You have the XC, too? Lucky person lol.
Which color/finish did you get?
Purple Heart, same as my profile photo

Yes that is true, they have cut their teeth in the dynamic drivers but it would be fascinating to see what they could do.
Good news is that the T1 stock cabling is pretty much already set-up for balanced. So all you'd really need to do is reterminate the jack.

Can one get balanced cables for the t1? I would love to drive the t1 through my Ragnarok, in balanced mode?
Yep, there are some guys on here who have done that mod. And I think Drew and Moon Audio does it, as well. I'm not a mod guy, so can't help with the details....hopefully someone else will chime in about that. But I do know its possible
Dear beatlebob4, Like this? - venus_audio |
Dear venus_audio, Hi, I have a question about something else, hopefully you can help me. Does this exist : an adapter to connect a 1/4 cable plug to a 4 pin xlr plug which then connects into a 4 pin output jack at the front of a HP amp, ie. the Auralic Taurus mkII. I have Beyerdynamic T1 HPs & because the cable not detachable I was hoping there would exist an adapter that would permit me to connect the 1/4 plug into the adapter which at the other end would have a xlr 4 pin connection. Can't find any. Hope you can help. I'm not a handy man so I can't even imagine recabling/converting the T1s into a balanced mode myself. Thanks. |
This might help. I just ordered this adapter from Venus Audio on eBay. The guy's name is Dale. He makes the adapter with different types of wire; I chose Cardas. My initial question about an adapter is at the very bottom; his reply w/picture is a the top :

Agreed and should be heeded. Ray Samuel Audio's Lightning is like that where you can't just make an adapter and short the ground without burning out the output stageWhta I understand this is an adapter from XL4 male to 1/4" female... which does not make it balanced as the 1/4" is still only 3-pin... It just lets you connect a T1 to an amp that does not offer a 1/4" jack.
Careful though, I've heard that not every amp architecture is happy with doing that (i.e. shortening the - pins).
Well now, I didn't know that; never considered the 3 pin unbalanced 1/4 plug. Sh@! !!! I've already ordered it so I don't know if the guy would cancel it. Have to check the return policy. Thanks Plakat.
