Balanced XLR to mini TRS cable for the PONO player
Here is the next in our series of pono cables. This one is a fully balanced cable with separate shields for – and +. Inside each core you have 84 strands of litz copper which is wrapped in silk to give a bit of an air dielectric then an oversized PVC former seperating that from the copper shield then that is covered in paracord in a choice of colours. This cable took most of the day to make so if we start selling them with this spec they would be quite expensive but it is nice to go for it and make an awesome cable now and again. We will be doing some tests on it over the weekend so we can give some accurate figures for capacitance and inductance but they should be pretty low even with the shielding.
This fully shielded balanced cable for pono trs to XLR is top of the line
Entry level balanced cable for the Pono Player and HD600 / HD580 / HD650
We have been working on a few new cables for the upcoming pono player to give a balanced connection to the headphones. This is our new entry level cable ideal for those who want to take advantage of the balanced output on the pono without breaking the bank. We take a stock OFC HD650 cable and the re-terminate it with twin 3.5mm TRS plugs this gives a seperate connection for the left and right channels this gives better stereo imaging and also as it utilizes both amps in the pono it can drive higher impedance headphones like the HD650 more easily.
Obviously if you have deep pockets and want the bast I would go for our braided litz copper one as it has quite a few advantages over this one but this will give a nice step up from using the stock cable with the pono.

Headphones and cables for the Balanced output on the PONO Player
We had seen the PONO Player on kickstarter and it had been in the tech and audio press quite a bit in 2013 but now there are finally units being shipped and it looks to be one of the most exciting DAPs to come out in a long time. One thing that made it look particularly interesting to me was the balanced output mode on it giving not only the option of a connecting it via XLRs to a balanced amp but also balanced connection to headphones. As standard on headphones the left and right channels share a common ground connection which holds them back a bit and can cause crosstalk between the two channels. With a balanced connection both left and right are kept seperate with their own + and – wires.
We now have a cable for the HD650, HD600, HD580 and HD25sp which is designed to be used with the balanced output on the pono and we are working on a couple of custom pairs of headphones designed to work with it as well. We will be selling a balanced version of the DT770 and the HD25 under our Uber range of modified headphones
You can buy it from our online store here
We are also able to re-wire most headphones to take a balanced input so if you are looking to get the most out of your PONO player just pop us an email and we can work with you to tweak and modify your headphnes

Beyerdynamic detachable cable mod by custom cans
The beyerdynamic DT770 have always been a very popular headphone for studio use and because of their great sound quality they are being adopted by the audiophile on a budget community. One thing a lot of people complain about is long fixed cable. There have been quite a few DIY forum threads on the subject but I thought I would do I quick video to show how it is done.
This is of course a service we can offer along with making custom cables for them but if you fancy giving it a go hopefully this should help

Here are some custom made Pioneer HDJ-2000 with LEDs all round the outside. They take a verry long time to make but look amaizeballs on stage
These next ones are a batch we made for soundworks studios – having them custom designed stops them from being mixed up with other peoples ones and helps stop them from being stolen. They asked to have a random series with classic synths and audio equipment on them and it was great fun. We have done batches of lots of the same for people and lots of one off individual designs but I think this is the first “collection” on a theme we have knocked out
Custom Modified Fostex T50RP
The T50RP are well know for having massive potential for improvement so we thought we would give it a quick go.
These had mass loaded drivers,modified baffle, upgraded damping and they were recabled with silver cable

Here are some momentums we made for a google sponsored gaming team – Funny story… They were in a real hurry for these so we agreed to drive them to Googles offices in London the same day they were finished – unfortunately the water pump on Joe’s car died on the way back and the car died on the way home. I should have charged more for delivery 😉

How we customise headphones
Here is a quick video showing how we customise headphones. These were quite a simple design but it gives you an idea of how much work goes into each pair we do and why it takes so long to finish them
