hi there, I've done quite a lot of recabling on this DT770...like this one : http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f6/rec...0-done-425937/
but now, I think my left driver is slightly out of phase or possibly foobared
the stock cable doesn't have any plastic shielding on the 3 inner wires, but they're insulated w/ some vernish.
when I check the impedance of the 2 drivers, it's more or less identical....even though they used to give 622 on both sides when I bought them, then later on 628 on one side and 622 on the other.....and now they both give 624
I initially thought that my new soundcard was faulty, because I started having pain in my left ear right after buying it(which went away when forcing crossfeed in foobar
)
can an out-of-phase driver give pain to the inner ear
if I play mono, the sound is very much on the right side...and so is a sinetone in sinegen..ah well, it's really getting on my nerves at this point
right now I'm on the mobo onboard chip, and the left channel still sounds slightly out-of-phase...so my Asus soundcard is more or less ruled out. I guess it's time to recable everything again, put a furutech 1/4" plug and switch the drivers
if the sound is left centered afterwards, I guess the right driver is indeed busted....I won't be caught on recabling ever again, I can tell you that
