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 =)



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

sigh sigh, i cannot afford to be poisoned by headphones... im not really a headphone dude, prefer speakears and if i were to go portable... tak kan wan me to bring a headphone and put it on in public

These days its really dangerous to walk around with expensive stuff, when im outside, i wont bring much money.. at most, just my nano,ksc-75 and even my phone ill just bring my z610i. Im prone to being robbed lost so many expensive belongging due to being rob. Therefore i think the ksc-75 is a good choice to go portable, its cheap and it sounds good and someone wants to rob me, ill just give everything to him plus, i dont really like in ears... so tell me, is there anything better than my current portie choice?

yes i do notice it, but im a picky fellow u see... the ambience must be right as well. I dont think i can fully enjoy/audition your setup on that day as well, got alot on my mind, you can see my phone isnt stopping too haha...

are u sure sold out? when did u ask him? got his pm yesterday and i even banked in the money for it already...

aiks... that was u ka hahaha, sorry le. Anyways, i already recieved his package in good condition. Ive already have a unit myself which was recabled by PcWork, this unit is for a friend of mine =) I wont go back to stock cables now that im used to the recabled version.

welcome to the club =)
out of package the sound is quite alright, but too bright for me. Do trust me on 1 thing, the difference after burn-in is quite significant... well, at least for me it is. And now its even better after bro PcWork's cables.

yea its too bright to my liking, especially on certain female tracks, its like they are shouting right inside my ears. So.. yea kramel mod is definately not for me =)

Its my best friend on my 5 days stay in the hospital

what the....
there really is no limit to the ksc-75 modding
i wonder whats next
im thinking to make a philkoss as well... with my unused HP2700 and since i never liked it very much to begin with, the hp805 sounds way better. Might post some worklogs later when i have the time

edit,
i remember there was some hp805 mod some time ago.. cant find it, anyone mind to redirect me ?

amped or unamped is totally up to your own preference. If you feel that you dont need and amp and satisfied with it as it is, then my suggestion is, just leave it be and enjoy yourself =)

Its easy to get seduced to the dark side... and its no turning back once ur in
