Headphone cable, what do you do?


I hope it is not just me but none of the headphones I have owned over last few years have long enough cable to reach from my headphone amp to my normal listening, lounging seat.

At present I have been using a fairly cheap 20ft extension cable I purchased off eBay but upon reflection could this be degrading the sq?

Surely I am not the only one in this situation so my question is what do you do? Your solution?

Finally someone brought this up. I’ve asked on headfi and received no response.
I’m driving Focal Clears with a Burson V2+. The Burson also functions as the DAC and preamp in my loudspeaker system. I have a fairly large room and my comfy lazy boy is in the opposite corner. Yes, I could listen the the Clears on the sofa, requiring "only" a 15 foot cord, but damnit I like to sit in the lazy boy. Now I need 18 feet. I’m using the stock Clear cord which I think is 10 feet, plus a 6 foot extension. If I sit in the lazy boy the cord is literally off the floor. Ughhh.

I was thinking a 20 footer of Moon Black Dragon or the Norne Draug. Problem with Norne would be getting him to build one that long. He did once when I had the Senn 800 but it took some asking.

I’m surprised we don’t see more of this situation, especially today when there are so many DAC/ headphone components on the market.
Btw..I you also have a Core Power Technologies unit. I love mine. Glad you got one and hope you didn't wait too long, or got d**ked over by Mark.
Yeah. I estimated at least $500.
But every time I listen all I think about is the cheap 6' extension cord on my $1,500 headphones, which takes away from the enjoyment. 
Ughh. Sucks. Lol. 
@geoffkait ....hmmmmmm.
I'd say the three things are:

Plug in the left.
Plug in the right.
Plug in to the amp.

Ha! What's my prize?
