Title: Replacement headphone cables?
Post by: djdube525 on May 18, 2018, 02:50:27 PM
Any recommendations out there for headphone cables?

I'm increasingly getting annoyed at the stock, long as crap cables that came with my Oppo PM-3. The Oppos take standard plugs so not a big issue.

An important consideration... I'm a frugal SOB, so options like Blue Dragon cables from moon-audio, which I'm sure are fantastic, are quite a bit more than I want to spend. Curious if these on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Hybrid-Silver-Plated-Headphone-Upgrade/dp/B017DNC59U) or Lavricables (http://www.lavricables.com/cables/reference-silver-oppo-pm3/) would be reasonable options... I was leaning to stick with copper though.

Other options but skeptical...
- Option 1 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/4ft-3-5mm-Male-to-Male-8-Cores-5N-Pcocc-Audio-cable-for-OPPO-PM-3-B-O-Play-H6/112530498860?hash=item1a3357252c:m:mJRNgEUzv9FOuPS5N6yG70A)
- Option 2 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Replacement-Audio-Cable-Upgrade-5N-OCC-Wire-For-B-O-Beoplay-H6-H8-Headphones/112546520231?hash=item1a344b9ca7:m:mX1QoULgPH5RFbHNBRJgV8A)

Hello djdube525,

My favourite topic - cables!  :)

Doubtful if these are really 6n or 8N cables.

But maybe something like this?  http://www.oyaide.com/ENGLISH/AUDIO/products_category/headphone_earphone_cbl/pg521.html

I see their cables for around $200 and at least you will get what you pay for. https://www.amazon.com/OYAIDE-HPC-35SRH-1-3m-Headphone-cable/dp/B00A71ADP4

PCOCC I think.

I've been itching to get cable upgrades for my Sennheisers but haven't gotten the chance yet.

   . Pangea will do just fine for headphones. Even the generic cables at your local music store [ Gar Center] will suffice. Easy to try first. You may be surprised.

I ran across a company called Periapt Cable and thought it's cheap enough
to give it a try. On my Sennheiser 598SR the cable is a nice improvement.
Messed up and got a 3.5 plug so have to use a 3.5 to 1/4" adapter that I had
around so not sure of i'm getting all they can do. It has sparked an interest in
seeing if I can do better though.

Pete:
If it's any where near as good as your Spirit II, I'd
love to hear it.

Thanks
