Copper only headphone cables

[Jozurr]

Simply put, I do not like the sound of silver/gold/hybrid cables. Either they sound metallic/harsh/bright or something's off. This thread is NOT to defend any of those, but to discuss copper cables only.

-What is the best copper cable that you have heard and on what headphone?
-Which cables have you compared and which one did you like the best?

I have heard/compared the norne skoll, norne zoetic, toxic black widow 24, Q cables french silk and YFS superlitz30 cables, and so far I've liked the YFS cable the best, that I use on my HE-6.

All in my subjective opinion:

Take a look at Atlas Cables Zenos, out of all my cables (forza hybrid, Nobunaga SPC, Toxic Cable SPC, Effect copper) it is my favourite, it increased the layering and resolution with my inEarz P350 CIEM's, everything just sounds right and natural.

The Forza Claire HPC is also a lovely copper cable, that adds some warmth to the sound, but also increases the soundstage.

Have never heard of those. Will check them out. Have you compared the Atlas on iems or full sized headphones?

The best copper materials to my ears are UPOCC.

RE: UPOCC

I've been using C3 Audio for years (http://www.c3audio.com/), e.g. (http://www.c3audio.com/store/p11/Sennheiser_HD_800_Headphone_Cable_--_UPOCC.html) their service/ support is second to none.

You can also compare against Moon Audio (https://www.moon-audio.com), e.g. (https://www.moon-audio.com/black-dragon-cable-sennheiser-hd800-headphones.html)

Another recommendation for C3 Audio, here. Chris does fantastic work and his cables sound (or rather don't) as transparent as they come. Tried a few other brands, and his hook-up wire consistently bests the competition.

Use his OCC copper cables on my Sennheiser arsenal, and as RCA interconnects. Particularly significant improvement on the HD800 SDR, more obviously than HD6X0.

i replaced my stock 400i cable with forza audio works copper series cable and i really like it. Even if you dont believe in cable's changing sound, it is so lightweight its just unbelievable, also very high quality, nice to look at.

mine took 1 month to the day to arrive, so its probably a long wait.
