so it's better to just get an adaptor instead of reterminating my cables ? is that what you say ?

would you rather reterminate or get an adaptor ?

Adaptors are always going to be the weaker link as you have the plug connection, solder, adaptor materials and so on in the chain but the question is if you can hear these differences. I have always had my cables terminated for their primary use and then gone with adaptors if I on occasion needed something else. So both my JH13 and Z1R are now terminated with 4.4 and I then have a 4.4 female to 3.5 trs male adaptor so I can use them on iPhone and iPad.

Guys, any thoughts on the following?
So far im not overly impressed with the performance of my Sony/Kimber cable balanced vs Alo Ref 8 single ended on the 1Z. Most reviews etc. say that balanced is the way to go but I've got to be honest at the moment I'm finding the Sony/Kimber/balnaced combo a little meh when compared to the Alo Ref 8. Nothing wrong with it I just expected more based on what I've read. Im thinking the Sony/Kimber cable maybe the weak link in the chain rather than the 1Z balanced output?

I would really like to hear your thoughts, experiences on this. I would particularly like to hear what cables you would recommend as I am considering buying a upgraded balanced cable to really get the best out of the 1Z.

Its true Sony Kimber 4.4 cable is weak. It has good bass, but it's so cloudy/hazy. What you can do is reterminate your Ref8 to 4.4 mm. Email Alo for retermination. I think I pay $20 with shipping fees. It's worth it. Performance up another level with 4.4 mm. What Iem are you using?

Im using Westone W80's. they are sounding great out of the SE with the Alo cable so I think your suggestion could be the way to forward :L3000:

Awesome. How large is the formatted capacity?

393,803,202,506 bytes (which is where the manufacturers get the "400GB"), which translates to 366 GB when u calculate how much this is in GB:

393803202506/1024=384575439.9 KB

384573439.9/1024=375559.9 MB

375559.9/1024=366.7 GB

This rule is true for *all* storage devices!!!!

Yes in marketing speak they calculate in multiples of 1000 and not in multiples of 1024
