Happy anniversary of your date of birth. May you have many more.

Happy birthday,

Since the Taket manufacturers have the mod on their website, I think it would be a given that the amp is better than the transformer box. http://www.taket.jp/h2/h2.html Look at Method 3.

Sorry about the apuresound link. Didn't know about the history. My ESP 950 and one of my HE60's has been re-terminated by apuresound. That's the way whey were when I bought them.

apuresound still does the conversions, I believe. http://apuresound.com/ehrc.html

Rocky Racoon has a KGSSHV? That's worse than Bob Dylan singing opera.

Balanced is better. The mantra is true.

Your mother wears gumboots. When you were born you were so ugly, the doctor slapped your mother. You're in the wrong place, the zoo is down the road. You throw up better than that.

. You obviously haven't been to the other place in the Sound Science section and told them you can hear the difference in headphone cables. (Sarcasm meter is totally off scale with bent needle).

"Just got a balanced cable for my JH13s," Just a thought, could you have a connection between the earths of both channels in the cable? They should be separate. A quick check with a multimeter would tell. Check the cable removed from the IEM.

"Hmm, my JH13Pro are dead silent with my PWD at 100% " The problem is that cutestory has hum in the first 30% of the volume control travel. Above that to 100% all is OK. At zero on the volume control the signal input is at the same level as the signal ground.

Seeing it's a commercial product, not much. Unless you want to do some of your own mods. IEM's are notorious for picking up problems in headphone amps. You could try lifting the signal earth as some amps do with a switch. You would have to make a metal box with the input rca's shield isolated from the box, or have a resistor of around 10 to 100 ohms from input RCA earth to case. This acts as an earth loop breaker. The Output rca is connected to the box to shield the area inside, so only the signal goes through from input rca to output rca. You could also have a switch that when ON connects the earths, and in the OFF position breaks the connection. You would need one for each channel. Having one box for both channels could cause earthing problems in the system as you would then have 2 connections for the signal earths of each channel which is a rife recipe for earth loop problems. If you're really keen, a 2 way switch with a centre position can give you a no connection in the centre position, connection on one side, and a earth loop breaking resistor on the other side.

Could be an earthing issue. You may need to elevate the signal earth above the chassis earth by around 10 or more ohms as a earth loop breaker.

The yuletide season is in enough trouble with corporate greed without involving governmental intervention to make things worse. What's the best way to wreck any idea? Involve government..!!! Benevolent dictatorship is still the best option.

Stax extension cables are on ebay. All the other info can be found on the other site (Head-Fi). Do a search there.

SOURDOUGH, I just LOVE sourdough. There's a bakery in Katoomba called the Hominy Bakery which uses a culture from San Francisco that makes different types of sourdough. Their baguettes and fruit sourdough are wonderful. Wholemeal, yeasted, potato, pumpkin, etc. etc. Their rolls are great as well. You sometimes eat them without anything in them, just a plain wholemeal sourdough roll.

Roach city.. And I thought only earwigs liked to populate the aural orifice...

Interested, as I have a Taket T2, and expect this to be an improvement on the transformer box.

Watched the whole bit fly video. Wonder if you could eat them like the aborigines down here eat witchety grubs. Maybe Bear Grylls would take the challenge.

Is that for Tweedledee or Tweedledum? Would Lewis Carrol approve?

Happy Birthday audiosceptic. With a moniker like that, you need all the encouragement you can get.....
