Equinox for HD-590

[Pace]

Damn this forum!

It has been only 12 hours since I received my first headphone amp, and I'm already thinking of new ways to improve the sound of my Sennheiser HD-590s.

From what I've read, the next wise move would be to invest into Equinox cable for the 'phones, but I'm still hesitating...

What do you think, will I even notice the difference using the Creek OBH-11 amp with my HD-590s?

I have time to consider... my wallet will need atleast couple of weeks to recover.

You could try building a cable yourself... A number of people have tried with success.. And it's relatively cheap as well.. Easily under US$15 with nice parts like Neutrik/Switchcraft ¼" plugs.

Care to elaborate? Which site sells the parts and the knowledge to do it?

I'd really consider building one yourself first. It's cheaper and brings good results, or at least mine does anyway, that may be completely better than the Equinox or better for the money.

That's what I've been thinking about too. I've actually asked couple of local stores already if they'd have the parts I need for the cable. Unfortunately it is quite difficult to find a 2,5mm plug...

Other parts should be easier to find.
