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.
As long as it works, the cable generally should not make any real difference to the audio quality, provided it is of reasonable length and reasonable quality. Placebo effect is always a significant factor with audio though.
Some very low/variable impedance IEMs may be slightly affected by differences between cables, but definitely not those Audio Technicas.
“may” but actually aren’t.
