Those look great. I assume they are on par sonically with the standard cable?

They are. And pretty cheap after you buy the interconnects that you need.
You can buy a little kit with every interconnect you will need and then the cables are pretty inexpensive and of course the 3.5mm will likely cover several headphones in your collection.

Sounds like theres nothing left to decide. Thank you.

Fog City is my go-to for cables these days. I like that Mogami wire, esp for the price. (My own made-up rule: I'm hesitant to spend over 50% of the cost of the headphone on the cable for that headphone.)

Curious... Do you recommend the Fog City Mogami over the F.C. Cardas, and why?

Have you tried the Spiral Twin over the regular Mogami?

Tomorrow is the big day. I will be trying the HD660S2's for the first time

I was surprised with mine. They were 95% of the heavy hitters I own. So I tossed them on a Schiit stack which includes a Lokius and got them exactly where I wanted them. I know it’s a sin to EQ but finances considering, it’s a remarkable outcome for 1/4 the price.

I will be starting on a Lotoo Paw Gold Touch and Sony NW-WM1Z balanced. Eventually I will plug into a Shanling M30 Pro.

Just received my new cable that I ordered from Norne Audio. They are the Drausk v2 (Lite) - 8-wire. I got one sleeve all black and the second sleeve black with with the copper highlights. I love the way it goes with my setup. Which is the HD660s2 paired with an excellent Amp/Dac, the JDS Element lll Mk2 Boosted to 2.6W,, It really pairs well with the headphones. Now with the new cable I can also enjoy how it all looks and the sounds... Lol

FYI, I stole the idea from someone here on the forum.

Tbh I've never tried any Cardas wire before, but I love the S2 so much I'd consider getting it for that headphone. As long as it doesn't later the sound too drastically... I just noticed the FC Cardas cable only terminates in 6.3mm or XLR so I'd only get it for a hard to drive headphone like a 6-series Senn, ZMF, or full-size planar.

I don’t hear any difference between them and the stock cable

What does the 10K High Shelf at 0 dB do?

I am just getting started. The HD660S2's sound great from Lotoo Paw Gold Touch. The Sony NW-WM1Z is far too under powered to make them sing. So far, with LPGT, positive impressions initially.

 

[raduray]

Any recommended XLR terminated cables for the 660s2?

Wire is wire. Connectors and build quality is a differentiator.

Amazon now has refurbished 660S2's for $299.

Oh hell yes!!!!

Oh hell yes!!!!

Now retiring the SRH1540 for good?
