Phil, I almost purchased a Stefan Audio Art cable a few years ago when they were on special. However, I bought a hifi stand for $550 reduced from $900 instead.
The reason why I haven't bought them since (the same reason I haven't rewired my mission 782 speakers) is that I feel they will remove the "glow" and warmth of the headphones. In short, they might be different (perhaps better), but they aren't HD650s anymore. And they are the same price as the Touch almost! And a significant fraction of the price of the HD800s. >From a technical point of view, I've often been concerned about impedance matching when rewiring. Reviews also suggested the presence of microphony on the aftermarket cables, which is a pain. Sure upgrades like cables might offer you a way of improving your system without selling up and buying a whole new kit. But I think it is better to make fewer and larger leaps, saving yourself money. My Nordost cable costs the same as the HD800s all up, and I'd rather have them and copper cable than just the Nordost. My view anyway, learning the hard way. -- bingcrosby ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bingcrosby's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34653 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77158 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
