Any audiophiles? (1 Viewer)

[KHarp1]

I love sitting in front of my stereo chilling with some tunes and shuffling my chips.

I always have music on during poker nights. I get to enjoy the tunes while I’m not donking off my chips

Audiophile over here. Started collecting vinyl and building my system about 5 years ago. Still a student and should be making some big upgrades down the line, but love what I’ve got right now.

Absolutely, this is a constant battle. They're whole communities online dedicated to "audiophile" cables but in my opinion (and proven by science) as long as a cable is properly made, shielded, and is the correct gauge for the job it will sound identical to a "high-end" one. Not only will it sound identical but any measurable differences are completely negligible at frequencies humans can hear. The placebo effect and expectation bias is very real though.

The cable I have attached to my HD800s is the Moon Audio Black Dragon. It retails for nearly $700 (it came with the headphone I didn't purchase it) and after hundreds of hours of comparative testing, I cannot perceive a difference.

Agree. At the lengths we’re dealing with as long as the cable is properly constructed with materials fit for purpose, and shielded - a cable is a cable.

I’ve starting making my own with Mogami bulk - works perfectly! I’ve got some higher dollar cables from earlier in my journey and no discernible difference.

My obsession with music and audio gear long precedes my obsession with chips. Currently breaking in a recently acquired pair of Devore O/96.
