One thing I noticed today was that the type of wire and brand can change a headphones signature more than I thought. People seem to say otherwise. For example, I use the Canare Starquad and it seemed to add some extra mid-bass and seemed to smooth over the treble of my HD-650. I've heard it will add warmth to a headphone and I think this is true. It also gives me the impression of very slightly more forward mids, but probably not. Do any of you agree with these impressions of the Canare Starquad? Seems like it's rolling off the highs slightly and a little more than the stock cable. The difference here is VERY minor when I listened to them.
I temporarily switched to my stock HD-650 cable and it has much more treble and specific songs aren't as smooth sounding. I prefer the Canare cable still since it seems to add in some extra detail. I don't think the differences are huge, but a little more than subtle.
Now I'm thinking of trying the Mogami Starquad for my HD-650 and that may be a better match. Anyone have a preference for an HD-650?
Due to what the Canare sounds like for me, I think it will be the PERFECT match for the K702 and I'll know soon. It's treble is a bit bothersome with some music, despite it being the recording sometimes.
Any other good Starquad wire to try? Gotham or maybe Redco TGS? Both are cheap. I want to try Cardas someday, but I haven't found a good US supplier of it in bulk yet. I prefer cheaper cable, but would like to try the more expensive stuff sometime just to hear it with my ears.
