here's my take:
Item: Mini-to-Mini (3.5mm) using neutrik NYS series mini plug and Canare 4E6S cable
ok, before i go on, i wanna warn that i'm no pro...actually quite a noob...the whole reason why i bot this extension cable is becoz i bot an el-cheapo headphone Sennheiser HD201....cost RM105, but perfect sound to my ears...again, not a prob & the output is good enough to my ears and usage..
the cable length on the HD201 is 3m...the distance between my TV & couch is 4m++ so i needed an extension cable...bot one of a computer accessories shop in Lowyat plaza..RM5 for a 3m length...plug the extension cable in, and immediately the output is halved! crazy...
so as per audiophiles forumer's advise, i bot a headphone amplifier Fiio E3 @ RM35 from lelong.com.my
tried the HD201 & ext cable with E3...ridiculous output....not only wasnt the sound output improved...it actually got worse...the louder i go, the more muffled the sound was...
tried HD201 with E3...perfecto sound quality...so i know the problem lies with the el-cheapo extension cable...
order this Canare 4E6S with Neutrik NYS 3.5mm plugs last week...arrived today...
very nicely constructed...finishing was nice altho there's a small spot that's a little bt scratched...but acceptable...fit snugly into my iphone too..
the packaging that the cable came with is the weirdest of all...comfort socks box wrapped in chinese newspaper
anyways...summary, tried HD201 with E3 & this newly received ext cable...the result?? FLAWLESS
would recommend this to anyone!!
