Hi, @jfunk ! I have received your Ultra-low capacitance balanced cable with 4 pin XLR for Beyerdynamic T1 / T5P (Pono / XLR / A & K) cable and I only have one question: When I bought the cable, the photo on ebay showed two TRS mini jacks and you sent me with two TS mini jacks. Is there a difference in sound or performance between these two connections? The cable works fine with both the Focal Elegia (serial cable are two-TS) and the Sony MDR-Z7M2 (serial cable are two-TRS), but I have that doubt.

Thanks.

Sorry, @jfunk, but after several days, the cable is giving problems in the left connector, both with the Focal and with the Sony. Sometimes I have to disconnect and connect 2 or 3 times for it to sound correctly balanced. Where should I write to fix it?

Thanks

Third cable I’ve bought from Custom Cans, all of them work perfectly. This is noticeably better sound quality than another third party cable I bought which makes me think there might have been a problem with it (or this one is magic)

Can someone recommend good colour combinations for the paracords please? I am bewildered by the choices available and any pictures with the colour choices would be great!

I had a great experience with custom cans recently. Jason could not have been more communicative or nicer to deal with and he got my order out fast and at very reasonable cost to USA. I haven’t ordered cables from him (at least not yet), but I ordered the beautifully made and very effective copper weight mod for my HD600. Installation was intuitive and easy as pie - it took me <10 minutes including carefully removing the outer foam discs, which I had done some time ago. Most importantly, the sonic improvements made by adding the weights and removing the foam is substantial. More extended, tighter bass (the previous weak spot), gorgeous midrange (as always) and delicious treble (liquid and detailed with no hint of sibilance) are now all there in spades. I did add the all leather pads from new Fantasia which replace the inner foam with a built in nylon stocking as part of the mod, and the two seem to work together like magic. I’m not unhappy with the HD650 cable, so I didn’t order a new custom cans cable, but I would not hesitate to do so when the time comes. I am a very happy customer and I am once again in love with my custom cans modified HD600. Highly recommended!!

Can somebody please advise?

I have Oppo PM-2 headphones, and a Sony NW-WM1A player.

I'm using a balanced cable to the 4.4mm balanced jack.

I got the cable from the US from LQi Cables.

One of the stereo channels keeps dropping, until I rotate the plug on the cable a few times.
It's really annoying and I want to get another cable.

Thing is, I don't know if it is the cable that is faulty, or the Sony player.

I know that if I order a cable from Custom Cans, it is custom made, so I cannot return it.

What do you think? Could it be the cable?

 

[MartyMcfly3004]

Hard to say. You could try putting a bit of rubbing alcohol on the jack and putting it into the connector and twisting it around. This can help clean the contacts if it’s the player.

Sometimes the plugs themselves can get loose from twisting and just need to be screwed back together nice and tight.

Confirmed it is indeed the cable.
Got a £35 "Ablet" cable from Amazon.
Works fine.
I'll order the Custom Cans cable.

 

[OppoGuy]

Custom Cans offered to fix my LQi cable (for a fee).

Got it back today. Problem now fixed.

Excellent service from Custom Cans.

Highly recommended.

Hey guys!

I'm selling off my HEKV2 (a perfectly functional headphone, but one that really just did nothing to make my heart tingle. Not to mention the build quality...) and had a hankering for my old 1990s before falling down the "what if they were balanced" hole. CustomCans clearly offers a great range of stuff at some very reasonable pricing - does anyone have any experience with the "mass loading and damping kit" specifically for the 1990s? Improved bass detail and soundstage sounds nice, but I'm just wondering if anyone has any anecdotal evidence to back these claims up - or warn me off if it ends up bloating the bass nastily or something.

Lusting for that German build quality again, with an English engineering flair

Thanks!
