I waited, waited, and waited. Finally it came. The Red Clou cable for my HD 600s. Gotta cool T-shirt that dosen't fit, so I think I'll give it away.
First, I would like to thank the guys at Headroom for bringing such a wonderful speciality product from Sweden here to the U.S.A.
Equipment that I used was the Denon DCD-1650AR CD player, Wheatfield HA2, and Audioquest Viper interconnects.
So, what do I think of it? I love it! This thing looks like a garden hose compared to the stock cable. The only thing I wish was that it came in 2 different lengths. 3.0 meters is just a little short for me. A 5.0 meter option would be nice.
So anyway. How does it sound?
Wonderful! This cable actually showed me what was missing in my system. I don't know if this is because the Red Clou is so good, or the stock cable so bad, but I'm impressed!
The first thing that I noticed was the extention in the treble, and the bass. To my ears, this was not slight. It was almost like the headphones were getting more power to them. Almost like a power amp upgrade.
The detail this cable provides is incredible! Cymbals sound more lifelike, and the bass now has more punch, and control.
This may surprise many, but I feel the transparency, pace, and rythum of the Etymotic Research canalphones are now equaled.
The bottom line is that everything just sounds clearer, more dynamic, and realistic.
This is the best $120.00 purchase of cable I have ever made.
