Low end. Cheap. Generic. Otherwise bang for buck cable thread!
My Denon AHD5000 cable keeps fraying, any suggestions on a cable around $50-70? I presume I would have to convert it to MCX or something? I also need to read up on balanced cables and what they are. Thanks- dubleon

DIY Cable Questions and Comments Thread
Any suggestions for cheap(ish) durable braided cable for Denon D5000s? My stock cable keeps fraying and getting into crazy knots. I'd want something as good as the stock cable. Thanks- dubleon

Setup advice please
thanks so much for your help, I think part of the problem was clipping for sure and you have made a big difference. The Grace m903 looks fantastic but I really cant justify the price tag ( around 2k gbp here!). I am thinking of moving over to cheap non portable amp and DAC solution as I think it...- dubleon

How I simplified my life with the MarkL Modded D5000
Very nice! Could I ask about the large purple cables,are they some kind of mega interconnects? Did the Pico act as a pre-amp or was it running the dac only?- dubleon

ES7 ears hurt after a while- D5000 similar problem or not?
Hi, Anyone know if the D5000 will cause the same problem? It doesnt feel like a earcup fit issue, more inside my ear (pressure?). The ES7s have the headband mod. Thanks, Leon- dubleon

Icon Mobile vs Pico power?
Hi all, I am thinking of upgrading my icon mobile usb dac/amp to the Pico dac/amp as I feel my hd650s are pretty underpowered with it. I know the Pico may not be as good as a desktop amp but I would like to confirm whether the Pico will do a better job of driving these cans. Leon- dubleon
