yesterday I used an OCC 7n cable which is excellent for the mg, it makes it cleaner and less noisy, I liked the silver cable less because it was less fun.
Thx dude, pads just arrive and they're sounding great, it's not exactly the same to the original radiance pads, but they're good enough that I decided to keep them on the HP and preserve the original pads until and IF focal decides to sell original replacement pads, this pads are like 90%-95% there of the originals sound wise.Yeah, that one. They have that inner fabric rings which are very important for maintaining the original sound signature as much as possible. The perforated version might be your liking too but it might not be 100% match for you Radiant sound wise (perforated vs non-perforated).
Have also had very good success with OCC wire and the Clear OG: hybrid cable--4 cores 28AWG solid UPOCC silver + 4 cores 24AWG solid UPOCC copper--seems to work best [with the OG].yesterday I used an OCC 7n cable which is excellent for the mg, it makes it cleaner and less noisy, I liked the silver cable less because it was less fun.
One that I have never tried.@Shane D, this one's for you: [Schiit Vali 3 !! ...... ]
Can I ask at what volume you listen to? High gain?I received my balanced Audiophile Ninja cable for the OGs a week ago but was out of town until last night. I've been listening all day with the SA1 and I like it. I have Dekoni velour and fenestrated sheepskin pads sitting on my desk. I didn't like either of them as much as stock with the SE cable. Going to try them again with the balanced after I listen stock for a while.
I had the neoprene headband cover since I got the headphones but I decided to swap out for the 'ugly' headband cover because I find it more comfortable. It also matches the cardigan I wear a lot when sitting at my desk. Is headband cover-rolling a thing?
I don't consider myself a loud listener. 10-11 o'clock on low gain is about as loud as I go with the Clears without EQ. With Oratory1990 EQ settings, I'll go up to maybe 12 but I mostly listen without EQ. I only really turn it on to play with SoundSource but the 'magic' is gone when EQ is running.Can I ask at what volume you listen to? High gain?
And would you call yourself a loud or quiet listener?
Thanks
I am a quiet listener with some very efficient headphones and am curious about the SA-1. I normally never have much room at all to play with the volume knob.I don't consider myself a loud listener. 10-11 o'clock on low gain is about as loud as I go with the Clears without EQ.

I'd say there is plenty of room to play there, at least with my setup.I am a quiet listener with some very efficient headphones and am curious about the SA-1. I normally never have much room at all to play with the volume knob.
.... a happy 'phone ---> a happy home !One that I have never tried.
They do sound great on all my amps though. Just a happy headphone. Happy with any genre or any amp.
It took ten years but now I have a good size collection of happy 'phones..... a happy 'phone ---> a happy home !
