I've never noticed with any sort of cable. My Q cable is 10 feet and I've had no issues. I actually sit right next to my player at the moment, but I want to lie in bed, or sit on the couch when I move my stuff into the living room. I have a hook on my desk that I just spool the extra cable on and it works well.

Here's another question: How much does cable quality degrade per foot?

FWIW, I switched from the Silver Dragon, which was very good, to the Q cable and the biggest difference to me is how light and unnoticeable the Q is. I had a 15 ft Silver Dragon and found it was always tangling compared to the 12 ft Q cable. Soundwise it seems that the Q might  be a bit more open sounding with tremendous bass definition. This may also be due to the Liquid Fire settling in so nicely but it all just seems to work very well right now.

I took the budget route and ordered the toxic cable 6ft SPC cable. I post some thoughts when i get the cable. Probably next week?

Looking forward to your thoughts, nice to see someone else using this excellent cable company. Very pleased with my silver poison.

Sad to have had to stick these babies on classified along with the cans, but had to be done. I will miss em!

Dang, that sucks Naim. Just got my LCD-2's in today and my Norse 8-wire will be here in 2 days.

I think i give Norse or Q Audio a try. Seems fair priced also.

You might want to look at toxic cables as well, I love my set!

Just got the norse 8-wire in...this thing is gorgeous, to say the least. Not only is it a work of art, but it takes the build quality and sound to another level. I say sound, because the original cable that  came with the LCD-2, produced static when I twisted the end in the socket. No static at all with the twisting of the Norse. It is very flexible. I do not know whether to attribute this to it being 8 small wires, or litz twist. Trevor is a pleasure to do business with. I am rather inexperienced with after market cabling, but I must say, this has been a very positive purchase. I highly recommend.

Ooooo I get to hear it at the meet. I love my Q cable, but you gotta be curious.

Absolutely, Morbid....I've been curious about the Q cable also, as it was my second choice.

How do you find the bass on the norse 8-wire.  I just tried a 4-wire and loved the mids/highs but am hoping a 6 or 8 wire would boost the bass weight a touch.
I did not find the 4 wire to be lacking bass but I have heard the addition of conductors further improves LF weight.

I don't really notice any change to the lower end. Just added a tad more clarity and air to the mids and highs...I really need to give the stock another listen after I have let the cans, amp and DAC (when it arrives) burn in more.

 

[DarknightDK]

Can't wait for my Norse 8 wire to arrive. I'll post some impressions after the burn in.

I'm really digging my Norse 4 wire.. I had to re-terminate it with a Furutech 1/4" plug as I bought from someone who had it in 4-pin balanced connector. Can't really give detailed impressions at this time as I only had about 20-25 hours of head time with my LCD-2 before then. What I can say is that it makes the cans much easier for me to listen to as the stock cable was too short. The weight adds a great deal of comfort as well. I have a Toxic silver cable waiting at home also for use with my SR-71B so at some point I can use the adapter and compare the two.
 
Trevor at Norse was really great to talk with, and he gave lots of good information. He had/has a few cables available at a discount if anyone is interested.
