I bought some naked "Moon Audio Black Dragon" cable here in China, it looked like the proper one (I hope), but without the shielding and shell. The cable is ~21AWG and I used 3 strands of wire per polarity, so the cable is thick and heavy. And I also took a broken Cardas Parsec cable, reterminated it. I used the same HD800 connectors on these 2 cables, and they sound really similar to each other!
Maybe the Cardas cable has a bit more emotion and the "Black Dragon 3x" sounds a tad more grand and digital, but they are really close, sound-wise, but it's like the "Black Dragon 3x" is 4x the gauge? I don't know...
Anyway, I'm happy with both, since I got both for cheap, hehe. (But I know Cardas Clear Light cable is better)
I would agree with this. The catheter Hifiman Susvara cable only has 1 strand of copper and silver per channel and that sounded better than the very expensive thick multi-strand litz cables that I've tried
Wait, what? I thought headphones at that price can get more strands! Guess it's the same cable as the ones in HE6SE...
I found that older Ananda? had that 2 strands of silver + 1 strand of copper per channel catheter cable, which felt firmer, actually, quite OK in hand, definitely not as wimpy as the ones in HE6SE. And I like the sound of it even thought I didn't have much direct comparison (SE vs BAL...)
