One of my headphone sides is quieter and has less bass than the other after doing a detachable cable mod, how do I fix the imbalance?
Of the three pads, that you have soldered the wires to, the centre one is common / ground.
You need to interchange the two wires.

One of my headphone sides is quieter and has less bass than the other after doing a detachable cable mod, how do I fix the imbalance?
You have connected one speaker between left and right output. There you hear only the difference between left and right. Since bass signals are typically common to both sides, they have no difference ...

Why aren't stranded wires used more widely if conductivity is improved and price is reduced?
multi-stranded wires are better conductors because they don't heat up
due to a higher surface area, have no skin effect, and have overall
lower resistance.
This is not correct for house wiring. At ...

Is there a way to connect JST RCY female end to JST PH male end?
RCY and PH have different pin spacing, PH is 2.0mm and RCY is 2.5mm so they won't connect for that reason (and probably other reasons)
The easiest way to connect these would be with an adapter cable,...

Wiring a 240 V single phase cable to two 110 V outlets (120 deg apart)
Do not do this.
In theory, yes, it is the same as plugging in to a real 208/240V receptacle. But practically, there are several differences that make it unsafe. Other answers have mentioned some of ...

Wiring a 240 V single phase cable to two 110 V outlets (120 deg apart)
The best way to accomplish this would be to install an actual 208V three phase outlet, and then you could make a proper power cord that plugs into it and brings out two hot phases for 208V and one ...

Wiring a 240 V single phase cable to two 110 V outlets (120 deg apart)
You have an incoming three-phase 208 V utility supply, distributed as single-phase 120 V (utilizing all three phases).
You need a 208 V single-phase outlet.
The standard safe method would be to have ...

Wiring a 240 V single phase cable to two 110 V outlets (120 deg apart)
Do not do this. Full stop. It's not safe, and it shouldn't be necessary. You can always use a step-up transformer, if the load is 2kVA or less. Otherwise, pull a 208V circuit from the panel. Since ...
