The Philips HP895's are on their way and I am already thinking of upgrading the stock cable. My presumption is that replacing the cord with something better can improve the sound quality of these budget cans. Replacing the cord on the 895's are a snap as it has (ala Senn) a detachable cord terminated with a 3.5mm plug. Now down to replacement cord choices...
Has anyone ever compared the Cardas starquad (used on many a Senn and highly regarded) with a comparable starquad from Canare and Mogami? I for one hear a difference in Canare and Mogami quad. Used as interconnects, the Mogami is more revealing to my ears while the Canare is warmer maybe even "neutral." Of course it comes down to price! The Cardas is $7.25/ft. at DIYCable.com! At Redco.com, the Canare is $.39/ft. and the Mogami is $.59/ft. On a budget, the Canare and Mogami is a no brainer. Any further reflections?
