Grado RS-Zero/1i/3/Surround/0/Mushroom/Thingy/Bagels
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.

Grado RS-Zero/1i/3/Surround/0/Mushroom/Thingy/Bagels
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

Grado RS-Zero/1i/3/Surround/0/Mushroom/Thingy/Bagels
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.

What is the best relatively cheap DAC I can get?
The Nixon Tubedac+ or whatever it is called was a very nice little dac while I had it... did a great job at taking the often SS edge off stuff.

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...

Best Buy
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.

Grado RS-Zero/1i/3/Surround/0/Mushroom/Thingy/Bagels
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
