    XLR Headphone Cable

    I saw in headphone.com that Sennheiser HD 600 has XLR cable for blockhead. What is the use of XLR? Because I don't think HD 600 can make good use of balanced signal.

    Going to Australia and Hong Kong, what to see and buy...?

    Are there any sonic differences between a original CD and a burnt copy?

    My experience is: Using Kodak gold (74 min) For better quality cd(eg. LSD of Enigma), the CDR give less detail and transparent sound But for poor quality cd(eg. non-digitally remestered slippery when wet of Bon Jovi), CDR give better sound in bass and air feel

    Have anyone had these hearing experiences(/problem?)

    Team HD 600?

    May be I have turned the volume too loud (DIY Corda HA-1 for about 10 to 11 o'clock), but that's enough to isolate me from a ordinary Hong Kong house. In a room of twenty square feet, I just feel I was being brought to a concert hall.
