I've been hearing a lot about Moon Audio, Cardas, and other such companies' recabling options for headphones, and I'm curious, how much of a difference does recabling make? Is it a huge improvement, or is it just to get that last few percent out of your headphones?
I mean obviously if you're using something like D5000s with a SkullCandy cable (just an example), you're going to see massive improvement with a recable, but if you're using a stock D5000 cable, how much of an improvement will you see recabling with let's say the Moon Audio Silver Dragon cable? I've heard D5000 stock cable is quite good, so would it just be a couple percent improvement?
Same thing with headphones like HD650, DT880, and K701/2 (just stating 3 of the most popular headphones as examples), would their stock cables see a huge improvement with a recable, or are they pretty good as is?
I guess I just somewhat answered my question in suggesting that the quality of stock cable obviously determines the difference, but I'm assuming the 4 mentioned headphones already have pretty decent stock cables that are somewhat on par with each other, so would they see a big difference, or just a small percentage gain?
