Indeed it might be for the best. It just never ceases to amaze me every time I discover people who find it that hard to simply engage in open-minded, respectful conversation devoid of condescending, derogatory remarks

Interesting how you generalise everyone who's not aligned with your philosophy as "cable supporters" (what is that, even?) and describe cable names as something "alluring" (aren't they simply a means of identification?) *At least you admit the effects of resistance- said goldenfall cables and...

@PhonoPhi it's all fine at first, until you accuse me of personal attacks (now I'm calling you out for it) and mocking me for my apparent lack of funds and purchase decisions. I may lack funds but have plentiful connections and opportunities. Mbl speaker systems, audeze lcd_4z, stax 009s...

It's not just about measuring the cables themselves- heck, a cable that's not connected to a load acts like an antenna picking up interference that can be measured. If you want to measure something, measure the effects the cables have on different aspects of the resultant sound, that would be...

The open discrimination is quite something though- at least the religions you speak of are recognised, however intangible their effects may be. I'm not saying anyone should be spending kilobucks or that it would be worth it, it's about presenting evidence but even after having done so they...

Yeah, dominant notions, running scripts, power struggles and the voice of the majority. The minority will be at a disadvantage and the terms be set against their favour

Why should I? Is shifting your obstinate opinion worth the effort? I don't remember owing you anything. LOL! If you desire knowledge, pursue it yourself- I think you're old enough to do at least that instead of waiting to be spoon-fed

Sounds like it could be subjectively better than the FD3 based on personal tuning preference! Wonder how it will fair against the Aria, Yuan Li, IT01X and Hana 2021

If it still doesn't work I'll get my ex superiors to tie it to their trainees' hand grenades :joy:

You'll probably have to break apart every one of the multiple drivers present within the units :stuck_out_tongue:

Ohh yeah I was asking abt this store a short while ago and Rikudou confirmed that it is related to Cema. Some of their cables do look really nice! On another note, I used to work part-time at a headphone store before and learnt from my regular seniors that connectors sometimes have a thin layer...

How does it compare with the Oxygen, DD vs BA timbre aside?

Plus, it's not just any manufacturer. Mogami is known to have some of the most detailed scientifically backed measurements and rigorous testing in the pro cable industry

They were talking about cables in general though. Including hundreds of thousands of their competitor's cheaper cables, if you view it in perspective :thumbsup: Also, I don't remember any of their cables being silver-plated, which would give them a reason to really emphasise the real influence...

An open mind presents infinite opportunities and possibilities :slight_smile: Let's hope enough science-based people do not diss cables that quickly and come up with a definite answer within our lifetime (they are key to the mystery after all)

I'm a measurements person, and I make sure to be well-read enough to not make uneducated/uninformed assumptions set in stone. However, when my ears detect similar differences over and over again, I have to be honest to myself, even if all the current measurements are unable to prove it. Science...

"I started engineering calculation and experimentation, assuming at the beginning I could easily prove that skin effect could never affect sound quality. However, before long I was forced to realize that it was not so easy. In fact, I had to recognize the fact that sound is changed by cable, as...

Reading this right after ordering Goldenfall and C4-2 cables to try on my Aria :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Anyone knows how this compares to the 1More 1M301/Voice of China and the new Piston Basic? I used to have both the VOC and 1M301 and have heard the Piston Basic on demo

Anybody knows the rationale of bundling 2 pairs of tips with different diameters together for the Tanchjim T-APB? I was about to buy it despite the high cost, until I realised that to get both the bass and treble models for my ear size I would be forced to purchase 4 pairs of tips with 2 of them...

Sounds like what I encountered in the process of dismantling my Tanchjim Cora- in the end I had to use a small knife to cut the driver free (kinda dangerous ngl)

Oh you misunderstand me haha! The tuning appears to fit my preferences too, my comment was an attempt to potentially explain why people perceive other TOTL headphones to be more detailed despite this headphone's flawless performance as far as measurements are concerned. Apart from increased...

On the note of detail/resolve and such, they can be perceived as being less potent due to the bass boost, even with all other factors identical
