Alright, I have the AT W1000's, which have a 1/4" jack at the end that is not removable(permanent). So, if you want to plug it into a cd player with 1/8" jack, you have to get a 1/4" to 1/8" adaptor from rat shack. Well, I thought that I'd change the ohm resistance load on my W1k's with that Ety cable you can use to change a 4P into a 4S. So, here's how the hookup goes... from my W1k's 1/4 > into the 1/4-1/8 adaptor>then into the 1/8" end of the Ety conversion cable > then into the 1/4" jack that plugs into my amp(Cosmic). It's a lot of conversions in sizes, but for some reason, the sound only comes out of the left driver. Does anyone know why this could be? And, has anyone ever tried changing the resistance of their AT cans, or at least the AT cans that have permanent 1/4" jacks? Like it does with the Ety's and several other phones of mine, I would suspect that the impedance conversion cable would change the sound drastically...for better or for worse. Thanx in advance for any help anyone is able to offer
