Headphoneus Supremus
At least the Easter Bunny brings you eggs and the Tooth Fairy puts a quarter under your pillow. Magic cables do absolutely nothing!
This is a pointless conversation. (((
You were born with ears on your head, and they either hear or not. Scientific data has been entered in your head much later. Than you know music? Using what tools? Using graphs? Music is the hologram on the screen?
Cool! ))
I have nothing to say, but the reality is the opposite of what you are talking about.
I believe in 'magic cables'. I'm just not so sure about the Easter Rabbit or the Tooth Fairy.

don't be so hard, they can effectively reduce the signal accuracy, that's not nothing ^_^.
just by parting ways with the cable specifications. like using a headphone cable with tens of ohm, or a 2ohm coax cable when your gears expect impedance matching at 75ohm. there are a lot of ways to make the cable sound different. just no positive difference, only possible degradation.
what id like to know from the believers is what specific material used to wrap around the cable increases the sound quality. If you were listening to the audio and you unwrapped that magic material would the sound drastically change? Why isnt this magic material more widely known about?

Can you link to places where cables like that can be purchased?

Is it a case of if I hear a difference it's because I want to hear a difference, or is there really going to be an audible benefit to going with better cables?
What say you?
Over in the Pono DAP thread a lot of people say putting balanced cables on your HPs sound a lot better.
Would that be a "worthy upgrade" for my 650's?
I'm asking everywhere because if I have an affordable one made I won't be able to return it.
Also, I'm hoping copper will sound close to silver as I'm not rich.

I'm about to find out (I have ordered some new 4' cables to replace the stock 3M long cables so I can use it with my DAP on the run) and I'll let you know. It wasn't cheap, but I needed a new cable, and the gentleman has terminated it in a mini 4 port XLR, and provided 2 adaptors for me - 1 x 3.5mm unbalanced and 1 x 2.5mm TRRS balanced to suit my purposes. It'll look good and be very well built and suits my purposes better than the stock 3M cable that Sennheiser provides out of the box. It won't sound any different, but I knew that before I made the decision to purchase it.
Thank you, DP!
I look forward to your opinion.
BTW~I'm also wondering if an adapter can be made where I take the 1/8 mini plugs (for the Pono DAP) and adapt it to a 1'4 inch plug for my HP amp?
Is that similar to what you ordered?
Since my amp isn't balanced I don't know if this will work.
