Weighing in from an audio engineering perspective - if you're working with an "active" system vs a "passive" one, gain will introduce more electricity into the signal, effectively "amping it up", more electricity introduced to the signal = more saturation / distortion.   So not only will the...

Quote: That would be great, but you probably will want to wait until I repair my unit again.

Quote: I'll be in LA county! :D

Quote: I'm actually in Medford, roughly 5 hours away I believe xD  

Quote: Currently in Wisconsin until March 1st, driving to California.

Quote: \ O_o / haha I'm at a loss.     Quote:   Good point, the discrepancy is more drastic than a few percent and if anything the higher ohms on the left side should mean it's more resistant to the signal hence quieter than the right, but sadly this isn't the case. I guess...

Quote: Ah I swore I saw it earlier lol but I couldn't find it, thanks again man!

  Quote: It is quite drastic :/ I appreciate the reply, if worse comes to worse I might have to do that.     Quote: Thanks for the heads up, I wonder if the warranty is still valid after one repair? I still had over a year left prior to that :/ I'll continue burning it in...

Quote:   Thank you for that information, I sincerely hope not but that's good to know :/ [edit: Would there be any possible solutions if this were the case? ]

Quote: Thank you for the tip, didn't know what I was doing. :D Alright the results are in, the left side reads 610 ohms, right reads 596 ohms. Shouldn't this mean the left side should be quieter? :/ that's quite a gap

Quote: Not familiar with that. roBernd, could you fill me in? I got a multimeter and on the 200 ohm setting both sides read 00.3, not too specific but I'm guessing that means 600? That's also the smallest ohm increment on this meter :/

Quote: Thanks much! I definitely will. :D

Quote:   Quote: Awesome, once again thank you both for your replies, this definitely gives me something to go on as it's been almost impossible getting ahold of the technician who did the work on my headphones. I think he's been selling refurb units on the sly under a...

Quote:   Quote: Thank you both for the replies! Actually no I don't have a multimeter first time hearing of one, my budget is pretty tight at the moment but could either of you provide me with a link to an affordable multimeter unit?   [edit: Would something like this...

Bump :D

Quote: Thanks for the quick reply, initially I thought that was possible but I a/b tested the balance using my pair of Beyerdynamic DT 770 pros 80 ohms, and the image was almost completely even (~ -2% on the right), I've scoured every possible setting on my pc and believe that all...

Hello everyone, been a long time lurker of this forum and it's been a valuable asset for deciding on purchases, for that I want to thank all of you! This is my first post here.   About 4 months ago I purchased a pair of Beyerdynamic DT880 600 ohm headphones, they were incredibly bright out...
