Looking for cable recommendations for sennheiser HD800s
After auditioning many different headphones at Axpona, I purchased Sennheiser HD800s. I have begun listening and am happy with my decision.
But when auditioning at Axpona, I recall none of the booths used the stock cables- everyone was using an upgraded replacement cable. And as I was focused on the ‘phones, I didn’t really pay much attention to the brands, types, styles of cables. I do recall Kimber, Cardas and Moon were there, but did not seriously retain any impressions. And I know from experience with my home rig that cables can make a big improvement.
So I am looking for recommendations for which cables I should consider for my HD800s. I could spend up to $1000, but would sure like to be in the $500 range. And used would be fine with me, especially if you know a source for used headphone cables as they are a rare commodity on Audiogon. Thanks.
I was looking at getting a Lavri cable for a pair of driver type headphones that I had made for me but I was not sure that I could afford what I wanted. Anyway, I then contacted Travis at Corpes Cables and I bought a Gravedigger and am very impressed with the cable and the customer service. His cable sounds significantly better than the HiFi Man stock cable that I was using. https://corpsecable.com/pages/corpse-cable-gravedigger-made-in-usa-by-cardas-audio |
