June 4, 200917 yr What are you worried about? I don't know if the Pimeta will cut it until the eagle lands...
June 4, 200917 yr I don't know if the Pimeta will cut it until the eagle lands... I have another option for you should you find the Pimeta inadequate. Of course this raises the question as to where the balanced mini3 went to? I can't keep track of you lawyers and your gear whoring ways.
June 4, 200917 yr Good point re the Mini, which is still perched next to me, but I don't think I want to balance the cable then use an adapter when I go back to single ended. Though I suppose it would be nice to have the option...
June 4, 200917 yr That doesn't sound right at all. Send them back. kelvinz, mine do not creak like that. :palm::palm::palm: Great sending a email out to Headroom now hopefully this is painless

Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio - View Single Post - APureSound: The Ultimate Cable Manufacturer Introduces The V3 Headphone Cable Anyone gonna bite? Is the stock cable really as inferior he claims? Not that I don't trust him, I'm just curious about others' opinions.
June 4, 200917 yr I don't know if the Pimeta will cut it until the eagle lands... One of my biggest surprises at CanJam was how good the HD800s sounded with and ipod and the new millet portable, since you know how prejudiced I am against portables, amps and sources, with the other flagship Senns. Maybe the pimeta will be fine. I know I'll be plugging mine into the pico tomorrow.

June 4, 200917 yr I had a 4pin put on my hf2 at canjam (thanks nate and thrice) even tho I no longer own a balanced amp. More flexible
June 4, 200917 yr I had a 4pin put on my hf2 at canjam (thanks nate and thrice) even tho I no longer own a balanced amp. More flexible Ok, so based on grawk's post, here's my dumb question for the night: If I reterminate the HD800 and/or the HF-2 to a 4-pin XLR, then I just need to get a 4pin-->1/4" TRS adapter for single-ended use, correct?
June 4, 200917 yr Yup. I ahve a 4pin extension cable, a 4pin to mini and a 4pin to 1/4". I used to have a 4pin to dual xlr, but a lawyer in cali stole it.
June 4, 200917 yr This is really dumb and I'm not sure if it matters or not but here goes: When I registered my headphones on the Sennheiser site, it made very clear that it wanted a 6 digit serial number. The serial number on my headphones is 5 digits. There was a 6 digit serial number on the box and that's the one I used despite that number being different from the number on the headphones. Any big deal? Incidentally, I haven't seen a peep yet from Sennheiser confirming that registration. I registered mid day last Friday.

I just added a extra leading zero to my S/N to make it six digits.
June 4, 200917 yr Mine just arrived and are on my head now. Tested for creaking and other unhappy noises. Fortunately none, but damn they smell....er....not great, but then I hate new car smell also.
June 4, 200917 yr I just added a extra leading zero to my S/N to make it six digits. Which is probably what I should have done. Oh well...

Is the stock cable really as inferior he claims? Not that I don't trust him, I'm just curious about others' opinions. Depends what you think about Senn's decision to use silver plated copper cabling. It initially suggested to me that they had put some thought in to the 'sound' of their cabling, but then again it might have been marketing junk. I can't really believe that with all the other work they put into these things, they didn't bother to use an appropriate cable...
June 4, 200917 yr What is inappropriate about the cable? That's what I was asking in a rather round about way...
June 4, 200917 yr I seem to recall Nate saying, after reterminating several of them at CanJam, that it appeared to be entirely adequate in both materials and construction and that he would not personally bother to change it out.
