Recently got a Sennheiser HD580 headphone and am planning to make myself a DIY cable for it. Needing about 12 - 15 ft.
I do have some Canare L-4E6S I could use, but in my experience Canare has full bass and mids, but slightly recessed highs. So I am looking for a cable that has good(smooth) high end extension.
Cardas connectors are over $ 20 and very heat sensitive, so I can not experiment with different wires.
Therefore I need to get it right the first time around. Besides, I live in the UK and shipping for some cable is almost the price of the wire itself.
Been thinking of using some Mogami 2534 or 2893. Silver cable would be nice but need to keep the cost somewhat down and in perspective to the price of the HD580.
But before I order some wire, I would like to listen to your suggestions.
