Hey all, I’m a very very casual headphone guy so pardon my ignorance.

I’m currently using a pair of Audio Technica ATH-R70X with the Focusrite Scarlet Solo 3rd gen audio interface and Schiit Magni Heresy amp. I love these headphones but I want to try getting a different sound out of them. I’m thinking of trying the Schiit Valhalla 2 tube amp since I know tube amps sound much different from solid state amps. But first, I wanted to start small and see if there are different cables for these headphones that I can use that would alter the sound. Is that even possible? I was looking into Hart Audio Cables.

Thanks.

    Copper cables provide a little bit warmer, fuller sound, and silver-coated or silver cables provide a bit more ringing and clear sound. This happens due to different conduction physics of these materials. Also, the cleaner the conductor material, the less distortions and more volume you will get. Good quality cables are very cheap, returns start to diminish fast at around 10$. That’s probably all you need to know.
