Reply to comment by Th3truthhurts in Taking an electric vehicle for a test drive boosts some prospective buyers’ identity as early technology adopters – and that strengthened self-perception translates into a higher likelihood the test-driver will want to buy the car, new research suggests. by memorialmonorail
Driving an EV is such a different experience than an ICE car, it is no surprising that when someone experiences something new they might want one. Not having those gear changes results in really smooth driving/acceleration.

head-fi and specialized reddit groups like this and facebook are different beasts. Facebook you get spieled on cheap chinese crap, here you get spieled on extravagant headphone setups that most people would never be able to afford.

Yeah, you just have to realize that after a point, and that point depends entirely on each individual, you get to where you see huge diminishing returned after a certain price point. If you already have a ndh 30, I would imagine you are pretty much there. If you are happy where you are at then stay there. If not you might need to look at where in the line you can improve things, like whatever headphone amp you have. Throwing thousands of dollars on headphones is something I know I can't afford... I wish I could though, lol.

you can tell a difference in digital signals? really?
you do understand digital signals are literally just binary, 1's and 0's. You aren't going to tell any fucking difference if that 1 is going across a copper wire or silver wire.

Kind of like how Roon ($800+ music player software) has "bit perfect sound". You can't tell how many times I just stop listening on my device thinking to myself "That bit sounded like a 1 but it REALLY should have been a 0. FUCK THIS SHIT".

Can you tell a difference between a FLAC file and 320kbps mp3's? Really? Honestly? I am not doubting you can. A lot of people can't and that is fine.
If you can, that's great. If not, there is absolutely no reason to get aftermarket cables.
If you can, then know that aftermarket cables will have an even more imperceptible better sound quality. They may be technically better (99.9% silver or whatever other marketing gimmick they will throw at you), but it will be extremely hard to tell any difference.
The only good thing about aftermarket cables is that it means you can replace your original cable if it gets damaged.

$217 at Amazon for Monoprice M1070. I love mine, I think they sound great.
