Serious Mid-Fi

After getting myself a pair of Jecklin Floats Model I needed to restore these:

Before and after:

Since I put another cable on them as well (Mogami 2893), I wanted to do a quick and easy test.

I pulled the DIY Charlize out of the rack, added the PS1 as the player and hooked the Float up to the speaker out.

While I have to say that there was some ground noise, this whole combo really rocks!

David Bowie "The Man Who Sold The World" has been described as "Hard-Rock" but I never heard it this hard rocking!

Before the Float was all Highs, Bass was there but not really coming to the fore.

With the proper pads and the new cable the Float I is one of my favorite headphones.

And if you add the other "cheap" components to this setup I have to say serious Mid-Fi has never been easier to achieve.
