So I was doing a little work on my HD565 last night and had them all disassembled. I was looking at the bare driver and noticed it was fed by the tiniest wires I have ever seen, not much thicker than a human hair.
I'm sure there's a reasonable answer for this, but it just seems strange to me that people get these finger thick 2" interconnect cables costing $50 or more, spend hundreds on the headphone cable itself, and it all terminates at the business end with microscopic cables.
I understand that with more power comes better volume and dynamics, and that with more and higher quality wire comes more power. I also understand that your audio setup is only as good as your weakest link. Wouldn't the weak link (if there was one) then be the cables going into the driver, designed by Sennheiser themselves? And wouldn't that mean that all the other uprgraded wires don't matter?
Please note that I have little experience in recabling, am not an audiophile, and I'm just wondering out of curiosity.
Thanks in advance for clearing this up for me.
