important thing to keep in mind is that everyone has their own preferences and what someone else loves you yourself may not like at all. Try to find out what your preferences are, and look for only objective statements when...- stingray0104

Schiit Ragnarok Amplifier
You are correct. In that scenario it would not be equivalent to a balanced (headphone) cable. A balanced headphone cable requires a separate positive and negative input for each channel (allowing each input to be driven actively), for a total of 4 separate inputs. A 1/4 TRS jack was not designed...- stingray0104

Best Bang For My Buck?
Not sure there is a single thread/resource where you can learn all that you say you want to learn. Regarding the specific stuff you mentioned, here's a bit to get you started: -A nice page to get to understand the frequency ranges, from 20hz-20000hz, ie, the lows, mids, highs...- stingray0104

The Deals DISCUSSION Thread (READ THE FIRST POST!!!)
I like the idea, but I think there are easier ways to save $100 on a LCD-X. It's been a while, but I've had luck contacting Sonic Electronix directly for better than $100 savings on the LCD-X. If you've got brick and mortar stores around you they may give you discounts as well. Calling around in...- stingray0104

Review by 'stingray0104' on item 'Sennheiser IE800'
As I have recently started moving away from IEMs, I wanted to get some of my thoughts out there on the IE800 before I forget them, in case they may be helpful to others. I have owned the IE800s (and SE846) for 1.5 years and have had a chance to really get to know them. That being said...- stingray0104
