Question for those who know more than me out there ...and that most lol....I was using the Yiggy/Rago combo with my LCD-4 and with them i was using the included XLR cable to connect the 2 and never thought about it much....i replaced my Rag with the moon 430 and simply used the same XLR cable and again didnt think much of it.....a couple of days ago I decided to replace the XLR cable with Bettercables XLR cable and when I connected everything up and gave it a listen i was actually shocked....the volume on the exact same settings is dramatically higher...in other words listening at 48 on the Moon 430 with the new cables is literally like listening at 55 with the old cables....i have never experienced such a dramatic difference in any sense with changes in cables and am wondering why this would be the case....Any thoughts would be appreciated...as i said i was and am shocked
I personally had many experiences on headphone cables. Every time I swap the cable i would able to notice a change of volume. But these changes can be very small, or can be huge (mostly not so huge to my ear.). Depends on the cable resistance and design I think.
