will a silver geekria cable help the clear mg in resolution?

I find the resolution very good with the MGs. Don't think a cable is going to improve it, different amp maybe but cable no.

Unfortunately I think MG lacks resolution and refinement.

You're the first I've heard that from

How big is the clipping problem with Focal? I always use EQ with my headphones and I wonder if using a normal base-shelf with these at normal listening volumes will work? that's the only thing stopping me from ordering them at the moment.

Never experienced it with stock tuning (no EQ) and very demanding classical music at unsafe listening volume.

I have no problems with clipping at all. Using the MG with autoeq.

I've not encountered any clipping with the MGs. Very unforgiving with poor sources and will draw your attention to any tracks that have distortion in the recording. Very well balanced headphones.

No clippings for me either (at least not to the point of extremely high volumes).

I received my focal clear mg this morning
Only a hour or 2 listening so still early days
Initial impressions are encouraging
New Order never sounded so alive

 

[cirodts]

bought a pure copper canare cable, the clear has improved exponentially.

I sold my Clear MG, to be honest they was quite letdown for me, on stock pads they sound boring. Now i have Bathys and im happy.

Hi do you find Bathys better sounding than clear Mg?

 

[vonBaron]

I don't think so.

The topic has been covered often on this thread. Clear Mg’s need a decent cable (the stock supplied Focal cable really is trash) and a better set of Pads (Eg. Dekoni) to liberate the incredible sound of these cans. Of course with the Clear you need a decent headphone amp which is already built into Bathys. I have both, and love the sound each delivers but the Clear Mg’s sound is far superior IMO.

True I confirm, I have a new Canare copper cable and the sound of the MG has improved a lot.....and to say that many people believed that there is no difference in sound between one cable and another!!!

I'm afraid I'm one of those. Bought an Oidio Mongrel cable that will cover both the MG and my Denon AH-D9200, no difference at all. Sorry.
