Trying my stock power cable to my super expensive Iego L80229 now. I have some hundred hours on the Iego with at least some 60 on my computer (which requires an 850W PSU)...
I don´t know how you can possible say for sure there is a difference. I will have to try the AKG 701 tomorrow. If anything I feel it´s slightly less detailed in the low end a bit darker with the Iego copper cables but can just as well be placebo from my expectations really. It does feel like it flows a bit better. I would need two identical DACs at the same stage of burn in and then switch back and forth while listening I suspect to be sure if there is a difference that can´t be discarded as placebo. Maybe doesn´t help that my amp and headphones is a bit on the warm side to begin with though may have better luck with the super bright AKGs
I am still running stock cables on my headphones though I hope to be able to more clearly see the difference when upgrading cables.
