I still dont quite get why they would need 8 wires to run them balanced. The grado cable has 4 conductors which is all you need for balanced opperation. Guess we shall see.
I assume you have a recabled pair. I was just saying that you can in fact use the stock cable and reterminate it to balanced.
Such as these PS-1s or the L3ks below them
I cant imagine that price being for a balnced blackdragon cable... maybe the blue... but that really is no different then the stock cable. All grados have 4 wire cables already so they are very simple to make balanced. That is my beat as to what they will do. That price aligns with other balanced offerings so I would not be suprised to find that $150 is for simply reterminating the stock cable to balanced (the Grado cables are actually rather nice).
I typically do reterminations for $45 or so.
Holly crap TTVJ is asking $150 to terminate the GS1ks to balanced... Unless that includes a recable that is rather steap. That takes maybe 20-30min to reterminate a pair of headphones...
The part where you said those things was great....
Too bad no one will get to see it now that Jude has officially shut down headfi because he was sick of it...
Ill be there with ummm my DA10 and 650s.
KGSS and O2s are on order but wont be here for a month or so
I do have some 404s though nothing to plug them into... maybe some 5pin tube socket?
Oh good now we will have the Jahn spam-bot posting away here every day... I still see you mananged to get 30 new posts on headfi last nigth though
Oh and Jude said this about you:
I dont care what they carry I still refuse to go there... I cant stand getting molested every two secondes by their ignorant sales team.... that and the lady friend refuses to go there with me too as I always use to play with the sales people and make them look the like the fools they are.
Well I have another suggestion then... buy them and give them to me... solves two problems, you wanting to buy a pair and you not wanting another full-sized can. See, its that easy
Looks like my rig will look like this:
Dynamic: DA10 >> Balanced 650
Stat: DA10 >> KGSS >> 007 and 404
So I guess its "really" just one rig but with a nice dynamic option
