I guess I slid in at the end too. I sent my money last night per Ray's instructions. Looking forward to spedning some quality time with the Predator and listening to it grow.

Ideally no adapters, but I've read shortest is best. (Recabling my HD650s with a 1/8" and buying a 1/8 to 1/4" adapter) Can't imagine there is much difference between the two you mentioned (assuming the RS1 adapter is short, same config as the HD650 included adapter BTW), but the cable adds flexibility. |

The reason I'm concerned about adapters is because I don't want to give the headphone jack of Predator undue stress, for long term durability. I already have Equinox cables with 1/4" connectors on them for use with my big amp. Re-cabling to accommodate the portable amp doesn't make much sense to me. I never expected true hi fi performance from a portable amp/source, however I'll admit an Equinox 1/4-to-mini adapter is a very tempting idea, since I use Equinox for both my K701 and HD650. Speaking of long term durability, I observed that the Predator comes with lifetime warranty |
