Balanced headphones, the Blockhead, and Electostatics vs. Dynamics
Jun 20, 2002 at 10:59 PM Post #16 of 16
I talked with Tyll about the "balanced Airhead," and even found him a possible 1/8" connector in the Calrad catalog. The issue is indeed rooted in the noise and the crosstalk from the common return at the plug.

As far as the crossfeed goes, you can always leave it off. And it is selected and carefully designed crosstalk!

Maybe one of you DIY'ers can build an amp to work with loudspeakers wired for a common return after the amp, before the speakers (i.e., to make them wired like headphones). I wonder what that would do...
