This is crazy. I've had to switch the oppo back to normal gain because the cables are so damn efficient!

Cables can affect the gain, too?

The bottom one looks exactly like the one I got for my HE-400i. Love the color. Picture does not do it justice. The wood splitter is the rosewood with black inset

What is the colr of the splitter?
 
Please send us images.

From the website, it is called Caribbean Rosewood.

Nice pictures, Trevor does great work.

This cable is such an improvement over the stock. I mean, aesthetics aside, it really opens up the bass and allows such detailed placement of instruments that I am intoxicated every time I listen to it. Never fails to leave me smiling...

Can I rely on your word? Does it teally improve the SQ compared to the stock cable?

This isn't some unscientific "it sounds louder" thing. I've made threads in the past about how I thought the HA -1 was underpowered, this is the first time I have had to switch the unit to low gain.

On high gain, I used to be on around 2-3 o'clock,now I'm on about 9-10 o'clock. Same songs and everything else identical.

Even at - 80dB I can hear the headphones from my kitchen..

This has never happened before. After 48 hours these things really began to open up

Was your old cable single ended and your new one ballanced?

No. Hd800s went from CH800S balanced to norne draug 2 balanced. LCD3's went from stock balanced to norne draug 2 balanced.

These cables just don't seem to need as much to get them to the listening levels I need.

hmm, this is strage. Are you sure you didn't change anything else?
