Your brain can make a difference

It sure can, but it's interesting that many folks report alike differences after hearing the same specific product

But maybe let's not go there

Might get you banned here! Audio Science forum is the total opposite. No one there actually listens to music. They just graph headphones! It's middle ground for me. I have noticed minor differences between a copper and silver cable, but could just be that I was looking for it, and heard what I wanted to. In reality, double blind tests are the only way to truly show audible differences, and most folks fail those, even when comparing a high quality mp3 (320 kpbs) to flac. That said, I still buy flac files.

I've been around here for 10+ years, so it's fair to say that I have my ways to not get banned

I hear you and I understand what you mean. Some folks rely on ABX tests and benchmarks to know what's what and others not so much, but there's place for everyone really. It's okay to disagree and we'\re all good as long as we can remain calm and respectful

Totally agree. Expensive cables are not my thing, but if someone else like them, then great.

Look at that, we already have more consensus than congress!

Yup, that's what this is all about! Thanks for being an understanding sport!

Because I am such a good sport, feel free to send my an iFi Pro iCAN Signature that I can review... and keep.

We don't know you that well, sorry

Thanks for a nice convo nonetheless!

Haha. Fair point. Worth a shot.

Sure thing and thanks for your interest. Routinely we organize product tours, so maybe that way you'll get your hands on one of our devices

In the meantime, let's get back to GL2000

 

[1290R]

I still like my GL2000!

I still like my GL2000!

Me Too. Now connected with a beautiful silver cable via XLR. Truely lifted them a level

 

[screwdriver]

in my system i like the stock cable better compared to the moon audio silver dragon and blue dragon . soncoz sgd1dac and topping a30pro amp

 

[Monte Verdi]

Moon Audio Silver Dragon works nicely if adding a bit of EQ, otherwise stock cable is smoother imo and differences are not dramatic. For what it's worth these headphones sound beautiful, ymmv.

 

[Side984]

Can I buy (and where) original earpads for my GL2000?
