Are they all using 75 ohms? No clue, I haven't searched. I would think some would have tried other values. Just piggy back on what works best if you don't want to experiment. I don't have a KSC75 so I can't comment more on that.
For im716, snip the pod out and put resistors in line. Again, experiment. I chose 68 as JSatch did. It sounded best to me amped. Of course, unamped it totally sounds like crap. Others chose 47, and others chose 100 IIRC. See how it varies?

The Supermini's extra 75ohm resistor suits my situation perfectly! Sure I'd prefer more resistance if possible, but now I don't have to add anything inbetween cables or have an adapter that can be lost. Perhaps the KSC75 would benefit from an additional 20ohms, but the tradeoffs for SQ prolly aren't even worth me thinking about this for another second. |
