Wait..can you clear this up for me..they use a Canare cable and the only thing that's wrong with it is that it's too stiff? Canare is considerd a very high quality wire and just as good as this fancy pants $10/foot wire. Now, I'm not a fan of Canare for most headphones, but it's still good. I like canare for the brighter headphones and hate it with the HD-600/650.
If any company used Canare or Mogami on a headphone, I'd be happy. Give me that over generic stock wire anyday.
What brand of wire does Hifiman use now? I know it was Canare in the past or do they still use it?
IMO everyone should use Mogami
4. The stock cable is the same cable you can buy for about $15 on ebay and is stiff, its not the wisest choice for a cable styling that will be plugged into an amplifier some distance away. Open the stock cable up and tell me I'm wrong. It was a poor cable all around, at least Hifiman realized and cared enough to almost IMMEDIATELY change it out for a really great cable. As we all know , we want to pay $500-900 for a headphone that comes with a garden hose for a cable, right? lol
