There are a couple very good reasons to change to a better cable. Example : If you have a tube  headphone amp with no global feedback and a some what low dampaning factor a factory cable of maybe 28awg. may sound grainy and not do a very good job controling bass. I like Canare star quad cable...

Small sound stage, Ha Ha ha Ha those Superex1968 ST-PRO B have an huge sound stage unless the foam in the ear cups has rotted away leaving the bowls close to your ears, they are well known for having a very expancive  sound stage.

Dose anyone know what op amps the Little Dot DAC1 uses and how menny? Any suggestions for replacements?

Both the Little Dot DAC1 my personal choice,and the Cambridge Audio DAC majic use that Wolfson chip. You will get more for you money with the LD DAC 1in my opinion.

I seriously think I may have found just the thing for all you Japanees cartoon lovers,there are so menny styles and color combos,and they are easily driven by portable players. They seem to be a serious headphone and not a...

 Sorry, that link was meant for another thread,I would look in the used market for some Senn 590 headphones.

Grado SR80i would be the best bang for your buck.

I'm not sure if I have this right,your asking what kind of headphones to get to listen to cartoons on?     http://www.chipchick.com/2010/04/sanrio-hello-kitty-headphones.html

So wht device is used for mesureing the wave form going through a cable? Or should I say at the other end of a cable.

This may have been posted before, if so sorry for the repeate but it dose make some good points. http://sound.westhost.com/cables-p3.htm#interconnects  

 Both ,I live in a condo each  building has 4 units. Line noise at night NO PROBLEM,line noise during the day in summer with all the fans and A/C units can tax even the best filtered power supplies,not a big deal with solid state but noise made louder through transformer hysteresis Even in my...

I'm still greaveing a loss, but wonder about ferrite used in power cables like PS Audio,do power cables show any differance?

So I have spent a couple of thousend dollers conservitivly over the last 10 years on something that can not be mesured. PLEASE NEVER SAY THIS TO MY WIFE A lesser man migh just step out infront of a speeding bus to end his stupidity,you just made my day!   Good thing I'm well grounded,I'm...

I was commenting on interconnects,but wouldn't dielectric and wire diameter change the sound? For example bass contole,capacitance ect...?

Although I have limited time useing an o scope admittedly,I do know what I have heard. and prehaps everything you can hear can in fact be mesured as you have said. There has never been 2 cables that have ever mesured differently? So a silver in teflon with no sheild will sound like the...

Blind tests are the worst possable way to judge cable differances for the avrage listener. First of all,If you really really want to hear what a cable has to offer the sorce and sorcematerial is key#1. Key #2 a clean power sorce. Key #3 a compleate kit useing only the shortest possable...

Just to be clear I was not bashing Senns, I most likely never heard a pair that really grabbed me or was really involeing and I feel Grado phono cartrages are a better example of the Grado sound than there headphones to by the way.   I liked the SR 80 but couldn't get them to sound stage to...

I have not heard the HD800 or the HD600 my impressions come from the HD590 which I liked but it was a 6th row headphone and the later HD595 which I didn't like because it seemed dark,and the HD650 you mentioned that seemed both dark and distant. To be fair I have heard a good cable will lift...

Haven't Sennhizer always been a veiled 12th row performance? Every pair I have heard lacks fret noise,the slight buzz from reed noise in horns,brushes on a snare drum seem indistinct with Senns.They lack texture. That's why people tolerate Grado's in your face treble. Who measures...
