Focal Headphone Cable Replacement

@16f4 A couple of things... I have a nice strong signal now, and my music quality on Qobuz went from CD quality to Hi-Res MQA. Having a strong signal is a good thing, but the primary thing it does is prevent dropouts, which you probably weren't ... 
Missing tube integrated for Klipsch Forte III?
How much bass do you want?  What size room?  How much space do you have?  Have you done any room treatments?  I'd suggest searching some of the existing threads on subwoofer usage.
