Headphone cable upgrade


Crickets chirpin’ in the Headphone section where I originally posted this so thought I’d try it here.  Looking for recommendations for a better cable (not balanced) for my Hifiman Arya Stealths to replace the stock cable that I never used and can’t even find.  I’m looking for neutral sound with good tonality and open soundstage and want to stay under $200.  For reference I’m using a balanced LavriCable Master silver cable with my other amp that I really like but looking for something a bit cheaper for this application if possible.  Thanks!

LavriCables, Norne, and Forza are my favorites for fancy cables. But those will cost you.

If you just need a solid cable that won't cost a fortune and still sounds/feels better than those annoying stock cables, I like the Apos Flow

It's a solid value and can be configured different ways like black or red, 5ft or 10ft, different terminations too. All within your budget.

 

 

The Black Dragon Moon Audio cables work great with that headphone and come up used from time to time for around your budget. Enjoy the music

I going to give Marcom Custom Cables a try. I will be driving focal Stellas and some custom IEM not purchased yet with a custom Aric Audio tube amp.

I have yet to select which cable I want yet.

For my Arya Stealth, I used an 8-core "pure silver" cable from eBay seller koldingaudio. Took about 10 days to receive. A big improvement over stock.
