Wat's the plug ? Tis model of plug quite sexpensive rite ?

Yeah.. pretty ex... but also pretty solid... :o


Anyway... after i had completed my Apheared 47 portable project, i have been looking at crossfeed lately...

Came across an excellent article by Jan Meier on how he does it by using three resistors and two capacitors!

Can see that he uses the A47 as the base design coupled with some touch up on his own..

Been hearing a lot on how beneficial crossfeed is. Already got all the components... Will try it on a protoboard, and shall see how beneficial it is.. :o

had a "fun" time soldering those plugs?

not too hard for me la... :D
have the right way, its not really hard.
very diff from building wif a Neutrick plugs lo...Neutrics chiu scare the right channel shorted to ground...but this chiu will scare the left shorted wif the right. But if chiu apply the right amount of solder and also cut the insulation at the right place, it will be perfect.

Dun think so ex, depend on if you DIY or not.

What Jacks you given, I suspect Neutrik heads.

Canare cables about $4 per meter depending on which one.

Heads about $5 - $8 depends on brand.
