One of the questions that crop up now and then on this thread is the recommendations for HD800, the wonderful yet difficult to please can. Well, normally I would suggest BW and other copper based cables.
I just wanted to share another possibility: the SW22. I had one of the first SW22 cables that Frank sent out as part of its introductory tour. Well, it never made it back to Frank.
Mine comes with mini XLR Connectors and 4 pin XLR balanced plug. It then occured to me last night, when I was taking the HD800 for a listen, that Frank has made up a mini XLR to HD800 adapter. So I set up the SW22 for the HD800.
Well, it was instantly impressive: the HD800 has increased dynamism and speed and the soundstage is now truly 3D with excellent depth. The vocals are now also more engaging. Very enjoyable.
Just wanted to share this combo which may not instantly come to mind.
