Just a quick question, for those who are more knowledgable about the nuances of headphone cabling.
I have a stock pair of D2000's that i'm growing to love dearly. However, there is the occasional fuzz, or sibilance, that pecks here and there. I assumed it was part of the headphone for a while, as others have mentioned, but the way it sounds just doesn't feel that way.
For instance, when there is a very layered timber of sound that is in the upper mid/highs there may be a slight tinny fuzz. It often sounds more electric... or something... not sure how to describe it. But, i seem to have had some success with changing the opamps of my D10.
Now i'm wondering, since the cable is showing that strange bit of white fluff fraying, if perhaps it could be to blame? Could replacing the cable net me a much greater response at these frequencies?
I know it can often be the recording as well. But sometimes it is hard to tell. So i was hoping as another part of this, someone might do me a favor. If you read this and have a stock d2000 and some type of amping, especially a d10, i'd love to have your help in testing a song. That way, perhaps i can determine first of all if there is something wonky in my headphone's drivers.
(i.e. i'll send a particular song and we'll set up some parameters and things to check)
Thanks!
