drp Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Have any of you that have the IM716, or took advantage of the Buy dot com deal, removed the volume pod and added resistors? The other site has a thread on this but thought I check here as well. I just got in a pair and also have a few resistors hanging around; although, all I have are 75 ohm jobbies from KSC-35 mod craziness. Other than getting rid of the somewhat sizeable pod holding the switch and volume pot, anyone find it worth the effort? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I bought a pair, probably won't do anything to them though. They've officially been dubbed my snow blowing headphones so no sense modding them much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 you wear them when you do coke, nate? Yes, I like the effect of the isolation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 good synergy? We'll find out tomorrow morning at 6am when I get to deal with the 12" of bullshit covering my driveway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drp Posted December 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 I bought a pair, probably won't do anything to them though. They've officially been dubbed my snow blowing headphones so no sense modding them much. And how it that un-modded snow blowing rig treating you, Nate? It would seem that your post was the equivalent of a snow dance, because I just moved a ton of wet heavy stuff. Got it moved before the rain got a chance to make it even heavier. On the mod, I think I'm going to terminate just south of the driver leads (lower value resistors maybe), similar to how the E500 is constructed, and use a 1st Gen Shuffle with a shirt clip. This will make for a minimum wire length player for the gym (or snow shoveling.... grrrr). Then maybe an extension with other resistors to go to an amp'd player.
