The first things that are coming to my mind when reading this are the stories about Grados bad solder joints of the cables I read here on head-fi.

Manfred / lini P.S.: Lisa: Do you happen to have access on some piece of equipment with a headphone jack and a mono switch - or some kind of mono adaptor (like a stereo interconnect that's been bridged to mono) you could use? I found that very helpful for testing purposes... |
