WOW: Question

 

[Midgetguy]

Both, when I tried it just didn't seem to want to snap into position and didn't want to force the issue and potentially damage the mmcx, the er4 mmcx have a little notch locator which stops them turning unsure if this would have a part to play in not connecting easily though, the Male cable side has the lip and the female iem side the notch...I would imagine that maybe I'd the cable is not very very light it would possibly pull a bit more too being stuck straight out and the etys really do require a good seal.

The notch is really likely just a notch to stop the turning, but the other thing....I remember a really long time ago that I ran across some people saying/documenting they had a helluva time trying to deal with MMCX because while they didn't see anything necessarily different about listings or specs, they said that generic MMCX and something like Shure MMCX were different due to slight variance in that connector length before the connector snaps in. And to that end, they said that if it was the wrong one, it would be too short to go in and snap-connect properly. I've obviously never validated any of these types of claims, but I definitely remember coming across them and thinking that sounded like an odd thing.

talk of precarious connectors, noble and encores in my case. its a 2 pin and i thought id break em connecting my DHC cable. never a/b because of that. left it in 2 years so good. sure 846 fit like a bug in a rug for my DHC copper cable.

This sounds about right to me and similar experience with trying to connect standard mmcx, I have heard a few odd posts of achieving it but nothing concrete.

I did a quick search, sounds like @ClieOS here on Head-Fi is supposed to have a good idea about what's up with these connectors. Also, I though you were successful with this like a year ago in the ER4 thread?

Clieos is the one who probably knows more , I built 2 cables for the etys last year and posted here and on the ety thread, both mmcx worked great and both were angled and specific for etys from lunashops...if I were wanting to use cables i already owned I would just replace the mmcx , just need a little solder experience quite easy to do.

WOW:

Just a quick one before I switch everything off.
There's not much electronic/dance music that I like, but this album is terrific and darkly atmospheric
It's the whole album in 320k mp3, but if I've done this right, it should start straight at the appropriate song (A Question Of Lust):

D Mode!!!!!

I am going to add that album to one of my daps.

The hell?? Just popped in the NX7 and it gave me that feeling! Really love the Nicehck cable they had on sale too, nice heft, super flexible, great solid connector... Ok. Guess the R2's are going up for sale eventually.

You might want to hold off selling these right now. Bob has a sale going on for the R2’s. I believe they are going for 250 GBP. Would hate for you to lose too much on these.

Thanks for the head's up. Wrote to Bob too just in case... But to be honest, I was gonna sell at a loss anyway

My word of the week sees me happy this week.



I finally get to see this lot next year at a Festival here in the UK. They have been sat at the top of my list of bands I've yet to see for a while now.

Perhaps a controversial personal view of the Topping DX3 DAC/Amp that I posted today on the relevant thread. (It has dual AK4493 DAC chips)

Facilitation Alert to @jerick70 and @HungryPanda

I still don't like the pricing/sales structure he uses, all the way back from the days of TAE. Why have this ridiculous MSRP that can pretty much only serve to piss people off because there'll be a "sale" price on it like 2 weeks to a month later? Make it $350-400 right off the bat and don't run any discounts or sales for at least 3 months or even better, 6 months.
