Ahhh that was my thinking at best Graham. But I'm not gonna admit that until now. I do have an upgrade cable on the phones which may indeed be the source of the issue. The great thing is it works beautifully with my Solo ULDE yaaay!!

Sounds like a partial version of the out of phase (left minus right) effect you can get by pulling the stereo jack out slightly so the left and right transducers are in series and share the right channel. Not what the manufacturer intended!

Yes i thought that too Jon. And that is easily demonstrated. But in this case, the actual presentation is spot on sonically and far superior to the in your head presentation coming from the other "normal" connectors. No signal loss at all. Strange but true! I'm going with Graham's view as I don't have another explanation. And going to listen some more to my front of noggin headstage!

The K1000 with "wings" fully out gives a very spatial image that typically wraps all around the wearer's head, sometimes around the back. I have not experienced that presentation with anything else. Along with its excellent bass weight and foot-tapping pace, it's very impressive. I will have to try them both with binaural recordings again before I get them sold.

I also think Graham is right. You were hearing a combination of normal headphone sound and the out of phase sound.

The circuit Graham described could be built with a variable resistor (potentiometer) for a blending or a fixed resistor switched in series with the common return/ground to go from normal operation through your auditory experience to the full out of phase. I also have a pair of LCD2's and am curious to explore the sound you heard. Do you have you got a multimeter to measure the resistor of the extension you were using?

Busy at work and I couldn't lay my hands on the bits to rig this up so I may pop into Maplin tomorrow and make up an out of head adaptor to try with my LCD2's (and other headphones). If so, do you want to try it Dil and let me know what you think?

Yes definitely Jon! I am not technical enough to understand what is going on so solving this puzzle will be cool. I forget what actual cable it is but do know its very low capacitance.

No soz I don't have a multimeter!
