Sony's new flagship 2014 - MDR-Z7
No I did not and I don't intend to do any test. I simply listen and enjoy music and I personally discovered improvements worthy of my investment. Sometimes it's a good thing to not believe in cables because that hobby can get really expensive and nobody's wallet is going to like that. ...- dL.

Nordost Cables Thread
The Official Nordost Cables Impression Thread www.nordost.com (The Heimdall Hat-Trick. My recent purchases after attending a local Nordost event.) I've always been a non-believer in cables, especially since I've purchased cables from other well known brands in the past and there...- dL.

Sony's new flagship 2014 - MDR-Z7
What a world of difference after upgrading my power and USB cable to the Nordost Heimdall 2. Now listening to the Z7 is at another whole new level. I can't wait until the day when Nordost comes out with a cable for the Z7. The Z7 is definitely a keeper for me, even after owning the HD800 for...- dL.

What's the best amp for HD800
The HD800 sounds really really good with the Woo Audio WA7 + WA7TP. It has a lot of synergy and the overall presentation is very musical to my ears. dL- dL.

WOO-HOOOO... WA7 "fireflies"!!!
Just want to share my recent experience with cables. I was never a big believer that cables can change much for the value, until I've demoed the Nordost first hand. I attended a Nordost event in Vancouver, BC yesterday and all I can say is there is definitely a NOTICEABLE difference up to a...- dL.

Woo Audio WA7TP (tube power supply) Impressions Thread
Congrats on your new purchase! Yes it's normal to spin like a knob and it's also normal that it is a bit wobbly. This has been the only disappointing part about the WA7 & WA7TP, but I guess they cut a few corners so they can avoid building more custom parts just for the power button, or else...- dL.

Focal SPIRIT PROFESSIONAL Impressions thread
My oh my, this is the best discovery ever. Thanks to @HiFiGuy528 The FSP is the most neutral yet musical headphone I've ever heard. Normally there's something I can complain about the sound (i.e. too dark, too bright, too distant, too harsh, too cold, too detailed, etc.) I can't find...- dL.

Why isn't the Focal Spirit Classic more popular!
The Focal headphones are amazing. I've tried both Classic and Pro and I kept the Pro at the end. The Classic is still great and I find the Focal headphones to be grossly underrated. They combine neutrality with musicality, something that is usually very hard to achieve unless it's coloured in a...- dL.
