Ditto with the Drop-supplied cable for the HD-6XX's. I think an old lamp cord with chunks of insulation missing would be an upgrade on that.

Well, now I know where the cord from my living room lamp went.

I'm just borrowing it. I'll return it with the Super Amp.

Now you all trying to make me feel bad for getting zmf grand palladium cables.

It got it because I ended up buying the Tunsteng DS (2k). Ironically the cables helped my MoonDrop Para cans with its treble sibilance problem.

Don't.

It's your money and your ears. Buy whatever you want.

Here's my advice on cables: let your pocketbook be your guide. If the cost doesn't scare you and you want to give something a try, why not? If the cost scares you or you think it's silly or stupid to pay that much, then don't. Just don't judge others. Each of us have our own priorities and biases and desires and can judge with our own ears.

Me, I tend towards the function over form camp and don't want to pay more than I have to in order to get proper function. But if you want to spend $13K on one-meter Nor-Kost Mega Cable, then that's fine by me. Just keep your "ooh it's so much better than everything else" comments to yourself, please. Because you don't (and can't) know that.

Custom-shop Hart Audio. Got a second one just like that, but ¼"-terminated instead of XLR.
Doesn't sound any better than stock, but it's so much nicer to deal with in every other way. Worth the 100 bucks, and supporting a small Texas family business in the process. Win-win-win.

Indeed. Since it improved the SQ on my lower cost cans, the cables are staying.
Incidentally, I also discovered my Jot 2 sounds so much better (warmer, meatier bass) if I used my Magni amp as a preamp to the Jot2.

 

[Ripper2860]

Hmmm. Maybe I'll try Piety to Jot1 and if I like it, pull my Jot1 from classifieds.

All this “talk” about how bad Class D amps are…. But yet I am sitting here listening to The Alan Parsons Project MoFi LP on my Audio Research DS450 Class D amp. It sure makes my Maggie’s sing.. just saying. And all my interconnects and speaker cables are by Blue Jean Cables.

I am right there with you on the Hart Audio cables. I ordered mine the same day that I got my Sundaras and saw what they provide as headphone cables

Maybe I'll try the Valhalla 2 to the Jot 2. I'm just not impressed with the Jot 2. Right now I'm using Valhalla 2 to the Rekkr with great results.

OUT FOUL SPIRIT! OUT! I CAST THE EVIL CLASS D(EMON) FROM YOUR SYSTEM! IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS AUDIOPHILE, I CAST IT OUT, NEVER TO RETURN!

... or had mini VU indicators ...

Yes, well Jason already knows (and ignores!) that. I suspect he will dismiss the inclusion of tube-ish...Soul Glow !

As well he can. It is his company and to date he hasn't pulled any fingers.

Well most people who buy a 6K headphone such as the Susvara, a $300 cable ain't gonna cut it. It has to be a 3K cable instead

Yeah, but you need the $4,000 version that is blessed by a Rabi after it's been buried in the arctic permafrost for 30 days. They sound better.
