Cypher Labs Algorhythm Solo: A Game Changer - Head-Fi TV, Episode 003 - Page 5

This episode was the best. Sound was good quality was good and your review was good. The only thing is that you seem to only be reviewing is high cost items Jude. Maybe next video something entrance level like some 840s or TMA-1s?

I really love these kinds of videos and this episode was break through with some very interesting technology and an eye opener, in addition, it was very well presented.

Slightly off topic, what wrist watch is Jude wearing?

HD 25-1 is an excellent headphone. Whether it deserves that kind of amping, I can't say, but they do sound different out of a PA2V2 (warmer) than straight out of an iPod/laptop. 

The HD25-1 ii deserved to be customed.

Okay, I'm kidding.  This no-talent prima donna will be uploading another episode in two or three days--replete with a certified quarter-ounce of charisma.

 

 

 

Can't wait! And make a pound of charisma instead.

Alright, so I got the Solo + Mk2 + JH16's, plus ALO's deluxe connector cables. LOVING the sound coming out of this thing and will post more detailed impressions soon. 

One thing I didn't get was an upgraded cable for the 16's ... which everyone seems to recommend. I was kinda waiting for the Eclipse from Craig, but that could be 3-4 weeks away and not sure I want to wait that long.

My question is -- how much of a difference will the new cable make? What kind of difference in the context of this setup? 

Thanks!

There really is no consensus on this question, and it seems like just speaking about cable improvements is a punishable offense sometimes.  I have various aftermarket cables, and I love the look, durability, and sound of them, but many others (often people who have never owned an aftermarket cable) dismiss the possibility that they can improve sound, or claim that the value of any improvement is insignificant compared to the price.

My advice: If you like the sound you're getting with the stock cable, stick with it for a while.  If you can afford an aftermarket cable, try a reasonably-priced one from Whiplash, ALO or Moon Audio and see if you notice any differences.  If you don't feel that any improvements were worth the money, then you can usually sell the cable on the For Sale forum without losing too much.  At the very least, the cost should be worth it just to see for yourself what different cables can and can't do.

It looks like a uboat.
