Some of the larger diameter 1/8" aftermarket Neutrik headphone plugs hit a thin lip around the headphone jack, and prevent full insertion. In my case these fatter plugs are only on my full size headphones that were re-cabled by APS. The smaller version of the plug from Neutrik (like those on several of my line out docks) fit fine. But the APS cable is thicker than normal headphone cables and needed a wider plug. Nuforce made some changes so wider headphone plugs will be less of an issue in the future. If a person has a problem, Nuforce will give them the newer case/shell for the amp. |

Does that black case/cover just pop off? |

It sounded like overall you thought they were equal but different; each had its strengths and weaknesses but ended up tied at #5. But it also sounded like there were pretty specific potential problems w/ each w/ respect to the Grados (sibilance, low midrange bump and suck out, female vocals). Does it still come down to equal but different depending on individual preference when it comes to using w/ Grado? Is there a first choice in this price range for Grados? |
