Just how good is it with the AKGs? A couple of us have been wondering if the impedance is too low on those. How about bass?

Roger,
How did you implement the Neutrik locking jack with the 2.49k resistors? I have a couple of those jacks and they don't apppear to have any switched terminals.
Thanks,
Jim

Overall they're quite good. Bass doesn't measure up to what the higher impedance Senns provides but the soundstage and imaging are on a par. Bear in mind I don't have a lot of hours on the Crack and am still in the process of trying different phones--still need to plug in some Grados--expect some different impressions over time. However, I suspect that the Senns won't give up their lead.

Ran them from tip and ring to sleeve. It's not pretty, the holes are too small for wire+resistors. I ended up soldering the wires in place, placing the resistors on top and soldering them in place. It works but I'll likely re-doing it for a cleaner and more mechanically sound installation.
Near as I can tell the switch function of the stock jack isn't being used.

Roger,
Ok, I'll ring out the jack today as I thought those resistors were switched in when the headphone plug was removed, and for what I guessed to bleed down the coupling caps, but I guess they'd do the same thing and prevent power-up transient suppression if just soldered directly as you did.
