PFKMan23 Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Where are the impressions?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 They're on the blanket underneath the cables? They're not very deep impressions. :rimshot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiberian Posted March 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 yea it does sound like the equinox. fat bass, very nice vocal (great body and presence), not the most technically accomplished cable i have but very fun nonetheless.

tiberian Posted March 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 seems like the bottleneck of the GE cable is the stock sennheiser plugs. the background is not as clean and as focused as it should. the equniox and headphile also had the same problem when i tried them. the zu, cardas and silver dragon had no stock wire in the signal path so they didn't have the same problem.

tiberian Posted March 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 wouldn't the bottleneck on all of them be the wire running from the jack to the driver? the wire running from the jack to the driver is like a 40 awg copper magnet wire. impossible to replace without screwing up the driver.

tkam Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Thats not true a few people are sucessfully running their 580/600/650 with their favorite replacement cable hard wired to the driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiberian Posted March 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Thats not true a few people are sucessfully running their 580/600/650 with their favorite replacement cable hard wired to the driver. but how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 i imagine it goes something like this: desolder existing wire. solder on new wire. reassemble. listen. No, it's a little more complicated than that. Something like this: - disassemble outer casing; - notice how tiny the wire is; - sweat; - go to head-fi and post to shed some nervous energy; - change mind, reassemble; - change mind again, disassemble outer casing; - clip alligator clips to drain heat; - sweat; - go to head-fi; - pee break; - drink; - pee break; - warm up soldering iron; - wipe hands; - do it; - reassemble; - let cool; - listen; - breath sigh of relief; - go post on head-fi; - drink heavily.

devwild Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 You forgot about screwing it up once or twice, screaming, and posting to head-fi. Also, I personally have found I solder a bit better if I have a drink first (calm the shaky hands ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Enigma Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 actually the cable is soldered directly to the pins so there is no stock wire in the signal path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CD44hi Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Great! Thanks for sending it my way. I'll let you know once I get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Enigma Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Great! Thanks for sending it my way. I'll let you know once I get it. Good to hear. Thanks Tiberian. Yes, please let me know once it shows up Juan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CD44hi Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Sure thing, although the Singlepower balanced amplifier that was supposed to show up from repairs today, did not. So at of this moment I do not have a balanced headphone amplifier at hand. If the headphone amp does not shows up soon, I will update (it has been a long wait for the repairs) and most likely it will be better to send to the next person that wants to audition the cable. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it is really unfortunate and completely out of my hands, long wait... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayt999 Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 and I was thinking of sending you a few cables to compare too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CD44hi Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Actually, go ahead and send them. This will be exciting! I will be very surprised if the amp does not get here very soon. *cross my fingers* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CD44hi Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 GE balanced cable arrived. I hope the singlepower amp shows up soon. I do have an XLR-->RCA adapter, so I can listen to the cable. But it will great to use it as it is designed to. I should be able to listen along with other cables soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkam Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 I should send you GE's new silver alloy balanced senn cable, but I think I'm probably going to end up buying this demo one so too bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
