I use Creative EP630 earphones in bed to watch a movie or listen to some music before going to sleep. Being only 16ohm, there was a bit too much of hiss, both using the Fiio or not. This was solved with the following impedance adapter (22ohm). The resistors were matched with a multimeter. All parts came from some PC component I retrieved from the garbage, however, this costs less than 1euro to build.

Indeed that is a very interesting and clever adapter.

Here is my Dual Silver Wire LODs

i always use the 11 to ground easier to solder and less chance to short.

 

[rarebear]

I use the Audio Ground with micro heat shrink so no change of short..
 
I may change........
 
Are all grounds just a ground??
 
Why is the audio ground a audio ground
 

 

[momomo6789]

b/c audio ground sound cooler ... ofc
 
heres my cute little lod

 

[Dookky]

Is there an advantage to using a LOD over the minijack, besides coolness factor of course

 

[FallenAngel]

Of course, the "minijack" is the headphone amp, the LOD - Line Out Dock, as the name implies is line-level.

 

[logwed]

The line-level signal being unmolested by the iPod's attenuator.

 

[Dookky]

ahhhh, haha, i probably should have guess that by the name

How did you manage to get those wires to stick side by side of each other? or did the wires came like that, haha. Care to share where you got them?

I made this for a forum member..
It has 20G silver wire and Neutrik pins which I shorten a 1/4" each..
I think it makes them look much better but no strain relief clamp but with 20G wire I think it will last..

Finally finished my recable on my Grado's. I installed mono jacks inside the cups incase I ever want different cables. It is Blue Mogami with Carbon Techflex over it with Via blue plugs. I know there are some flaws in it but It looks nice and is the length I want!
