There's currently another debate raging in the Cables, Power, Tweaks, etc. forum on whether or not cables make a difference. When this topic usually comes up, it is usually regulated only to the discussion of interconnects, power cables, and extension cables. While there is a big demand for after-market headphone cables, there is rarely any discussion on whether or not headphone cables make a difference. We usually hear from the people that do change their headphone cables claiming an improvement, but little is said claiming that headphone cables don't make a difference.
For example, Senns (580, 600, and 650 in particular) are popular as far as replacing the headphone cable for something more expensive and of a higher quality. However, I don't think I've ever heard anyone say you could build a replacement headphone cable out of paperclips and it would sound just as good.
Is there any reason why there seems to be less of a debate as to whether or not headphone cables make a difference as compared to cables such as interconnects? Is the value of a good headphone cable less debated or is it just my imagination?
