One lead is for the polarization voltage, so 3-wire is like 2-wire PIP, and 4-wire is like 3-wire, which can be balanced is generally lower impedance.  So if you're running more than 10 feet of cable, you probably want 4-wire.

Even if you are running less than 10ft of cable, is the sonic quality affected/degraded by running them 3-wire?

Probably not too many people are interested in this, but I took a picture anyway  ;)



The metalwork falls under the "barely functional" category, but it's enough for me to test the circuit.  I will have to cut a new coupling once I acquire an 11/16" twist bit . . . which aren't that easy to find locally, it seems . . . fortunately I am *not* doing the production metalwork!

Nice!  I must say...running the mk4 last week while on ph tour made me reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally want some actives.  I check in on this thread often for progress updates since i'm also a member of team AKG.  Hoping an active system for the 480/ck6x is made available soon.   ;D

We need a head count on who wants a set of Actives...

IIRC the only hold up is machining a housing...All other parts are available?
