Remote Switching a Lyr/Modi
Hi all So I've put a new cabinet in my living room, and I'd like to put the amp in it. The problem is it'll make the rear panel switches difficult to reach. Any issues, operationally, with leaving the device power on all the time, and installing them in a switched socket? - John- j0hn

Gold plated jack for old AKG K240? Good upgrade? Where to source?
Hey forum So when I got a pair of AKG K240s, the jack was all messed up. The soldering was wrong and a bunch of the plastic was melted from near the terminals. It's also chromed not gold plate, so I'm thinking this is a good time to either replace with AKG or upgrade to gold plated. ...- j0hn

Rewiring K240's: which cable is which?!
Hey forum Before you tell me I should have checked before taking it apart, it was wrong when I got it! So I have a pair of K240s that were wired up wrong (TOTALLY wrong) with two wires connected to the ring, one to the tip and one to the sleeve. This is the old setup that has the "square"...- j0hn

Is this what the jack solder is supposed to look like in K240s?
Update: I've actually found the issue, and I'm going to fix them myself (after some negotiation with the seller). This was pretty hilarious when I figured it out. Sleeve to ring impedance: ~600 ohm Sleeve to tip impedance: ~1200 ohm At which point I went "ABUH?!" And then...- j0hn

Is this what the jack solder is supposed to look like in K240s?
Okay I'm glad it's not just me. I was considering re-doing it myself, but I bought them on the flea-bay and the seller is willing to take them back, thankfully. Now to find another pair...- j0hn

Is this what the jack solder is supposed to look like in K240s?
Got a pair of sextetts in the mail, and was shocked to find the right ear not working, and then further shocked to find what looked like booger solder on the jack. This doesn't look like it was done in a factory in Austria. Can anyone confirm that it's not supposed to look like this? I'm...- j0hn

"Long Time Lurker"... introduction thread and gear advice
Hey Head-Fi Wanted to introduce myself - I've been a lurker here for years (YEARS!) starting when I needed to buy some replacement cables for some Sony MDR-V700DJ headphones.
