Ok I'm an IEM guy and don't really enjoy wearing HP's for any length of time so stick mostly to IEM's but
I'm guess IEM's and HP's follow the some sort of tuning/tweaking paths..1 source (Dac,Amp) 2 tips or pads and 3 cables..well
that's how I see it with IEM's anyhow...that being said I can appreciate and believe cables especially for low impedance IEM's
can and do make a difference to the overall sound. Plus I'm all about music much less about the tech lol.
I original bought the Forza Hybrid cable as I said for my OG Andro's thinking the silver would maybe enhance
the already ethereal mids and treble which I love, also the copper might extend the bass response a tad?.
What I found was that the cable gave everything a slight "tube" effect, warmer if you like, soundstage, imagining were all
on point, bass slightly deeper? but more organic especially for a BA, mid's smoothed off a tad without loss of detail and the treble
slightly less shimmery...Nothing wrong with any of that but it wasn't what I was looking for lol.
After a lot of listening I tried it on the Vega's and on that set the cable jelled, it somehow managing to widened the soundstage while maintaining the imaging :- 2 Pac's Ambitionz Az A Ridah sounds wider, more controlled and complete..nothing stands out as being lacking
or sonically out of place where as the original cable sounded slightly disjointed in it presentation in comparison.
Kate Bush's Sensual World track again show's control and balance that the CF og cable didn't...The Church bells at the start sound more
life like and the uillean pipes half way through have a wonderful timbre to them that the og cable didn't.
So for me it seems to suit a DD more than a BA set
...not tried on my Z1R's though maybe I should lol.
(Didn't want to do too many A/B swops when it comes to MMCX's)
So yeah well happy with my Forza...Cable 5* for build and sound
