I have a few questions that i am confused with, sorry.
Is the cable "copper venom" a new cable frank is making? And how does it compare to the silver widow?
Does a balanced xlr make the cable sound better? And can i get q balanced xlr with an xlr to 6.3mm adapter just so it sounds better than a normal 6.3mm cable?
And is it really true that silver pins sound better than gold?
Thank you guys, sorry that i dont really understand. I appreciate the help greatly.
I will try to go through ur questions one by one as good as i can
- No, its not a new cable.its been around a while..but just recently it got more attention because more and more people are finding out how good they are and buy them...
There are basically 2 models until now.. The copper venom and the silver venom..both in 8wire and (RC4) 4 wire versions...frank told us he going to introduce a more affordable venom line soon.
Compared to the silver widow? Well check the last few pages.. It will tell u all u wanna know about the two cables
Yes and no..it all depends on the amp ur using...my new amp has single output and dual XLR..and my headphone connected to the dual XLR sounds more powerfull...and faster..as if its less restricted.. But as i said..it all depends on ur amp..a well built quality single ended amp can be just as good...XLR doesnt mean its always better!
And no..an adapter doesnt make ur cable sound better
About Pins/ connectors...well..some say it does influence the sound a bit because of the metal used..other say its snakeoil theory...but fact is that a good connector does help the connection between amp and cable....whether its silver based, copper based etc.
And PS..the connectors are never pure gold..they are goldplated copper..or better rhodium plated copper..or silver plated copper,of just partly silver pins ( never found pins thats 100%silver though)
Hope this helped a bit..and if anyone has something to contribute to this or if i said something wrong..pls do corrct me
