Do you happen to have an itemized list of the constituent parts used to make the cable?

In case this question is directed at me: You would have to ask Trevor at Norne Audio (since it would curtail his own business, I doubt that he would be so kind) or take all info you can get from his website.

People....these are soooo good.
Please try this song....Piano is euphoric.

MASTER QUALITY STREAM TOO

That’s what these phones need is the BEST source. and once again to reiterate the Jot Balanced does it pretty awesome a 1:45

Yes. My son made me John Wick out of LEGO

Nice.

I am using an S3 with my HEDDphone, LCD4, and Abyss 1266TC. Sounds great on all of them. And it is a very nice looking cable as well.

teknorob23 1.5 meter cable. 4x Neotech 22 AWG UPOCC solid core copper hook-up wire, REAN headphone connectors, Neutrik gold-plated XLR, Mundorf Supreme Solder, soft touch paracord sleeve. Simple, elegant, affordable--and sounds excellent in every way with the HEDDphone.

Nice work – although I think silver is the way to go.

This copper cable compliments the HEDD very well with articulate, extended, textured bass; open, clean, tonally adept midrange; detailed highs with no harshness; much improved transients; [even] roomier and more coherent soundstage.

Also have a teknorob23 balanced Neotech UPOCC solid 8-cores hook-up wire: 4x 28 AWG silver + 4x 24 AWG copper cable and a HeadphoneLounge single-ended 4x 24 AWG stranded UPOCC silver cable for the HEDD [both are used with silver adapters: 3.5mm TRS female-to-4-pin mini XLR].

Agreed; I prefer silver, too, and am contemplating a balanced Neotech UPOCC solid 8-cores: 4x 28 AWG silver/gold alloy + 4x 22 AWG silver for the ADX5000. This one will have a much heftier price tag [and may remain hypothetical for that reason].

Probably better renounce the gold then... I'm skeptical as to its merits anyway, but have no experience with it.

I love the sound, and the fit is killing me because it is way too large and keeps sliding all over the place so I might need to find a ver 1 but aside from that what is everyone using to drive these ? When using my SPL Phonitor 2 on the balanced output I have to turn the volume to max depending on the album and it still doesn’t satisfy me.
I knew that the headphones were power hungry but I never thought that I would need to have my amp at max level.

I demoed these with Woo Audio WA5, and at high level, high gain and low impedance settings on single ended with stock, my ears are about to give up at 10:00 on the pot. I listen comfortably around 9:30 position. With my SP2000 DAP, I can listen comfortably at 140/150 single ended and it's not enough to blow my ears out at max volume. Still decent for a DAP with only 3V on tap (lots of powerful amps go way beyond that)

 

[pataburd]

Didn't care for the WA7 Fireflies w/WA7tp power supply in combination with the HEDD. But better tubes would probably have made a positive difference.

 

[paulybatz]

It wasn’t the best...but power wise was surprisingly good. That amp synergies day well with the LCD2

99% silver, 1% gold
reportedly imparts a natural warmth/fullness of detail and larger perception of space/depth
With the 22 AWG silver, I think this might be a worthwhile [though costly] experiment.

I agree. It couldn’t not be good. I’d even venture to say a silver/gold/platinum blend would be ideal.
