Speaking of recabling and ksc-75, here's my ksc-75 that is reborned just 2 hours ago by non other than our PcWorks here. Any of u guys here that heard rumours about what these little cable mods can do... trust me, its no rumour =)

[attachmentid=256655]

Loving this phones now, a little problem occured during the mod, but everything was fine, and oh... my deepest apologies to Tek and Tachikoma for keeping you 2 waiting =(

Took the cable home right after the mod, didnt wanna listen to it first and was thinking to get home,bath,get into the mood, then properly audition it. Unfortunately, hands was itchy while waiting for dinner... so i listened to it while waiting for my dish to be served....

was pretty noisy back then, didnt have the chance for in-depth analysis, however, the most distinct difference are the more balanced tone. For me, the only drawbacks for the ksc-75 was the highs, it gets really annoying for some tracks and its way too bright for my liking, the recabling get all that back to balance, and somehow on tracks like "hotel california", "True Colours - Emi Fujita" i do notice slightly improved bass impacts...

well.. thats all for now, im dead tired. Once again, thanks to Tachikoma for the ride home =)

It does increase my listening pleasure, placeabo effect? nope i dun think so... it does makes difference, well.. at least for me it does. I do think each of us has different taste in sounds, an RM5k cans can sound just like a RM50 to the ears of some. (just like a colleague of mine )

One thing thats for sure about the ksc-75, the difference of a properly burned-in and a brand new ones. My ksc-75 is nearly about a year old, and last 2 months i got another new set which was meant for my gf, both of them really sounded very very differently. Especially the highs which are much much more subtle than of a new ones.

Anyways... i do enjoy the recabled ksc-75, for the price (RM80+45=120)... i doubt i can actually find something that sounds better and as comfortable as the ksc-75... though i actually find that the new cables are a lil too flashy to my liking

Statements above are all just IMHO.

muffled...? i think its the opposite

for sure, the spark plug which is around the same price as ksc-75 do perform EXTREMELY bad, and very very "muffled" is the proper word to describe it. Never expected the same brand with a close price range can be this much of a difference

And yea, i do prefer the "dreamy" types as well, sometimes, certain details can be a spoiler to a pleasant track and its better not to hear them

*cough* that dreamy headphone he's talking about is the SR-Gamma Pro electrostat which is anything but un-detailed =P and I meant "muffled" in a relative way... as far as cheapies go they're not I suppose. But IMO the KSC-75 does lack some extension in the upper end (and yes, a headphone can be sibilant and still lack treble extension)

i duno y i still prefer my ori ksc-75 than PcWork recable , just my own test thou
sith lord, i head u tat day fix a broken driver ksc-75.... scary nia...
will catch up with u later on

OT: just back from KK anyway, and yeah, i did reach to Low's Peak

dude
u heard two different type of ksc75 sound
1. recable with my cable
2. done kramer mod (drill the grill)

i though you tell me.
1. recable increase amount / impact of bass?
2. you don't like the over bright sound?

I just came back from KL yesterday to do the t-shirt bulk thingy, and got myself a new toy.

The built-quality is very superb, being approve by not only me, but together with =Hanxz=.
After auditioned by both of us, we found out that its a lot easier to be driven.
A lot brighter and clearer than stock's, more detail on instruments, bass is tighter and more powerful.

wah lao, nice man.... walabies ask bro pcwork to modd it another chapalang headband use koss driver then no need the clip

where i can get this ksc75 beside than bulk bcoz bulk need to wait for 1 month or something. any shop around kl is selling this baby?and anyone noe roughly what is the price selling at the shop?thank you...really going to buy this baby soon...cant wait, getting boring with my mx500 bcoz lack of bass...
