Pictures of Your Portable Rig (part XVI)
Jul 15, 2013 at 4:43 PM Post #5,506 of 37,692
What I have realized from my favorite gear/synergy is that I can zoom in or zoom out the sound without losing any separation, clarity, extensions of the lowers and bass. No distortion of the sound whatsoever. The sound is "elastic" and you can stretch it as far as you want without hurting your ears. Sometimes I listen to my music at the lowest vol possible and then I repeat it with the vol pushed to the max on my UHA-6S. Totally different listening experience but very enjoyable.
 
The sound stage, 3D imaging, separation, clarity (details). extensions of lowers and bass, and elasticity are the key elements of quality sound to my ears. What I can't stand is muddy/hollow/grainy (dry) sound, not even a little for my music.

My balanced interconnect from Brian @ BTG Audio arrived today
 

 
And my new HD25 cable too, with multiple ends.
 

 
If you are the conductor of the "balanced train" good luck throwing me off.  I totally get it now....

Oh, the pain of waiting! I have been waiting on my mini to mini for just a bit longer than the stated build time. But I am sure it will be worth the wait. Nice IC, btw, for sure.

Freshly upgraded!
 
IPC 120gb to Chris_Himself OCC/Silver LOD to JDS C5 to Hiflight modded KSC75s. I reviewed the 75s on the Giant Killer forum. Ron's mods took an already good sound and MAXED IT OUT. Loving this rig!

The mods Ron did at Hiflight were: a headband mount, replacement center-holed pads, drilled and resin coated driver covers, and an additional 47 ohm impedance upgrade (bringing the total to roughly 107).

The ksc75 never fails to bring a smile to my face.

I just finished recabling mine with grado cables. Had it laying around after I recabled my sr60 with cardas cables.

Very nice! Are those the red Grado pads that are on eBay?

No I dyed them myself... I had 2 pairs of hd414 pads so dying them myself was cheaper. The 2nd pads are for my grados but I got some free g-cush pads so now the 2nd pair is just sitting there.
