It's a 4 pin cable, and I've attached the right sides to the headphones. I have the switch set to BAL on the Mjölnir. It is a stock HD650 cable reterminated, so It could've been done wrong, but I doubt it. Hmm...

Do you have DMM? Pins 1 to 4 should be L+ L- R+ R-

 

[mackat]

I do, but sadly I don't know where it is right now. It's just that vocals and instruments in the centre sound sort of "inverted" if you can understand what I'm saying.

If this pans out to be true, I'll invert one of the channels in my headphone to try out this new sound.  It may be the new rage!

Try changing cables to the 'wrong' side and listen again.

 

[mackat]

You mean swap the cables at the headphones, right?

 

[Maxvla]

Yes.

Hmmm...well I switched the cable at the headphones and all that did was switch the channels

Hmm...I wonder!

Who made the cable? Could be the polarity was swapped

Got mine today!!
How many hrs of burn in?

 

[SeaHawk]

What usually works for me to check polarity is put on a mono source and listen if it sounds disembodied rather than in your head (or slightly ahead of you).  Listening to mono should not add any left/right spatial information.  (Disregard this entirely if you are listening to tubes.. )

Swapping channels ain't gonna do crap. Elwapplo's diagnosis is probably correct.

Who made this cable again?

Lol, uhoh .... public shaming !
 
It's really easy to do on the HD650 stock cable. The cable +/- is set up in a confusing way as I remember. It was one of those use the multimeter 20 times mods.

Leave it on a good 100 hours before sitting down for critical listening and never turn it off  Its warm up time is lengthy.
