Hi guys, I would just like to ask for any suggestions regarding the best cable to use in connecting the Hugo to the LC?

@Hansotek got an Audioquest Big Sur interconnect to use with his Mojo and it's pretty decent.  I guess it's the cheapest one they make with their top-of-the-line copper.  You can swap between it and a cheap cable and hear the improvement.

Hey Stillhart,
 
What's your opinion on the pairing between the HD700 and the LC?

Yeah, pretty compelling differences when I A/B'ed that cable with the Monoprice. I'd say the Big Sur really changed my whole mindset on cables. In comparison, the generic cable had a bunch of weird little spots where it would be sort of "pinched", harsh, sibilant or poorly separated. The Big Sur felt easy and musical in comparison.

Mind you, these differences are not night and day. They are subtle, but noticeable. And they become more noticeable as you scale up surrounding gear.

If you are looking for something that is solid, but at a lower price point than the Big Sur, I also think the Wireworld Luna is quite good.

How does the LC compare to the iCAN SE pairing with the HD800, using only single ended non-balanced output? Also, how does it compare to the BH Crack w/ speedball using TS5998 and CBS/Hytron 5814A tubes?

Does the Luna come in a 3.5mm to RCA design? I've only seen RCA to RCA.

I've been real happy with these Forza's.  Bought them from a fellow Head-fier, but I do know they are a silver/copper hybrid.

Thank you for the recommendations! :thumbsup_tone2:

Would an rca to rca be better than the rca to 3.5mm?

Presumably. AxelCloris was asking because he and I both have the Mojo, which is 3.5mm only.

 

[AxelCloris]

That's correct. I've been considering upgrading the cable between my Mojo and LC.

 

[Mist3rLao]

Oh, yeah! Better go with the 3.5mm to RCA then for my Mojo as well. Thanks for that!

Hey Stillhart,

I haven't heard the pairing, sorry.  I sold the HD700 well before I got the LC.  However, I suspect it will pair about as well as the HD700 pairs with anything (meaning if you can deal with the treble peak, it'll sound quite good otherwise!).  This guess is based on how well the LC paird with the HD800.

This is the first thing that comes to mind any time someone uses that word like that.

@Stillhart good one! LMAO!!!

I'm not Stillhart, but I do have the HD700 and the LC.
 
In short, it's a pretty good combo. Not the widest soundstage I've heard out of the HD700 (though with this pairing it's still pretty wide) but very deep, and very much allows the HD700 to show off its imaging and layering capabilities. I think the LC does a good job of making the HD700 sound not as fatiguing, but the LC is neutral enough that if you're really sensitive to treble this won't entirely help the headphone.
