AKG K340 modding thread
Of course, if you're connecting to speaker terminals, just whack the end off and experiment, no biggie. Just label when you're done, before you solder it onto anything else.

Assume they don't, and use a multimeter to determine which wire goes where.

Rank Your Headphones
To my ears, the PS1s get tone right, and the RS1s don't. For the things RS1s work for, they're amazing. But PS1s aren't so limited.

I'd lease a 135i, and have the dealer do all the maintenance. But if you're stretching at $400 a month, you should get a japanese car. BMWs are a pain in the ass if you don't keep up with the maintenance.

Balanced amp on the cheap - suggestions anyone?
Not really, no. You could argue that it's not, but in terms of how it works, a transformer balanced single ended input has all the benefits of being balanced through the entire signal chain, with the exception that you don't get the noise rejection between the source and amp. But really, most people don't need that, because they're not running 100 ft interconnects in a high noise area.

Yes, it's expensive to maintain. It's a finicky pain in the ass. But DAMN fun to drive. And I have less than $2000 in it.

Good transformers can do a better job making a single ended source sound good than some balanced implementations in the sources themselves.

Just a guess, but I'd venture that you are the reason you were getting harrassed by mods.

As long as you think about what you're asking, and listen and discuss, you'll probably get good advice.

Thinking about getting an L3000...
Probably less than $1400 in parts.

The tooleaudio balanced mosfet amplifier does a great job of driving 580s. And has cinemag transformers to balance the iphone input...

Audio Technica headphone question -- closest to leatherhead?
My guess: he wants to talk to serious potential customers, to upsell.

There are plenty of people who like RSA who aren't dismissed in general. But you dismissed headphones based on a setup that would have very little likelihood of sounding good.

I'd bet the problem is the exchange rate.
