Some commenters have asked why the copper cables here are more expensive than some others. Effect Audio says: "This is because of our unique Trio-Flex™ Pure Solid Core System. It divides a single solid core into three perfectly proportioned cores. This not only enhances the cable's flexibility and conductivity but also makes it resistant to vibration and corrosion, ensuring peak performance without compromise." I'll pin this comment.
You are criminally underrated. Best reviewer on youtube hands down!
And I thought the Viking Weave cables were expensive. 😮
Yea but their attack has never been equaled...
@@chungang7037, not all of us have golden ears. 👂
I think he was making a Viking joke, lol
@@wavetheorysound well spotted, sir!
@@ReverendDr.Thomas silver ears might be good enough as well 😃
3 minutes in, pause.
Bringing the Son on, adorable! Lol.
This is my second video with Wave.
Commentor 'Teemomilkov'mentioned that he is criminally underrated, I agree!
Thanks for the video! Comparison with Eletech Inferno and Dana Reference?
The difference in the sound of the cables is a great mystery, yet my ears tell me that it is a reality.👌👍
There's nothing mysterious about it. Wires have their own frequency response and sound signature.
@@SpiritualPsychotherapyServices Yes, but why?
@@danielsamson9505 because audio signals( say sound of a piano) is actually made of millions of sine waves with different frequencies, amplitudes and phases all playing together. Inferior audio cables are not capable of passing millions of sine waves at once with high fidelity. Infact the frequency response measurements of audio gear is misleading as those measurements are done by playing 1 sine wave at a time. Just because a piece of audio gear can play 1 sine wave with high fidelity doesnt mean it can play millions of them passing at the same time with same fidelity, infact there is little to no correlation. Sadly, our technologies are not advanced enough to " measure " the distortion of millions of sine waves being passed through an audio cable at the same time so those nonsense THD + noise specifications are the only thing the inexperienced audiophiles of new generation believe in.
@@danielsamson9505 because music signal( say the note of a piano) is made up of millions of sine waves of different frequencies, amplitudes and phases all reaching your ear at the same time. you can break a music signal into its millions of sine waves by using a mathematical technique called a fourier transform. Inferior audio cables are not able to pass so many sine waves at the same time with high fidelity. infact the typical audio measurements of audio gear is misleading because they are done playing just 1 sine wave at a time( its called a frequency sweep, but music doesnt sound anything remotely similar to frequency sweeps). Just because a piece of audio gear can pass 1 sine wave at a time with high fidelity doesnt mean it can pass millions of them with same fidelity, infact there is little to no correlation between them. Sadly, with our current technology we dont have any way to measure the distortion of millions of sine waves at the same time so those useless THD+noise measurements is all we have, done using useless frequency sweeps.
My main issue is what is the difference in copper that makes them so expensive
Will the code 24 be a bad pair to a bright headphone or it will add soundstage to it without being harsh?
Nice review,! which will be your pick for HekSE, Code 23, 24 or Lavri.
Personally I'd be happy with any of them. If you need to chill out the top end a bit, Code 23. If you like a brighter sound, one of the other two. If you're looking for the brighter sound and want to push performance, Code 24.
I know you can't directly compare, since they have different connectors, but at $900 for the Code 24, how does it compare to the Lazuli Reference?
Less stiff lol. Brighter. The Lazuli has the warmer sig similar to the Code 23. Detail retrieval is likely close.
Those two EA cables are too thick for IEMs, I consider 22 AWG to be the absolute maximum for IEMs. Thanks for the review Sir.
How do these compare to the ones from moon audio dragon series?
I have not heard any of the Moons enough to say.
Looking for that 90% off coupon code... 😂
Btw, ever thought about doing a tier list rating for dacs and headphones? Less work and more casual than a massive shootout, but with your knowledge base i think it could help some people. Just a thought.
Bussin 💀😂
do you think headphone cables will make a bigger difference if the source gear is more expensive ?
Yes. But that doesn't mean nothing happens on cheaper gear either. Typically higher priced gear brings more resolution and thus more ability to resolve differences in signal chains. But, I have heard cables make differences in more moderately priced gear many times.
@@wavetheorysoundInteresting that you should say that ..I’ve noticed that since I’ve upgraded my source chain ⛓️💥 my LCDX 2021 ( yes it has the 3.5-4.5k recession) it’s less compressed and on better recordings not even noticeable…
Now I’ve added a Schiit Lokius for those times that the music needs a little bit of help..but now I’m wondering seriously..should I upgrade my cables from the Hart Audio too these 🤔🤔🤔
My theory on expensive cables are that they are just changing the impedance load of the headphone/IEMs. Using thicker and different metals would affect the ohm load to some degree, but you should be able to replicate the effect with impedance adapters on cheaper cables. I would like to see some blind tests with cheap cables with ohm adapters vs expensive cables.
It’s not as simple as that. Those Litz bundles inside those cable have different wire gauges that vary the impedances and capacitance hence changing the sound ever so slightly that no impedance adapter can ever replicate
@@NexusS4GIceJelly You can get adapters as low 5 ohms and up to 600 ohm, so unless you have tested every adapter at every ohm load then you can't say that adapters can't match these cables. Plus, I said it was my theory, you can believe whatever you like.
@@land_walker using the term "theory" in a discussion where science is core is risky. You're using it colloquially. In scientific terms, "theory" tells us that impedance adapters increase the load on the amplifier output and thus reduce the amount of power that reaches the headphone/IEM/speaker. The sonic effects you're hearing with impedance adapters are likely very similar to changing the output impedance of an amp. They're not exactly the same, but in either case as output impedance or the impedance of an adapter goes up, the driver(s) is/are getting less power and thus their motion is not as controlled. You're likely hearing changes in the wetness-dryness of the sound. Most analog audio cables are trying to be as low in impedance as possible. @ayushbhaumik7980 was saying it other comments: a music waveform is made up of LOTS of individual sine waves that are time-aligned in a certain way. Conductive materials vary in the amount of speed and accuracy they allow a signal to propagate through them with frequency. The effect is that different frequencies are slowed at different rates, smearing the initial time-alignment of the signal. This is a fundamentally different problem to solve than what impedance adapters are doing. Also, a frequency sweep which passes only a single frequency at a time won't catch any of these timing effects. You MUST have multiple sine waves superimposed on each other to catch that.
we can hear differences between expensive cables because music signal( say the note of a piano) is made up of millions of sine waves of different frequencies, amplitudes and phases all reaching your ear at the same time. you can break a music signal into its millions of sine waves by using a mathematical technique called a fourier transform. Inferior audio cables are not able to pass so many sine waves at the same time with high fidelity. infact the typical audio measurements of audio gear is misleading because they are done playing just 1 sine wave at a time( its called a frequency sweep, but music doesnt sound anything remotely similar to frequency sweeps). Just because a piece of audio gear can pass 1 sine wave at a time with high fidelity doesnt mean it can pass millions of them with same fidelity, infact there is little to no correlation between them. Sadly, with our current technology we dont have any way to measure the distortion of millions of sine waves at the same time so those useless THD+noise measurements is all we have, done using useless frequency sweeps.
Difficult decision, keeping the son or getting nice new hifi gear 🤣
Absolutely farcical, blindfold him, throw some budget cables into the mix, swap em over multiple times, and check the consistency, of his preferences, otherwise any opinions he's offered, on these cables are worthless!
not gonna comment on sound quality, because like expensive wine, studies have found that it's extremely easy to trick expert, but they look super stiff and actually pretty shit to be honest, why cheap plastic coating for a 1000 dollars cable this is ridiculous lol, should be carbon fibre weaving for that price. Regardless to their sonic performance, stock cable look and from what I can see feel much better than those with nameless XLR plug.
lol that’s crazy. So no point in watching this video
You are criminally underrated. Best reviewer on youtube hands down!
