I'm using old AKG K 240 DF, yes, they aren't as good as modern headphones (regarding to the sound quality), but they don't get broken when they fall aground, so OTOH they are better than modern headphones. Since I'm 16 years old I had several headphones, today I'm 44 years old, the only headphone that didn't break from the age of 16 until now, is the AKG 240 DF, I just had to change the cables and connector several times and one time I needed to change the thingies that touch the ears, but the 'speakers never get broken', even children were not able to kill those headphones. 3. Regarding to your 'request'. You need to semi-connect bad connectors ;). Btw. it's very unusual that Neutrik fails. I'm with you, since at home I know this issue too. Ugly :(. 6.3 jacks are a PITA. I very often had to play guitar in a position, that makes me look like Quasimodo, to keep the connection :D. I'm not a fan of Neutrik, the reason to start this thread, but at least Neutrik were the best connectors I ever used until today. I suspect 6.3 jacks being bad in general. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
