Headphoneus Supremus
Hi all,
I got curious today and decided to balance my KTXPRO1. I know this is very impractical and not worth it considering the price of the phone itself. Though I was surprised that balancing made a decent improvement to SQ.
The bass has gotten even tighter than before in single ended mode and also has a little bit more depth/impact to it. Highs are smoothened out and not tin like they were before. Mids sound a little fuller and smoother but detailing is about the same. The soundstage is about the same to me as it was before though.
These are probably due to the fact that the amp is in "super" control of the headphone and is pushing a ton of power into it. I mean it's being driven by a Roc and is capable of putting 1.8W into this portable phone. Now the improvements weren't major, but were indeed noticeable and worth it IMHO.
Well next week I'll be balancing some SR-225i's once they arrive. I'll be doing experiments with other phones as well, so if you guys want me to balance some phones and test them out, let me know. This will be a way to see what phones improve the most.

Also you'll notice some electrical tape where I cut off the silver cable and soldered this on directly. I know this is not fare to the test but, I could not open the KTXPRO1 since I glued them she the last time I opened them up.
