But as i have all the mechanical know-how of a slug - even when i removed the plug - still cant see the wires as they appear to be set or glued into the upper part of the plug where they are soldered! For final ref - here is the entire email i received from Steve...- Lee Brindley

Prob with balanced Denon D5000 / HR Amp.
Hi Lee, Sorry for the delay. If you post on head-fi, maybe copy the whole email I sent you explaining the situation so it is clear for anyone involved that it was Headroom who gave incorrect info on the pin configuration of their amp, against what I had expected the configuration to be. I...- Lee Brindley

Help re HR Balanced Amp - Tyll r u there!
Hi Tyll Perhaps i should have added - im not cross in any way - just pleased i got an answer to the problem. It was driving me mad and i thought all sorts - including my own sanity!

Prob with balanced Denon D5000 / HR Amp.
Opening the plugs on the Denon is easy enough but the wiring seems to be stuck or glued in the end of the XLR plug - not sure how to get it out ! I did email Steven Kelby - who did the work with the Denons / Jena wire and XLR plugs in the first place- but he has remained silent. Seems odd...- Lee Brindley

I unscrewed the XLR - but the wires seem to be stuck in - and even if i got them out i have no idea how to solder etc..... Does anyone know of anyone in the...- Lee Brindley

Prob with balanced Denon D5000 / HR Amp.
Ok - an update. Had an email saying the HR Max Bal will only send signal to bal cans if the source is balanced - i.e. xlr from CDP or output or rec-out on my amp to HR input. This i did with XLR bal cables. On rear of HR toggle set to balanced - and plugged in my BAL AKG701's and voila -...- Lee Brindley

Prob with balanced Denon D5000 / HR Amp.
Ok thanx - will give it a go. What i dont get thought is how the D5K worked when into a HR balanced desktop - yet no go into the MAX. The max works fine with the bal AKG ! Also the D5K when used with male/fem connectors and 1/4" works fine. Ticklish to say the least !!!! Will report...- Lee Brindley

Prob with balanced Denon D5000 / HR Amp.
Hi I think I'm going crazy! A while back i bought a HR Balanced Desk Top and and a re-cabled Denon D5000 Balanced from a fellow HeadFi-er (hey Damian!) All was well. Worked a treat. Then for an upgrade a sold the HR and got another amp that only accepted a 1/4" plug - so i had to...- Lee Brindley

Woo WA5-LE - ordered!
Hi Rob, I wouldnt say they weren't a good match - just not my preference! They were quiet as a mouse yes. I guess i just find the modded Denon D5k the best all round headphone ive had - AND - it gels really well with the WA5. Its all subjective though and i may find the new Grados a good fit...- Lee Brindley
