QUOTE(ijan @ Jan 15 2007, 11:01 PM) okay, back to the DIY cable topic, REAN to L4e6s cable, how do most of u guys do the cable neways? remove the sheath of the cable then insert it into the REAN inlet or like me, grind the REAN inlet hole to accommodate the cable. look ma, no heatshrink required. i drilled it also. =P then put one extra short heatshrink at the clamping place. so that the clamp is not on the thin wire.QUOTE(yeah_guyz @ Jan 16 2007, 04:39 PM) lol..u remind me to mod sure will do. now try to order some pure silver cable. but hell ex.... no la i wanna recable my she9500 @pcwork when u found any thin cable do inform me if got, how many meter roughly u want? |

it's more expensive than buying silver from shop. if counted by gram.

@amir
F-12 is available in IC Electronics already...i went there and bought some time ago. not sure if its still available or stock finished again. but there still aint any respectable right angle (L-shaped) stereo minis around ler...sigh AS REQUESTED BY yeah_guyz...i posted this in the Sennheiser Thread. QUOTE(mADmAN @ Jan 19 2007, 03:34 PM) guys...just thought id share sumthing... a cheap way of improving/upgrading ur HD595s This post has been edited by mADmAN: Jan 19 2007, 03:53 PMi made 2 impedance adapters... 220 ohm and 100 ohm. and got my colleague to test it out on his rig which would be : PC -> Philips PSC805 USB Soundcard -> Cardas HPI mini-mini -> GoVibe 5 (with Elpac 24V PSU) -> HD595 specs of the adapters 220ohm - taiwan made stereo mini/ canare L-4E6S/ 220ohm resistors/ some japan made mini female jack. 100ohm - neurtik/ REAN plugs (the low end ones)/ canare L-4E6S/ 100ohm resistors/ some japan made mini female jack. so i handed it over to him and when he tested the 220ohms (total 270ohms) he was so happy that his cans finally had bass LOL. and couldnt stop saying "my cans finally have boom boom!!". even i was shocked (ive always disliked the 595 for the lack of bass). but he did say the mids and highs were a little recessed now. most likely caused by the lack of volume i guess. i just gave him another adapter for 100ohms (total 150ohms) a few hours ago to test and he said it sounds even better as its more balanced than the 220ohms. the word "wow" actually came out of his mouth. and he still raving about how good his cans sounds the adapters on my 250ohm DT990 made almost no difference honestly. only prominent difference would be the volume level. ive yet to try the adapters on my Philips HP250 (32ohms i think) to test it out. as for pix... i aint gonna post them up as theyre too ugly they just dont do my previous DIY cable works any justice hehehe. |

I tried 10, 15, 22, and 47 Ohm resistors. Add 5 Ohms to get approximate total DC resistance with each set. The 10 and 15 Ohm resistors were still laid back and relaxed with plenty of bass, as mentioned above. This is a very addicting sound. Sweetness. The transient response (articulation) was still very fast, and should not be impacted by the change of resistors. The sound is like a hot-fudge sundae. Mmmmmmmm...... If not for remembering the 'Ety' sig, I likely would have left it at that. At 22 Ohms (27 Ohms total) the "Ety" sound became a touch more apparent. A bit more high freq energy. Seemed like a nicely balanced response for most music. I enjoyed the time I spent at this setting. Everything sounded good. At 47 Ohms added (~52 total) the "Ety" sig became more apparent. Kinda like turning up the presence control. Breathing was more apparent with an upper end 'hhhhhh', if you know what I mean, as were fingers sliding down the neck of a guitar. Piano had that extra little high freq 'air'. These sounds were there before, but not with the high freq presence they now displayed. Stand up and take notice, but without dwarfing the bass. Definitely a sherbet. Veryyyy nice for a hot summer's day. The price of this leading edge 'definition' loved so much by Etyolics (myself included) was a slight decrease in the round, 3D like dimension of some vocals, such as the chestiness of tenors was diminished from before. All this is very variable and depends more on the recording itself than the style of music. That said, simple vocals vs complex orchestral works or rock bomb-basts handled it differently. Poorly recorded, etchy music was all the more so. hope some expert can explain y will affect the sound?  |

 i still don't get it. higher the resistance, the tougher to drive the phone. If add resistors won't it equals to turning down the master volume of your source? |

i remember reading in head-fi that the higher the resistance (impedance) the cleaner the sound as it will block out "noise" as well from going to the drivers making the sound "cleaner". not sure how true this is though. but its one of the reasons i decided to give it a try and made the impedance adapters.
i remember reading EFN mentioning his impedance adapter also made a significant improvement (cant remember exactly what improvement) with his LDM+ paired with Grado. also another reason y i decided to give it a try. |

er... isn't it more convenient to lower down the master volume of the source, and bump up the volume of the headamp?

QUOTE sure will do. now try to order some pure silver cable. but hell ex.... .... recable SHE-9500 with the 7N UPOCC silver??? siao, even the 24AWG wire costs USD10.50 per meterif got, how many meter roughly u want? .. though when I think about it, it might be interesting to have a pair of ksc-75s with that kind of cable...

impedance is the sum of resistance and reactance, resistors are pure resistors, they jus do linear attenuation. Voice coils has reactance due to parasitic capacitance/inductance, so watever you do, you would onlly linearly attenuate the sound. However, output stages sometimes require a higher output load to maintain stability, otherwise it would be unstable and generate an increased noise floor.
I still dun see why adding plain resistors in series can give 'multiple, different' sound effects when they are plain..linear. Placebo at its best maybe.. |

However, output stages sometimes require a higher output load to maintain stability, otherwise it would be unstable and generate an increased noise floor. True, but you have to factor in that inductance can form a cut off via resonance (like a micro low pass filter). Something like making it smoother at the top end because it cuts of some of the spectrum. Although the effect would be very very small, and of course who knows if the resistor drift makes the sound warmer I still dun see why adding plain resistors in series can give 'multiple, different' sound effects when they are plain..linear.

my bad, true true true.
 so all these series resistors do play a role, bravo |
