Please use orientation of your first picture
The notch is on the top.
Your second picture the notch is at the bottom
Please be careful that the negative L and negative right never short-out as it can burn internal components

OK, I did it like the first orientation, so I think this is it !

both top must be positive, both bottom are negative
Switch your right channel positive and right channel negative
Remember where the notch is, that is positive right channel and positive left channel
should be
+R +L
-R -L

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know or have measured the output impedance of the F-35 Lightning?

Don't know if its on his web page. Just write ray a note. He'll tell you, and you tell us.

I think it is around 3 ohms, which doesn't change the sound but does provide some short circuit protection. I have used it with all types of phones and always had great results.

Even with low impedance like SE846?

I do not believe it is that high. I use it with my SE846 and if it was 3ohms I would expect the impedance mismatch to boost the lows and scooped out the mids which I certainly do not hear with my admittedly untrained ear.
I posted the question out of curiosity. I remember when I bought my Lightning in January asking Ray if I would have a problem pairing it with the 8ohm 846 and received the rather vague answer of I should not have any problems.
Please do not take this as a criticism, I think the Lighting is the best portable amp for IEMs currently available.

I can't seem to find my power adaptor for the F-35. Can somebody post a picture of the adaptor and the voltage/amp specs.
Thanks in advance.

Does the power unit for the F-35 only charge the battery, or is it used instead of the battery if the battery is already full ?
I ask because I have an LPS unit that just so happens to match the voltage/output to F-35.
I just missed out on picking one of these units last week.

Having the power attached will work, but it adds noise. Keeping it connected is only recommended for burning in cables, the amp, the headphones, etc. the adapter is really only for charging. It's a portable amp. You know.
