Here you go:

stax male===========he60 female
2=======================1
5=======================3
3=======================4
4=======================6
1=======================2,5

if it is out of phase then flip pins 1 and 3 at the sennheiser end (or equivalent)

My KGSS should be here in a day or two and I too am looking to build the HE-60 to Stax adaptor. Have some noob questions as this is the first time I am trying to DIY.
1) The allied electronics part no. is 719-4027 and not 719-4207 as mentioned above? This WPI part can also be bought from Newark electronics for a bit less.

2) How is the pin numbering done for the Stax male jack? Looking from the front of the male jack with the notch (the protruding part on the top of the jack which ensures that it can fit into the female jack only when properly aligned) how is the pin numbering done?
N
5 1
4 6 2
3
3) The pin numbering for HE-60 jack looking from the front of the jack (cable part away from you) is from left to right? (1,2,3,4,5,6)

4) How do I solder the wire to stax male jack? On the rear side of the jack the conductors are not protruding out from the body and only the teflon body is visible.
Thanks for the info
Rohit

Nevermind. I figured it out. the amphenol connector inside the WPI part has the pin no.s written on it.
The pin diagram shown above has the right channel out of phase. The correct pin diagram should be

stax male===========he60 female
2=======================1
5=======================3
3=======================6
4=======================4
1=======================2,5

btw the HE-60 is sounding amazing with the KGSS
