Hi folks,
Trying to pin down my next audio
audnirvana, i started to investigate the balanced headphone definitions, and ways to realize that. Source Balanced out/BHA1/Balanced headphone . The last stage seems to confuse me, under the impression to have read that some Headphones have to be recabled to be able to use them balanced mode. Talking about the Sennheiser 800, Audeze 2 or Beyer T1, Hifiman seems a bit difficult to get overhere.
But then I read that the Headphones with detachable cables like the Sennheiser I would just have to change the external cable and be set? Is it really just that easy? Would be wonderful of course . really no internal wiring changes necessary?
Second question coming out of that is what cable to uses then. I love a good cable,

http://www.headphone.com/accessories/cardas-balanced-cable-for-hd800-10ft-neutrik.php, but it looks a bit 'handmade' to be honest. What to buy? Does Bryston make some?
"The (stock HD800) cable is balanced as standard, so all you have to do is to cut off the jack plug and replace it with the balanced connector(s) of your choice." is it that simple?
As not all my sources are balanced (Phone and Tuner as most relevant) I do want to connect the RCA outs of my BP26 tape to the RCA ins on the BHA1. James confirmed this is possible simultaneously. I need some feedback please about playing these analog sources through a balanced connected headphone. There would be no noise/humm or other issues?
Thanks!
Marius
